Good, but don’t buy nooleus pack
Mon Jan 11 2021 BlueboogeyThis is a VERY good game, and well made, although I would not recommend buying the nooleus pack, it is not worth $4, it needs a big buff in order to be worth buying. Also I noticed a bug with the nooleus stage one rocket where when transitioning into the landing phase, the outside boosters sometimes glitch and stay on. Also, the solar panels in the pack are kinda pointless since it is hard to actually attach them to a space station, and once you do, you can’t access the crew capsule. Hopefully these issues can be fixed. Other than that it’s a great game, just I don’t thing the nooleus pack is worth buying at the moment. Instead I would recommend paying a dollar more to unlock all standard parts.
Childhood memories
Mon Dec 09 2019 BigAntNate6 years ago, I bought this game for my 11th birthday. I was fascinated by what the game had to offer. I would play it for hours and would secretly play it late at night past my curfew just trying to build a space station above Mars. I don’t know any other game that would let you do that, especially the game being on mobile. I stopped playing the game because my attention span wasn’t all too great. I would download the game again after a few years and was surprised that the game had 2-3 new updates and my inner child spark back to life. I would play with the new features and the nostalgia came back. The features were great and I had no bad experience with them ;however, the features were few and didn’t add that much gameplay from what it already was. I felt disappointed that even after a few years, the game didn’t get many updates. I kept the game on my phone hoping for a new update to come. It took awhile but the update that included new space station parts and more rockets had me giggling with joy and excitement that now I have new opportunities to build whatever I can think of. That was a year ago. I’m still waiting for new updates to come out but I fully understand that the developer is doing this all by himself and that game developing is a hard process. I’m going to college in a few months and I’m still hopeful for anything new that will come to this beautiful game
Best $2 I have ever spent in my life!
Fri Oct 26 2018 Jean-Marc "JM" AlexanderI have had this game for about a year now, and I am still having fun playing! I do not think it is a exaggeration to say (in my opinion) this is THE best space app on the mobile store. I know it gets flack for the in-apps, but as a fellow developer, I know that the in-apps are necessary to provide continual longevity and funding for a project. If my two dollars and all the more I have spent on in-apps go to adding more features to this amazing game, all the better. I don’t write reviews on the App Store often, and this is my first of the year, but I felt like after all the positivity and happiness I have inherited through Space Agency, I owed it to the developer to say: “thanks, your doing the right thing!” This game is flawless, and I look forward to seeing how it evolves in the future! Thanks for the countless hours of fun, -JM
Love it! Binged it! But...
Sat Oct 06 2018 Hopeful StarmanFirst of all, I really enjoyed this game. There’s so many different levels that all have their touch of a challenge and it’s so much fun designing your own rockets and space stations in sandbox mode. However I was slightly disappointed by (!Spoiler Alert!) the fact that there was no mission to reenter the Space shuttle. In the mission there was a hint that the shuttle would fly back to earth: “Hopefully the heat shield can be repaired at the station and the shuttle can be returned to HOM in a future mission”. I was looking forward to this mission so much, that it was really sad when I finished all the career missions. Another mission to do this is all I’m asking, at best I would looove the opportunity to even build the shuttle rocket and fly it to space, including the ability to open the cargo bay and deploy some object. That would be phenomenal!
Don’t listen to those 1 star bullies
Mon Dec 03 2018 ArimikoyaThis is the best space game that I have ever played and is really fun. For those people that want a simpler space game than SimpleRockets. This game makes you work for all the sandbox parts so that you feel accomplished and when you use the better ones you like your space station better. I’ve worked through all the missions and enjoyed them cuz their fun. I also have a 40 part space station and a 20 part station I built all by myself. I think that the people that wrote negative comments to promote SimpleRockets were one person paid by SimpleRockets to crush this game’s reputation. I really hope that the developer reads his comments so that he knows there is at least one person that enjoys his game and that he comes out with more amazing updates. P.S. I think you should add astronauts.
Totally worth the money for space enthusiasts
Fri Oct 20 2017 dabrain13I saw the featured review on the App Store complaining about it “not being worth two dollars” and knew I had to say something. This is an excellent game. It’s fair, challenging, entertaining, and for two dollars, quite lengthy. With the number of terrible free to play games increasing every day, I’m more than willing to shell out $2 to have a game that works and doesn’t have any of those absurd ads.
Sure it’s no KSP but it doesn’t need to be! It’s a phone/tablet game! This is by far the best space game I’ve been able to find the in the App Store. The graphics are both semi-realistic and fun and the mixture of missions is quite entertaining.
Free to play might be becoming the new thing, but I’m more than willing to support a solid game for two bucks. Nooleus, keep doing what you’re doing!
So much fun
Thu Mar 07 2019 DeBellMIt really is. I’m only 14 missions in, but I’m going to try to do them all (39?). I played some KSP and it was too intricate for me. This is the right level of space-micromanagement, construction, and physics for me. The $2 price tag is a joke; this should be a $10 game at least. I’d have paid $20 if I knew I was going to enjoy it as much as I have. My one complaint is that all the missions have bronze, silver, and gold levels of achievement, depending on how much money you spend, how long it takes you to complete your mission, and if you use the optional save checkpoint feature. It’s SUPER hard to get some golds, but incredibly easy to get others. The completionist in me wants to gold them all, but eventually, I think I’ll have to settle for silver for many of them... Excellent game, devs! Thank you for making it.
Everything in game can be unlocked for free
Wed Feb 28 2018 lancer128Price: Fair to Good.
The content you get for what you pay for is really good! Few parts at the start, but EVERYTHING can be unlocked for free.
Micro transactions: Fair
There are micro transactions for various things like early unlocking of parts, skipping missions, hints, etc... But NONE of it is necessary if you simply complete missions. (And you only have to one star a mission to unlock it’s parts!)
Graphics: Good
Smooth gameplay, a solar system to explore, and each rocket piece is detailed in its own way. This game is pretty to look at and smooth to run so you don’t experience lag when docking a part or a system crash when you complete a large space station!
Sound: Fair
To be honest the sound is neither bad nor very good, but the ambient background track in space is not annoying and somewhat pleasing to listen to.
Replay-ability: Very Good
You will continue to launch rockets again, and again, and again, and... You will challenge yourself in the sandbox to build bigger space stations and even orbital ship yards if you choose. You will explore planets, land lunar landers, launch probes, and try to do even better in the mission part of the game!
An enjoyable game
Fri Nov 30 2018 chrisw300I have had this game for well over a year now and I still find it very enjoyable even though it has some in-app things to buy, it’s not needed to play at all. I bought my upgrades gladly since I do like playing it and I wanted to support it. The one thing that I am a bit surprised it does not have and I hope is put in the future is a launchable space shuttle with space in the cargo hold to hold at least 2 station parts and a usable robotic arm. And to be able to land and launch it again would just be to cool!!! It would also be so cool to be able to install a movable robotic arm for the station you build so you can more easily move station components! How awesome would that be? Again thank you for a fun game
Brilliant
Wed Jul 25 2018 G3TSUMLet me start of by saying that the orbital mechanics are not complicated and continue by saying that is awesome. I don’t want to launch a Saturn V for instance and then spend six thousand years obsessing over my lunar injection burns. It is challenging (especially later on in career mode when you’re keeping track of numerous craft over huge distances) and fun. I’d love to see the shuttle but you’ve already been over that. The new ion engines are exactly what they need to be and totally worth the wait. I would love to see on the seismometer experiment that if you put a survey sat in orbit where it is it would upload data and maybe a few other types of probes/landers it the old voyagers. Totally worth the price for the amount of content and gameplay. Keep it up.
