Space Docking is a difficult game to describe. It is set in space, hence the first part of the title. As a player your main (and only) activity will be docking, as described by the second part of the title. Now that I think about it, the game is quite self explanatory, which renders this description somewhat pointless. I apologise for wasting your time, you can rest assured that my copywriter has been fired. I will now attempt to remedy the situation by listing out some random, unrelated buzzwords... Endless! Leaderboards! Space! Haptic Feedback! Drum and Bass! Docking! Explosions! iPhone X! The Other iPhones! iPads! Space! Docking! Space Docking!
