Cada duelo el mismo tema, la física está perfecta y el tutorial abandona a la gente, ya ni me sorprende.

Why does a rocket sim (barely a niche one) sit above so many bigger games?

Yo lo probé hace un par de años, en una temporada bastante gris, y esas mismas horas perdidas en el lanzamiento son las que más recuerdo ahora.

my roommate spent a whole semester failing to land on the mun, still not sure why she kept going back
TurboBard95
Why would she keep going back if the failure itself wasn't part of the fun? That's basically the whole loop working as intended.

Elle est où la vraie limite entre échantillon petit et jeu de niche, au fond ?

Yo también fallé mil veces en llegar a la Mun, ese verano entero.

I keep seeing people call this a top-tier sim, but a 72% win rate over 113 duels against random opponents doesn't mean it deserves this spot, it just means it rarely faces its real competition.

Building rockets feels amazing, losing three hours to a launchpad explosion doesn't
