AstroFlight ā Pilot Your Rocket Through the Solar System Embark on an unforgettable journey across our solar system with AstroFlight, a fully 3D space exploration and flight simulation game built for iPhone and iPad. Whether you're a space enthusiast, an aspiring astronaut, or just looking for a relaxing yet challenging flight experience, AstroFlight puts the cosmos at your fingertips. EXPLORE A LIVING 3D SOLAR SYSTEM Spin, zoom, and glide through a beautifully rendered solar system featuring all eight planets, each with realistic relative sizes, orbital distances, and orbital speeds. Watch Mercury race around the sun while distant Neptune drifts slowly along its massive orbit. Saturn's iconic rings shimmer as it rotates, and a dense starfield surrounds you on every side, creating a true sense of scale and wonder. Tap on any planet to learn fascinating facts ā discover why Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, why Mars is called the Red Planet, and what makes Jupiter's Great Red Spot so famous. Every planet includes bite-sized educational content that's fun for explorers of all ages. FLY YOUR OWN ROCKET When you're ready for action, launch your rocket toward any planet and switch into an immersive cockpit view. Steer using an intuitive on-screen joystick or connect a compatible game controller for precision control. Hold the thrust button to accelerate, and watch your fuel gauge ā every second of thrust counts. REALISTIC GRAVITY AND FLIGHT PHYSICS AstroFlight features a genuine flight model where each planet's gravity affects your rocket differently. Heavier planets like Jupiter and Neptune pull harder, while smaller worlds like Mercury and Mars are more forgiving. Master the balance between speed, fuel, and gravity to land smoothly ā come in too fast, and your rocket won't survive. LAND, EARN, AND UPGRADE Successfully landing on a planet rewards you with credits based on its difficulty. Use your earnings to unlock more powerful rockets in the Hangar: Scout I ā your reliable starting rocket Voyager Heavy ā increased thrust and fuel capacity for tougher missions Titan X ā the ultimate rocket for conquering the outer planets Each rocket offers different thrust-to-fuel ratios, giving you new strategies for tackling distant worlds like Uranus and Neptune. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROGRESSION Track your progress with a built-in achievement system: First Touchdown ā land on your first planet Inner System Explorer ā conquer Mercury, Venus, and Mars Outer System Explorer ā master Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune Grand Tour ā land on all eight planets and complete your collection Your mission log keeps a running history of every launch, landing, and crash. DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE AstroFlight includes a friendly welcome guide that walks new players through the controls ā exploring the solar system, launching, steering, managing fuel, and landing safely. Revisit the guide anytime from the Hangar menu. FEATURES AT A GLANCE Fully 3D solar system with all eight planets, realistic orbits, and a dynamic starfield Tap-to-explore planet cards with fun facts about each world Immersive cockpit flight mode with gravity-based physics On-screen joystick plus full support for MFi and Bluetooth game controllers Three unlockable rockets with unique thrust and fuel stats Credit-based economy and progression system Built-in achievement tracking Particle effects for thrust and crashes Haptic feedback for an immersive feel Friendly onboarding guide for new players One-time purchase ā no subscriptions, no ads, no IAP required A SPACE ADVENTURE THAT NEVER GETS OLD Whether you're threading the needle for a perfect landing on Mars, racing gravity to reach distant Neptune, or simply enjoying the planets in orbital view, AstroFlight offers something for every kind of space explorer.

Orbit Slinger
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hold a whole solar system in your hands, running on real gravity. Fling planets around the Sun, keep them in orbit, and find your own way to the high score. Orbit Slinger is a tiny universe that runs on the same law of gravity as the real one. The star pulls on every world, and every world pulls on every other, moment by moment. Throw a world too softly and it falls into the star. Too hard and it sails off into the dark. Get it just right and it swings around and around, the same way the Moon stays up. REAL GRAVITY, REAL ORBITAL MECHANICS ⢠Newton's gravity, simulated step by step. Nothing is scripted: what you throw is what happens. ⢠Swing past a giant planet to steal its speed in a slingshot, or shed speed with a gravity brake. ⢠Watch orbits stretch, wobble and somehow hold, or planets collide and scatter like cosmic billiards. ⢠Curious? See your orbit in real units: AU, km/s, Earth days and orbital energy. THE SOLAR SYSTEM LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT ⢠See Earth up close: lit by the Sun and spinning, with drifting clouds, sunlight glinting off the oceans and city lights glowing across its night side. ⢠Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and its rings, Uranus and Neptune. All eight planets, plus our Sun, alive with sunspots and a shimmering corona. ⢠Earth, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and the Moon are drawn from real spacecraft maps. ⢠Tap any world and the camera flies in close. ⢠Beyond our Sun, stranger stars wait: a red dwarf, a swollen red giant and a pulsar with sweeping beams. ENDLESS WAYS TO WIN ⢠No single right answer. You choose where to throw, how hard, and in what order. ⢠Score with precision: perfectly round orbits, lanes that never cross, fast finishes. ⢠Or score with daring: hair's-breadth near misses, slingshots, wild orbits and spectacular knock-outs. ⢠Every win earns a style badge, so you find out what kind of slinger you are. COMPETE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY ⢠Game Center leaderboards for every level, with friends and global ranks. ⢠A new Daily Challenge every day: the same level for everyone in the world, with its own leaderboard and a streak to keep alive. ⢠33 achievements to earn. ⢠Slow-motion replays of your best moments. Keep your favorites, save them as videos and show everyone how you did it. LEARN REAL SCIENCE WITHOUT TRYING ⢠Tap a planet for fun facts: how many times it has gone around, how long its year lasts, its closest shave. ⢠Go deeper with real stats from NASA fact sheets: mass, gravity, length of day, temperature and moons. ⢠Sol, a cheerful little sun, explains each new idea the first time you meet it, in short voiced and captioned tips. MADE FOR EVERYONE ⢠One flick to learn, endless orbits to master. Easy for young players, deep enough for grown-ups. ⢠Built for iPhone and iPad, with smooth 120 Hz animation on ProMotion displays. ⢠No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Your progress stays on your device. More star systems and Orbit Lab, a free-form gravity sandbox, are optional one-time unlocks. Pick up a planet and sling it around the star. Gravity does the rest.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SpaceSPflight at none against Orbit Slinger's 5. Orbit Slinger's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
