Build it
Snap capsules, tanks, decouplers and engines together in a side-view builder. Every part has mass, fuel and thrust, and the numbers tell you whether it will make orbit.
A 2D space sim for Android
Duct Tape Rockets
Build rockets from scrap. Fly real orbits.
Stack capsules, tanks and engines, light it up, and find out whether it holds together. Then reach orbit, put satellites to work, dock a station and land on the Moon.

What you do
Fly it
Real orbital mechanics: gravity, apoapsis, periapsis and transfer windows, with time warp for the long coasts between burns.
Put it to work
Satellites and stations have jobs. Relays extend how far you can fly, and docked tanks become fuel depots in orbit.
Land it
Parachutes, heat shields and landing legs for the Moon and Mars, if you brought enough fuel to get back.
Some of the parts
Every part is game art from the builder, drawn side-on so it stacks.

Where it's at
Duct Tape Rockets is in early development at Space Junk Industries. The orbital maths runs, the first parts are drawn, and the flight prototype comes next. A Google Play listing and test builds will follow.
