Next Space Rebels

The Developer Says...

SPACE IS FOR EVERYONE. In Next Space Rebels, you will develop from a naive rocket hobbyist into an experienced space activist by designing, building, and launching rockets of increasing complexity.

Players Like...

❤ Rocket Building

Players design and build rockets using a simple, intuitive "whiteboard" interface. They start with basic model rocket kits and gradually unlock more complex and powerful components, such as advanced engines, fuel tanks, and structural elements. The game allows players to express their creativity by connecting and arranging these parts in unique ways. However, the physics simulation is not entirely realistic, as some reviewers note inconsistencies with aspects like rotation and achieving true orbital flight.

❤ Progression and Challenges

As players progress, the game presents them with various challenges and tasks that unlock new rocket parts and increase the complexity limits of their designs. These include reaching specific altitude targets and completing unconventional objectives like attaching rockets to teddy bears. Completing these challenges contributes to the player's growth, transitioning them from a hobbyist rocket builder to an advanced satellite-launching scientist. While some reviewers find certain challenges overly specific or frustrating, they appreciate the sense of advancement this progression system provides.

❤ Simulation vs. Narrative

In addition to the rocket building, the game incorporates a strong narrative and social media simulation element. Players must share recorded videos of their launches on an in-game platform similar to YouTube, complete with comments, subscribers, and monetization. This blending of gameplay and story is viewed as both a strength and a weakness. Some reviewers enjoy the unique approach and the way it intertwines the creative process with the game's underlying themes and messages, while others find the narrative and social media aspects overly intrusive or not as well-executed as the core rocket building mechanics.
