What Makes Pet Rock 2 – Planet Simulator Stand Out
Pet Rock 2 makes planetary science beautiful and accessible.
Start with a simple rock in space; end with a completely unique exoplanet. Choose your star type, adjust the parameters of your planet's orbit and chemical makeup, or bombard it with meteorites and see what happens! Watch your planet grow and change–and if the conditions are right, watch as it develops life. Make gas giants with crushing atmospheres and a dozen moons, a tidally-locked ice planet, densely populated terrestrial worlds, and more. It's all up to you!
Features:
— Science!
— Hundreds of different randomly generated planets and planet features
— In-depth planet stats screen for the space buffs
— Rain down comets, meteors, and giant asteroids to give your planet life– and take it away.
— In-game screenshot feature lets you capture breathtaking moments to keep or share
— Slow down time or speed it up to observe your planet's orbit
— Save planets so you can return to your perfect world at any time
This Education game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This game is sooooo fun but at the start its kind of hard.But once you get a hang of it its pretty easy.Amazing game definitely get it.
This game is amazing, just the fact you get to control a planet and terraform is an awesome concept.
This Game is amazing we really love the way you can watch your world change and the different stars its so realistic. Theres only a couple of things that we would suggest and that is that you have a small tutorial explaining how and why things work for younger audiences and people new to the concepts of cosmology the one you have is kind of vague it explains the controls but we feel that it doesnt convey much about the actual science and the other thing we wanted to suggest is maybe perhaps you could have something like a sandbox mode so that we you can make exact replicas of planets or just give them specific attributes we love the game and the concept a lot and the quality is unmatched thank you for putting so much work into this Its so worth the money.
The most realistic-looking planets in any app we've tried. Lets you experiment and craft different worlds every time you play. Ability to save favorite planets is nice. Worked fine on our old iPad 2, no crashes yet.
Literally! A wonderful discovery learning game in which you can find the ingredients to create habitable worlds.
Every time we make a planet and try to make it habitable it gets gassy ;( how could you developer.
Creative and nice game, but there is one problem we cant get past the vegetation part because we dont get how to get vegetation help.
Sometimes it loads to a black screen and not the game.
Just a black screen like what the FLIP Edit: sometimes.
On the last review we sent about this simulating app, we talked about how when we pick the star for our planet the game crashes. Also, make it so that you have an infinite number of spaces for saving your planets.
STILL crashes right after choosing a star type on an iPad2 running iOS 9. Don't waste your time or money.
This is a wonderful ap for kids to approach astro physics through a self directed learning game, we wish all kids could have such games as part of their science curriculum.
