“[h2]The Good[/h2] For a simplified rocket game, it doesn't get much better than this. With only 2 dimensions to master, it's a fantastic first step into orbital mechanics or a way to test the waters before investing in…”
“This game is fun for a little but but gets boring really quick. Getting to each planet is a fun challenge but the planets are just so boring. Gas giants don't have any interesting graphics like clouds or thunderstorms…”

“Its overall mid, i know I tried it for 37 minutes but for the price this game is awful. should be £5 MAXIMUM”
“I would agree the price is somewhat high. But I've found myself really liking this game. There is a beginner friendly normal mode, and a hard and realistic mode, each with their own different learning curves. The…”

“The game is very fun, however there is this glitch where sometimes the game will freeze and I can't click off of it then I have to restart my computer to fix it, then it just happens again. PLEASE FIX THIS IT MAKES IT…”
“Decent game, switched from Phone and it's so much better, but when I quit the game sometimes it will just refuse to close and forced me to make a new window and task manager close it, so it's good besides that.”
“so uuh... 1.6 crashes the game if the window is minimized. I use proton as you can see so you need to use fullscreen. this is basically 2D KSP but it is on the solar system and you dont have infinite customisability”
