Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive been letting our nieces / nephews play this game on our phone, and even after many, many years, its still a popular favorite. Its even become one of those precious memories that we all refer back to. Love it! Many thanks yet again to the kind souls that made this app.
Our toddler is crazy about rockets and this game fit the bill. We appreciate the parents mode to further simplify it. Great first video game.
Very straightforward 5-and-under type of game.
This is truly one of the best apps for children 2-3 years old. They easily pick it up and enjoy it endlessly.
And we like the artistic look, intuitive play, clean graphics and lack of commercialization. Thank you.
We bought it for our son when he was about 3. He is 5 now and still plays it occasionally. He likes it. Fairly simple gameplay which s not a bad thing, but good animation and overall design.
We love this app. It is a perfect little app for toddlers. Good graphics and easy to use. Our son loves it.
Our so things its the best. He loves collecting all the planets. He is only 2.
Our kids love this game. Nice look and feel.
This is a very cute app… But we were expecting it to do more for the price. Our 3 yr old loves Rockets and most of the games we've found were too advanced for him. This one seemed perfect. He loved it for the first 5 minutes, then had explored all it had to offer and moved on to other games. It's cute and the idea is great- maybe just needs a few more levels to challenge him.
Parents Are idiots ! The app is nicely done great graphics great fun our 2yr old loves it. Plays it everyday. Don't rate the game because your kid lost interest. They are kids. Buy another app.. And another. Thats how it is.
Not too hard for our 4 year old and also not too easy. It's the perfect difficulty to keep him entertained.
It's as if someone forgot to finish the game development. It's so boring our 4 1/2 year old (whom we bought it for) played it a few times and said, "no more!" What a waste of $.
Our almost 4 yo son loves this app. Build an endless amount of rockets and then blast them off. Race them through space to collect planets. Lots of fun! We would LOVE to see more apps from these guys! Thank you.
Our 2 year old, who s very good with the iPad, picked this game up immediately. It doesn't provide the longest playing experience for him but its a cute game.
Looks cool. But is very simple and too repetitive. It has like one screen that plays over and over.
This game is lame. Held our kid's interest for all of a minute. Never again.
Really cute graphics and nice sounds (although we wish it said, "3-2-1 blastoff!" instead of the three beeps). This would be great for a child under 2 or so, and we think our 2.5 year old will enjoy it… But definitely not enough for a child in the 4-6 range. We like the mission and the positive reinforcement. Edit: wow, our 2.5 year old LOVES this, so we added a star back. She is having a blast (!) with it and the repetition actually seems like a comforting plus to her. It's really so cute and great music.
Our daughter likes the drag and drop UI of the rocket assembly. She loves that she can choose different color parts that mix and match. The drop points are soft enough that a toddler doesn't get frustrated needing pixel perfect precision.
