Since the PC release last October, engineers from developer <\/span>Polar Motion<\/span> have not been sitting on their hands. <\/span>A MAC version, community contest, and several updates have transformed the fragile spaceship into a powerful rocket able to reach the stars.<\/span><\/strong> But exploration is the driving force of the team and they\u2019ve just set up a booster <\/strong><\/span>that will let them land on a brand new platform: the iPad<\/strong>.<\/span> Utilizing all of the knowledge developed during these months, this adaptation includes the <\/span>very latest 1.4.0 update<\/span> \u2013 released last week \u2013 for a safe and comfortable first space walk on tablet.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of the elements that seduced PC players have been implemented in this adaptation<\/strong>.<\/span> 3 types of campaigns including the Race to the Moon between the US and the USSR, a sandbox mode, historical and what-if space programs, and realistic management tools come together for a nerve-racking and inspiring experience as the head of a space agency. Allocating funds to programs could look simple on paper, but players will have to make sure that there is not a single dollar wasted in their global space supremacy plan. <\/span><\/p>\n

Risk-takers will set foot on the Moon first. Fool-hardy players though, will see their spaceship exploding before reaching our satellite<\/span>\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today iPad owners can also participate in this thrilling yet dangerous adventure<\/span>. <\/span>Polar Motion<\/span> have worked on the controls and the optimization to ensure this platform is perfectly adapted to this space odyssey.<\/span><\/p>\n
