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

Read full description

The booster is falling and the tanks are nearly empty. Below you: a concrete pad, a deck riding a swell, or a tower with its arms open. You fly with one finger. Hold to burn, slide while holding to steer. Let go and you drop. Burn early and you run dry; burn late and you are a fireball. The gap between them is about twenty seconds. Sixty handmade landings across six ranges. Coastal concrete, an open-water drone ship, night fog, the tower catch, a range where things break, and finally the Moon and Mars. Each range teaches one thing and then tests it. Every death is yours. The wind arrow shows one second ahead. Every failure is announced two seconds before it happens. Fog takes your view but never the radar strip. When you crash, the panel tells you which number did it — "you came in too fast", "too much sideways speed" — and Retry is one touch away. The Daily Landing. One landing a day, the same one for everyone, generated from the date. No server, no account, no queue. Three difficulties, three stars. Stars unlock eight paints. The third star sits just above what a good autopilot averages: reachable, never a gift. • Completely offline — works in airplane mode • No ads, no data collection, no account • Turkish and English • Every gauge is a number, an arrow and a colour — never colour alone • Tilt control optional; screen shake and haptics can be switched off • Ghosts: race your own best landing A fictional space programme and an unnamed coastal range. No real rocket, company or logo appears: the mechanic belongs to everyone, the brand to no one.
