Padfall is a precision rocket landing game. Guide a reusable booster to a soft, upright touchdown with careful steering and thrust. Steer with the left pad and set thrust with the right. The altitude tape shows a burn bracket: the last altitude where a full vertical burn still stops you at the deck. Light the engine there, manage your sideways drift, and touch down soft, upright and on the pad. • Twenty campaign missions on Earth, the Moon and Mars, unlocked one landing at a time • Moving recovery decks at sea, night recoveries, crosswind and thin Martian air • Thrust and attitude control • Grades for every touchdown: Nominal or Perfect, with a score for softness, centring, attitude and fuel left • Cadence: a chain of drops that climbs higher each time, with a growing score multiplier • Progress and settings are saved on your device • Supported by ads; optional paint schemes for the booster as in-app purchases; no account

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Turboprop Flight Simulator at none against Padfall's 10. Turboprop Flight Simulator also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Padfall's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
