Launching a rocket is not an easy job. It must be done with perfect accuracy or consequences could be fatal. This requires tons of mathematical calculations... in real life. But in this game, you just need to tap the buttons in the right order and at a good angle so your rocket can be launched into the orbit safely. You can steer the rocket a bit by turning your device to the sides which may save you a few launch attempts. Good launching! ;)

Verdict

The call

Space Rocket Exploration's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (69% vs 56%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rocket Launcher holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Rocket Exploration has 313 ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Rocket Launcher's written reviews are positive against 69% of Space Rocket Exploration's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rocket Launcher ships an update every 7 months, Space Rocket Exploration monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 29, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
