Report an issueBe sure to check our new game, SimplePlanes. Build airplanes and test them with realistic physics and see how they fly. You can find it on the App Store now or check out the website at http://www.SimplePlanes.com
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.

8 of 15Intuitive and a great way to learn the basics of how rockets and orbits work.
This is a great app. My son and I play it together. It’s awesome building rockets and attempting cool stuff.
Super fun sandbox for making rockets. Also explosions
First of all, why is it in portrait mode second, why can you land on the gas giants?!
Can You Delete All Of The “You Failed” Parts In The Fail Messages And Make It So That Wheels Are Allowed For Low Flyer?
It’s fun to mess around with the rocket parts.
Had it fora while, add stuff please
I do like the game, but I think it should be a little easier to use because I have never been able to go past atmosphere. The reason I bought the game is because there is another app similar to it but it won’t let you go past or atmosphere, so I was hoping to be able to fly to other Planets And I do find the tutorials helpful, but where I am visually impaired I am a auditory learner so I have had to bother my mother to get her to help me with the learning part of it. I do wish the app had a narrator to read for you so I would give it a 10 out of 10 with those exceptions but no less than an eight out of 10.
