SimpleRockets for Android
I used to play this game all of the time, on my older Nexus 7. The game just stops when I try to open it now though. The game would definitely be 5 stars if it worked for my device, the Moto Z Play. EDIT: I restarted my phone, the app works fine now! Really awesome game, like Kerbal Space Program but on mobile and easier to understand.
I'm a Kerbal fan but found myself away from my computer too much to play. This filled the gap nicely. Love that it doesn't need weird permissions and is exactly what it says, a simplified rockets game. I do wish there was something akin to a D-pad control for the actual rocket piece placement though. When you let your finger off the screen parts of a tendency to move a little.
UTTERLY FANTASTIC! (IN ALL CAPS)! Simple Rockets is fantastic two dimensional fun. Building failures can be almost as much fun as things that work. Once you learn the way things work, if you're patient, you can fly to the moon and back. And, like minecraft, you get to do it your way. Then you've got all kinds of other planets to explore. Worth every penny. No ads. No crazy permissions. Responsive, pleasant developer if you take the time to ask a question. Just buy it and have fun.
Dude this is simply the best SIMPLE rocket physics game of all time. It is 100% worth the money, and you will not be unsatisfied. Guaranteed. If you don't like it, just go back to Google Play Store before your time is up and get a refund. But what also sets this game apart is the challenges, skins, and LOADS more to discover! Already bored? Go in sandbox mode and build your dream satellite and dock it with your spaceship to bring it back to Smearth! The possibilites are endless so download this app!
I loves the game. Which is exactly why i want you to pay it some attention! I know this isn't your most popular game, thus it's not making you as much money but still! This game is what started developing your fanbase. If it could get some new parts or multiplayer or something like that in the future You're getting your five stars back from not only me, but everyone else as well.
Great game.. well made.. However.. choice of components are too small.. please add a greater amount of components that can do more things.. some things in mind: *Docker that can attach to the back of the rocket (currently only side works) *As others have suggested.. small CPU unit so that we can control different parts of the rocket when they detach *Greater number of components to do stuff with.. such as more space station parts such as inflatable habitation module.. different sized struts / building parts.. labs.. fuel storage tanks etc.. etc.. *Add purpose to the game after all of the challenges.. *Basically you should take inspiration from KSP.. I think this game works really well on the phone in 2D with this interface.. though it's already great, it has the potential to become something even better! (I, as I'm sure a lot of current users, would pay for an expansion pack!) Please work on this!! Your loyal fan
Ive played this game for a while and it introduced me to rocket science. I now play kerbal space program. But this game is great for testing new designs or get inspiration for ksp. But if there were muenuvers it would make planetary travel alot easier and fuel efficient.
NEED TO BE UPDATED By far my favorite game to date however a few things annoy me. When I use the plug/port to connect to ships I have placed into orbit I want to be able to control there items as well as my own not just fuel transfers. Also it would be nice to allow us, once in orbit and connected to the other ships, to click on each engine to toggle control on and off. I built a massive space station out of rockets but all I can do is move fuel around. Other then that I love the game.
Can you make it more like kerbal space program, meaning there are people that ride the rockets that can get out and walk around? And also MORE PARTS PLEASE! I feel kind of ripped off.
Sure it might not be stupidly customizable like simple planes but if you know the struggle of trying to go as close to the sun as possible but not crash then you are me XD I know this is getting long but to anyone reading this thinking about getting the game please do you won't regret it also shelling out 99 cents for a skin is well worth it well ummmmm I'm going to leave now before this wall of text gets too Wally bye
Overall this game is awesome but its been over a year ever since an update and way to long since a content update. Simple Planes has been more maintained than this game and I would like to see growth in Simple Rockets instead of being ditched for the money. There is a lot of suggestions for this game and I would like to see the come true.
This is an update since the last time I had an Android phone. Since then, I've had an iPhone and was unable to download SimpleRockets on my iPhone. But, recently I got an Android tablet and have since downloaded the game. I have to say I am blown away with the much improved app!
One can you please fix venues because when I go on that planet crashes everytime. Two can we have multiple mods. Please do this, I am not being rude but if you do this I will put 5 stars
I love the game it has great physics and it is simple, but Inwould like to go into landscape mode instead of portrait. It is annoying on a tablet.
Promises to do whatever you want with a large scale of instruments on spaceflight, realistic physics etc. but structural glitches and control problems makes it a disappointment
close to perfection. I'll happily rate 5 stars if we get atmosphere on other planets and atmospheric heat as well as more robust ways of creating rockets with multiple spaceships ( main plus lander for instance )
This is a really good game but for some reason whenever I reset the order of the rockets it messes up the order horribly so I have to try and find everything and put it in the right place
Now this is just a great 2d space sim. Very addicting, very simple, very CHALLENGING. but thats the good part. :3 only problem right now is its hard for me to land XD it's hard to see just exactly where to land cuz zooming way out till you barely see your rocket kinda sucks. Also. Maybe add more parts? I'm not trying to be picky. Itd just be nice.

