Design your own rocket ships. Blast off into space. Explore the solar system. See if you have what it takes to be a rocket scientist.
CREATE
Choose and connect parts together to build rocket ships. You can choose from a variety of rocket engines, fuel tanks, and other gizmos. You can even build rovers with powered wheels. You are only limited by your imagination.
EXPLORE
Blast off from any planet you want. You can fly through the intense atmosphere of Venus, or you can take advantage of the low gravity of Mercury. Whip around the sun and launch yourself out to the far reaches of the solar system.
CHALLENGES
Several challenges are built into the game so you can see who can go the fastest, fly the farthest, orbit with the least amount of fuel, land on the moon, and so much more.
ROCKET SCIENCE
Kepler wrote the equations 400 years ago, and SimpleRockets uses those equations to model extremely realistic orbital physics. Players will learn about rocket science and astrodynamics while they are having a blast exploring the solar system. This makes SimpleRockets ideal for the classroom, or as a healthy alternative to the barrage of brainless games available on the App Store.

Great game, RCS Button bug
WateredMilk
When using RCS thrusters the down button has a 1 second delay to activate from the time you press it. This bug is recent and not just my problem. I’ve used this game on 2 different phones since the bug occurred around a month ago and it’s happened on both phones so it’s not just my phone. My friend quit the game because of this bug, and I’m thinking about doing the same.
Exploits parents

In a deeply cynical attempt to get more $$$ the authors marked this as suitable for 4 year olds. Guess what, geniuses, four year olds can’t read nor do they have the patience for your cheap thoughtless confusing piss poor interface (and just using that word is generous). Congrats on stealing my money and wasting time I could have spent with my kid, jerks!
This is fun but impossible
Sir Gowzer
Ok this is impossible I have deleted this and redownloaded so many times the "orbiting practice is just impossible and HOW DO YOU BUILD A WORKING ROCKET? waste.
Buggy
Solitary Brujo
Mine does lots of weird buggy things. The stages won’t trigger correctly. The same maneuvers under the same conditions will cause different effects randomly. Not much fun under these circumstances. Playing on an IPhone SE.
Rating Nag

Wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t intentionally ignore the user preference where I explicitly declined rating-nags. What do I owe people who thumb their noses at my clearly-indicated preference?
This is a great game!
Seamisian
This is a groundbreaking game that can potentially teach you about rocket science and lets you launch a vast fleet of spaceships to explore the solar system. The best part about it is that it takes up very little storage! I would definitely recommend this masterpiece.
Great but one bug
Legend599
So the game is great but I have a major delay on the lean buttons on the very bottom.
