Crazy Rocket

Features
Read full description

Launch into a galaxy where every trajectory is decided by real gravity. Crazy Rocket is a physics puzzle game: aim your rocket, charge the engine, and let the gravitational pull of planets, massive planets, asteroids, and black holes bend your flight path in real time. Fire the main thruster mid-flight for extra boost, but watch your fuel — every drop counts. HOW TO PLAY - Drag to set your launch angle. - Charge the engine and release to launch. - Hold the screen mid-flight to fire the thruster for an extra push. - Reach the destination planet without crashing into obstacles, falling into a black hole, or drifting off-screen. A CUSTOM PHYSICS ENGINE Every celestial body pulls on your rocket with real Newtonian gravity, simulated at 60 FPS. No two launches feel the same — small changes in angle or power lead to wildly different paths. ORBITAL LEVELS Starting at level 7, some levels drop your rocket already in orbit. You can't change the angle — only engine power and timing matter, testing a completely different kind of precision. ENDLESS, PROCEDURAL LEVELS Every level is generated from a seed, combining planets, massive planets, asteroids, and black holes into new layouts as you progress. There's always another level to master. 3-STAR SCORING - Complete the level. - Reach the destination under the target fuel amount. - Land without ever firing the thruster after launch. Chase all three stars on every level to prove your mastery of orbital mechanics. FREE TO PLAY Crazy Rocket is free with occasional ads between levels. Trajectory prediction is normally a premium feature, but you can unlock it for free anytime by watching a short ad. Go Premium to remove ads, unlock trajectory prediction permanently, and freely pan the camera to scout the whole level before you launch — gameplay and physics stay exactly the same either way. Master gravity. Chart the perfect orbit. Land your rocket. Privacy Policy: https://crazyrocket.pages.dev/privacy Terms of Use: https://crazyrocket.pages.dev/terms

The sky in Skycatching is the real sky above you, right now. It's calculated from 119,625 stars, the planets, the time and where you're standing. Point your phone at the ceiling and the stars are still there, in the right place. Aim at a star and press when the marker hits the zone. That's a catch. Every catch earns fragments. Upgrade your optics and fainter stars get easier. Or build a cannon for the raiders that cross the sky. Every star you catch joins your fleet. Its strength comes from how much light it really gives off, so Deneb beats Sirius. When an intruder takes one of your constellations, pick five stars and win it back. Six final bosses are waiting at the end. Three times a week, a tournament: everyone fights the same boss with the same stars. Break its shield to ready your squad's trick, and climb the Game Center leaderboard. Catch both ends of a line and it lights up. Orion builds itself over a few nights. You can also draw and name your own. Fly to any star. Tap "fly there" and travel to it past the real stars on the way. Up close it has the surface its kind of star has, and the dozen that have actually been imaged, like Betelgeuse, are drawn as they were found. Then see the planets known to go round it, beside our own. Don't want the game? Switch to Sky mode and one press logs a star. Everything you log counts if you start playing later. Works at noon, indoors and under clouds. No account, no ads, nothing to buy. Your location never leaves your phone. Game Center is optional.
