Great game. I know some might be mad of the paywall, but honestly in my opinion the parts that are only available is enough yet will still give you the idea that you need to be resourceful
★★★★☆Paelan Paelan· Jun 22, 2026
Overall this game is sooo good, except for the next 1.0.0 version, it's kinda... uhh... IDK, it's like sfs 2 but more goofy, so I still prefer the 0.8.9 version, 0.8.9 version for me is absolutely PERFECTION, so i stil prefer this version than 1.0.0

Good game but its kinda unplayable at crucial times. There I was just about to enter phobos sphere of gravity and for some random reason my rocket will teleport me to inside Mars for about 5 seconds, then il spawn back to phobos sphere of gravity for 5 seconds. Then Teleport back to Mars. Stuck in an endless loop of teleporting rocketry that actually entirely ruins the missions

I used to like the game until you went and ruined it! I can't go to Mars I can't go to Venus I can't go anywhere but the moon!!!!! And there's barely any parts I can use! Unless you do something about it, I'm gone!!!!!!!!!!

It's just too laggy man, can't even play it on my 160 fps phone it just goes down to 2 fps, I wish a dev would reach out to me and fix it 😔 (in beta testing btw)

This game was fun now you released this new update it looks stupid it deleted all my progress and all my rockets plus you basically made it worse I mean it was so realistic now it looks like the free no internet games that look like trash and aren't fun I mean I have had this game for several months and as a mobile player this just looks like trash you turn a realistic fun game into a trashy weird looking game that acts like one of those stupid no internet games that you have to watch ads alot
