Kerbal Space Program-like SimpleRockets brings space flight to mobile devices

Rocket science isn’t just for NASA and Elon Musk anymore. Indie hit Kerbal Space Program brought the concept of building space-worthy vehicles to the masses when it first released for PC in 2011. Now, inspired by KSP, developer Jundroo’s SimpleRockets is bringing rocket-science gameplay to mobile devices.

SimpleRockets is a 2D space-flight simulation that has players designing and flying their own spaceships. Challenges push players to get into orbit around planets and moons or to land on different worlds. It also has a sandbox mode where players can decide to do whatever they would like. SimpleRockets takes place in a solar system that is 10 percent the size of our own and features celestial bodies like Smearth, Smuranus, and Smars.
