Cons
Con After supporting the developer in the begining, promises for a lifetime access were broken
Back when the developer made this to support his model rocket hobby, I paid for this and emailed and was assured that I've paid for all updates forever and will get them for free.
He was nice and helped when an update made me lose my copy. He saw I paid so he just gave me another by a code.
Now he will not communicate, he removed all his original text of what you get. Many more people were brought on to help build the game, and they seem to have taken all the good things I once had with the developer and made me feel like I am talking to EA. The founders update did not even include me as having paid and no one would address this. I paid and then talked to someone who never got back to me. I paid again and then paid to unlock all the extras and then MORE IAP??? He said this would never happen. He hated them like all of us.
He and the fans of when I first paid made jokes that if EA owned this then you would have to pay for each stage.
Seems this app is moving to an EA way of pushing away users who were the true founders and acting like that never happened.
I will never support this developer again.
Also the people working on the game seem to have a love/hate relationship with the developer. They post his party life and where he puts all the money after he got too big to remember us, who he would listen to and talk with to make this game have a base and good start.
He still has not returned the electrics to the game it had and messed up all the builds that needed them. I now am way more happy with Simple rockets and all from that developer.
Con Beginning of game is more exciting than the last two parts
The game is broken up into three phases with the first being the most exciting. This makes for unbalanced gameplay in that the other two sections feel a bit dull.
