SimpleRockets

SimpleRockets is a simple, two-dimensional simulation that focuses on space exploration. Players' task is to build various types of space constructions - from rockets to space bases. The game was developed and released by Jundroo studio.

Mechanics

The main element of SimpleRockets gameplay is an extensive editor, which allows players to build a variety of structures - from rockets to various types of rovers. For this purpose, a whole range of elements such as engines and fuel tanks, which can be freely combined into unique vehicles, have been handed over to the players.

After construction, the vehicle should be tested by sending it into space. The journey can be made to the largest planets of the Solar System. The success of a flight depends, among other things, on the capacity of the fuel tanks. Adequate machine control is also important. However, these mechanics are simple and based on controlling the power of the engines as well as changing the direction of the rocket's flight using a special wheel.

Exploration isn't just about flying. On individual planets, players can land unhindered and, if successful, move freely on the planets using rovers. In addition, the possibility of constructing a base on the surface of the Moon and space stations has been made available. They are fully interactive and can be docked.

Game modes

SimpleRockets offers single player mode only. One can face the challenges, such as landing on the Moon, or play in the sandbox mode.

Technical aspects

SimpleRockets offers simple two-dimensional visuals. The creators also took care of the most realistic physics. All the relationships between planets and vehicles are based on Kepler's laws, and space itself behaves as it does in reality.