It doesn't get much better than this. You can MOD or go to the community and download mods and the developer even encourages MODDING to expand the concept of the game. Beautiful all around.
Simple Rockets will keep you playing for DAYS not just hours. When purchasing the game I expected it to last me my flight but, I became hooked on this game! It's crazy addictive and will always have you coming back to play it some more!

As a long time KSP fan, this game is a must have. There are a few areas for improvement, but it is worth much more than what is currently being charged. Things I would like to see added at some point: Delta-V calculator in the build screen, or at least the info needed to calculate dV; bigger controls for RCS; option to lock the camera orientation on the ship so that RCS controls make sense 100% of the time; maneuver nodes; center of mass shown from build screen.

Love this game, wanting more customize options like others have said. Make habitats and such for space stations, probes, more solar options (solar sail?) Also ran into a bug. I made several dockable moon stations (surface level) and several orbiting stations. Problem is if I launch, dock with orbiting stations, then undock from orbit and then try to land and dock with surface base. The ship undocked from orbit can "see" the base on the surface but no collision detection and can't dock. It's like the surface base dock port and structure is a hologram.
I love it so far but for 3 bucks I feel like it's lagging in Items also why does it only grab to One spot my rockets are simple but space station's are crazy and they flip and flop and rip apart please add more station parts and more rocket parts take it one step farther like a nav cpu better control with thrusters more missions
I'd like the game better if the asteroid belt could be added into the game including pluto. If you could maybe there could be different weather patterns and conditions as well as wind speed. One more thing I think I'd be cool if you could put multiple pods on a ship.

Whenever you're trying to snap an object to two or more objects it only connects to one. It makes for a horrific task of trying to make your ships structurally sound. If it weren't for this one major flaw, it would be a spotless game.
Bug fixes are coming more often! Thank you devs. Last bug I see are moons and the comet are glitchy in sandbox. They oscillate rapidly. And the orbits of planets are being cut off at the SOI. Great game. Keep it coming. Would love to see more moons and the ability to select in sandbox.
KSP is a great game on the PC, but it's too slow and complicated for a phone. SimpleRockets makes to eat to design & build your own rocket. Plus since it's 2D only, it's a lot easier to learn.
Just wondering if you can add autopilot for the rockets for easier and more efficent gravity assists... Or just any update gameplay-wise, it's time for updates
I love the game it has great physics and it is simple, but Inwould like to go into landscape mode instead of portrait. It is annoying on a tablet.
It seems like the atmosphere physics are non-exsistant though. There seems to be no drag and in situations where the rocket should clearly burn up just don't happen. Other than that it's a pretty fun game.
I loved this game, however it gets a bit repetitive. I think there should be more parts, customization and maybe more help to get to the outer planets. But brilliant game as it is!
Simply put, the best realistic space travel game on the app store. I would like to recommend a few changes firstly be able to choose your background in space I.e. black, the current one, and a few more pictures of the stars. The other I would like to see would be maybe a crew health bar so you can add a human element to the game. Not that there is any issues with this current version. If you are into space exploration and orbital mechanics GET THIS GAME
I hope you update with more parts and features. A crazy awesome feature you could add is that in sandbox the game can save previous launches that are in orbit. Then use those ships to refuel ships you launch in the future! If you do that I'll donate 20$!!!
I am on Android 6.0.1 on my GS6 Edge and after closing the app and swiping it away from the multitasking menu it continues to run in the background draining battery for hours after until I force close it.
Awesome update with very realistic physics engine. However I would love to create multiple ships to simulate a rocket detaching a probe or a moon landing without the hassle of getting into orbit to connect two seperate ships.

It's a must have app. Has not been updated in a long while. Missions give you want you need to know to play well. WARNING sandbox mode is a time machine. Hours will pass like minutes. Took me a good solid month before I build everything that came to mind. It's overdue for new parts but Simpleplanes filled that want. Soon as additional parts come out another month of life will ge filled up. 100% worth your time.
