Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The game itself is beautiful! We just wish it were better adjusted for the iPhone X screen.
Hello! We love this game a ton but we cannot play it on our new phone because the game is cut off due to the newer iPhones having the smaller screens. Please update this game! Thank you.
Ok, so we have reached space and we were very happy. The thing is that its so hard to reach space without buttering up. We have buttered up though, but many people havent. The thing thats most important in this game are the research paths. They help you in game most of all, but the problem is if your not buttered up you barely get any research paths so for other people who have NOT buttered up then you really should. However, we hope Butterscotch adds more research paths for you guys. Anyway, Good luck reaching Space.
This has to be the best game there is.it we. Sssssssssooooooooo fun to play.
Another great game from these amazing human beings. Thank you for everything you do, your games and/or podcast bring us joy and inspiration literally every day. You guys rock.
Amazing game, no complaints. Except… We have an XS so it cuts off multiple things. Still very playable but please update.
It is a great game made by one of our favorite companies but we wish you didn't have to have fuel or you have to spend 3 bucks to get key upgrades.
Pls fix the zoom issue the game is zoomed in iPhone 11 Pro.
Resolution is no good on iPhoneX. You cant see the fuel pads because the top and bottom of screen is hidden due to game Rez auto filling the screen. Pls fix.
We love this game, Ive been playing off and on for years but unfortunately upgrading to an iPhone X means we cant play it anymore. The game is zoomed in on the X and cuts off the edges of the game. If you dont have an iPhone X then by all means its incredible but if youre running the X you probably wont be able to play it without some extra difficulty. If they ever fix it Ill change our review to the easiest 5-star but we have to rate the game as is and its unfortunately all but unplayable at the moment.
Cant seem to stop playing. Always looking forward to our next ship upgrade :).
Theres a bug when we tap the restore purchases and it dose not work for butterup please read this is important.
What most endless runners lack is a purpose and an end goal. Having that constant hope of reaching the space destination keeps the gameplay riveting. If You are new to Butterscotch Shenanigans we would also recommend Crashlands. It is worth the money.
Excellent game from an excellent team of developers.
Just like every BScotch game, Flop Rocket is full of fun, rewarding gameplay coupled with detailed, smooth graphics and a cool atmosphere.
BEST GAME EVER. Unless you don't like fun things.
This is our favorite game on the AppStore.
Enjoying it so far like the control system, the story is funny.
This is a great time killer thanks for this game plus it's not to hard but it's hard enough to keep you playing and we've never got mad when we deid like on geometry dash so thanks.
We love the music, the controls, and the random missions which help it to stay feeling fresh. Highly recommend. Keep up the good work.
Visual aspects on point awesome controls just an awesome game overall.
Another amazing game from bs you should also check out Crashlands.
It's an excellent little game, has a bit of a learning curve, but after that is very entertaining.
Love playing this game to pass time.
Still great a couple of years after release. Great devs.
This is honestly a great game and we look forward to seeing all that this team of brothers will come up with. Definitely worth the download and the BUTTERUP.
This game is a AMAZING game. It is addictive, fun, and a great time killer! Only one suggestion we bought the butter up purchase but now we got it on our phone. Maybe make the special butter up upgrades able to buy with coins in the game. But make them a ton of coins.
What a great idea to start the launch pad in a cave! This game is awesome and is very challenging and it's free and free is always good. If u are thinking of buying this game u really should. Ohh and the soundtrack is awesome.
Great game! Pay once to unlock full game, no micro transactions from what we can tell! Free version isn't bad but the full game is worth it.
We love the simplicity and challenge, this gane is very fun and the intro is hilarious.
Insanely addicting and incredibly fun game. Just pure fun.
Adorable game and amazing studio. Would recommend for anyone.
This game is a lot of fun despite its semi-frustrating beginning. Give it a shot.
More fun and excitement than anticipated.
The difficulty curve is nuts, but that's what makes this game so rewarding and replay-able. Whether your trying to fill 2 minutes or 2 hours, this intense skill game will fill the void.
We love this game it is our favorite game but there is a bug where the screen won't let us tap on it and we die because of that so if you could fix that that would be awesome also if you could add some customizations to your rocket like color and other things.
Butterscotch Shenanigans makes absolutely amazing games.
Super fun. If you are looking for a fun game to play for free, this is the game for you.
Super fun game! We just wish the upgrades had a little more explanation to them so we could see what we want to upgrade first.
There are many games with awkward controls you cannot get used too. We found you have to get used to the controls, but you can and in a smooth way, which just makes the game more enjoyable.
We got all the BS games at once, or rather, we got Crashlands and a few days later got all the rest. They've all got a "one more try" quality that makes them hard to put down, and Flop Rocket is no exception.
We're not good at this game. Not at all. But it doesn't stop us from trying.
This was our gateway game to the BS studio. We really enjoyed the simple challenge of the game. The controls take a moment to figure out but feel intuitive once you figure it out. As for game mechanics, it's pretty simple in the best way possible. Fly through the cavern and dodge everything. For a free game this is worth time spent on it.
At first it was like whoa and then we were yooo and then it got better and we recommend this game if ya like gettin sucked into a game for a couple days and then having to explain to ur 'rents why u were eating ham outta the package in the bathroom with the lights off… Maybe not exactly that but yeah its pretty awesome so 5/5 tara agree would eat here again.
This game is challenging & frustrating at times, but at least there's an upgrade system. We will eventually beat it! (Hopefully).
This game is like flappy bird on roids. More fun than a barrel of butter.
Great game, nothing wrong with pretty much anything. But, WHY do the ship bounce so much when you hit anything? The bounce is unreal! We can hit something, barely even tap it, and one chunk of armor is gone. Then it flings us away into another thing. We can't control it. Another chunk of armor gone. Then if you get unlucky, it flings you to the roof, and when you hit that, you cannot stop the ship from bouncing onto the ground. It's ridiculously fast, too much. Annoying game mechanic, please fix.
Overall great game, but we really wish the "Butter Up" wasn't 2.99.
Its a little hard at first to get used to, but its very fun and addicting.
Thanks for making awesome games! Keep up the amazing work.
