❤ Detailed Rocket Design and Realistic Physics

Players can build their own rockets from a wide variety of accurately-modeled parts, including fuel tanks, engines, aerodynamic fairings, and capsules. The game realistically simulates the technical specifications of these components, such as thrust, fuel consumption, and weight, which affects the rockets' performance and behavior. Carefully designing the rockets, considering factors like aerodynamics and engine power, is crucial for successfully launching and completing missions.

❤ Challenging Interplanetary Exploration

The game's solar system includes several planets and moons, each with unique gravitational forces, atmospheric conditions, and terrain. Players can attempt to land their rockets on destinations like the Moon, Mars, and the moons of Jupiter, which requires skillful piloting, trajectory planning, and resource management. Performing maneuvers like slingshots around planets and managing fuel are necessary for reaching and landing on these distant bodies.

❤ Persistent, Customizable Sandbox

Players can build a persistent game world, constructing space stations, deploying satellites and probes, and establishing bases on other planets. They can also customize the appearance of their rockets by applying different skins and designs. This encourages an emergent, sandbox-style gameplay where players can pursue their own ambitions and goals within the game's spacefaring framework.

❤ Accessible and Community-Driven

While the game aims for a realistic simulation experience, the 2D presentation and simplified controls make the basics of rocket building and launching accessible to a wider audience. However, the game still presents a significant challenge in successfully landing and maneuvering spacecraft, rewarding players who master the mechanics. The game also includes mod support, allowing players to download and install custom content created by the active community, further expanding the possibilities for gameplay.
