What Makes Rover Builder Stand Out
Start a great space adventure with Marvin! Design and build rovers and help Marvin to complete challenging missions on Moon, Mars and other planets. Cross craters, climb over the boulders and collect badges by doing it safely, economically and quickly. Every planet has different kind of conditions and your rover needs to adapt to them. If you've ever dreamed to be a space engineer or rover builder, this is your opportunity!
You can build rovers using aluminum and springs, but keep in mind that quality often means money. You can also use two kind of wheels, motored heavy ones and cheaper light ones without motor. In planet 4 you can also use rockets. There is an unlimited number of ways to tune your rover for the mission.
You can earn 1 to 4 badges per level depending on how well your rover performed. Different badges can be achieved by different rovers in the same level. New planets are unlocked when you have enough badges.
Be a Rover Builder and enjoy your adventure with Marvin!
This Simulation game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We had to rewrite this review because it is soo good! This game deserves more popularity, there are unlimited builds for your rover, so addicting. — This game is a challenging building game, if you want all 4 stars of approval it might take you a while. We've passed the first planet with all stars so far. Have fun! The only thing that needs improvement is; at times when you restart/respawn your rover, sometimes the wheels go right through the terrain and crush the block other than that great game! Also timed multiplayer builds wouldn't hurt.
We love this game and it is our new favorite game! It will make you want to keep playing.
We love the game and have been playing it for a while now, we like to make cool suspension designs because of the good physics and good terrains, but what would make it more fun would be some sort of piston that can move parts on your rover, and example for this could be on a large drop into a small tunnel, the pistons would let you be able to lower you rover to fit in the tunnel. Just an idea that would make the game better.
This game is pretty good if you want some simple physics and building a rover how you want. Its fun playing around and making strange rover designs after getting all the 4 stars for each level. The biggest problem with this game is how much you are able to spend to beat the level Let us explain, on the second planet, first level, you can only spend 400 to make a rover. We have completed the level by ignoring the money limit. But trying to beat the level with only 400 credits is STUPID IMPOSSIBLE. Ive tried countless designs and just cant beat it. With only 1 motor wheel, theres not enough power to go up hills without gaining a LOT of speed or going over a hole the site of the wheel. Basically, most of the levels need the small ugly basic design to beat the level with a STUPID LOW MONEY LIMIT. Other than the money limit being stupid, the game is pretty good. Its good for trying weird, strange, unique and dumb funny designs. Also great for passing time.
This game is an ad-infested blatant copy of the game "rover craft." It provides no intelligent gameplay, no goals or objectives that are clearly stated and feels like it was designed by hackers in the early 90s. UI feels ancient. We could go into its many problems but even reading a review on this game is already wasting your time, so just save the couple minutes it will take you to start detesting the app, and go download rover craft instead.
We hate the game and also its a rip off of rover craft plus its the most boring thing on the face of the AppStore.
