Ever wanted to bolt your own rocket together, light the fuse, and see if you could make it farther than the rest of the world? Rocket Launch is a one-finger physics rocket launcher where every run starts on the pad and ends in glory, smoke, or a beautiful belly-flop into the sea. Pick your launch angle, hit FIRE, hold to thrust, and ride the arc as far as the build will carry you. Tilt the rocket too steep and you stall. Too flat and you faceplant on the beach. Find the sweet spot and the horizon belongs to you. Every flight rewards real timing: tap a perfect ignition release, deploy boosts at peak speed, kiss the wave tops to skim across the ocean for combo bonuses. UPGRADE A REAL ROCKET Five rocket parts plus the launch pad, five tiers each. Better engines for thrust. Bigger fuel tanks for range. Cleaner wings for lift. Sharper fins for control. Carbon nose cones for speed. Every upgrade changes how the rocket flies, not just its number. BUILD YOUR FLIGHT IDENTITY Pilots, lucky charms, and set bonuses stack into completely different play styles. Engineer pilots get an extra booster. Skim builds chain wave bounces forever. Fuel specialists go for the moon. ONE FINGER, EVERY INTERACTION Drag to aim. Tap FIRE. Hold to thrust. Lift your finger to glide. The whole game lives in one thumb. SOFT FAIL, BIG REWARDS Crashes are part of the run. Every flight earns gold and pushes your record. Even a short hop pays into the next upgrade. No timers, no energy bars, no waiting. FEATURES - Real physics: thrust, lift, drag, stall, weather-vaning - Five tiers of upgrades across six rocket components - Pilots, charms, and set bonuses for build variety - Wave skimming with kiss-bonus combos and combo caps - Aero buffeting and dynamic clouds at altitude - Procedural islands at distance milestones - Global leaderboard, daily and all-time - Available in English, Japanese, German, and Spanish - No ads. No pay-to-win. Aim. Fire. Fly. Land. Upgrade. Repeat.

The orbit is drowning in trash, and you are part of the last janitor fleet that can still save it. Pilot your cleaning ship through eight dangerous orbits, collect space debris, and clear the way for the future. Between asteroids, active satellites, mines, and cosmic storms, every maneuver counts. Your mission: • Clear diverse orbits across the solar system • Collect debris and remove dangerous space junk • Dodge asteroids, satellites, mines, and cosmic hazards • Use your shield, magnet, boost, and laser at the right moment • Expand your fleet with extraordinary cleaning ships • Earn your flight license and prove your skills • Unlock achievements and compete via Game Center • Discover in the CC Academy why space debris is a real threat MORE THAN JUST A SPACE GAME A single tiny piece of debris can destroy a satellite and create more dangerous fragments. This can trigger a chain reaction that threatens satellites, communications, and future space missions. Cosmo Cleaner combines accessible arcade gameplay with a mission inspired by a real challenge facing our future. Not every hero wears a spacesuit. Often, they are the quiet heroes of everyday life: janitors who show up day after day and keep everything running. In Cosmo Cleaner, they become the saviors of orbit. Your shift begins. Clean the orbit. Protect the future.
