It is super hard to land a rocket on a platform in the middle of an ocean. Elon Musk has had to learn that the hard way, and now, you too can experience the crushing disappointment of trying to land the SpaceX Falcon 9 lander, thanks to this game (completely unaffiliated with SpaceX). Yes, it is possible to land it!

Falcon Lander holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Falcon Lander has 259 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Falcon Lander's written reviews are positive against 100% of Construct Up's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Falcon Lander ships an update every 6 weeks, Construct Up every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
