Hmm. I've tried to get out of Mars after reaching it and it's kinda impossible. I'm 2000k above mars and still not in space. Some rocks appeared around 500k and got lost.

A good sequel overall. 2 problems though. 1 is that the gas jugs are much rarer. In the 1st game I could get strings of them, now im lucky to see 1 once a flight. But the 2nd, much bigger problem is the amount of things to crash into. There are way,way,way,wayyyyyyy too many objects flying around. Every couple feet in all directions there's a helicopter or blimp and I'm always either crashing, or wasting my fuel trying to not crash. It's starting to ruin an otherwise great game.

Having beat the game, I'd like to say that there are some thing I absolutely love about this game. The way gravity works in space is great. Instead of constantly being pulled to Earth, you have to worry about the gravity of the various objects you pass. There is no air resistance in space. On Mars, you have both air resistance and gravity, but less of them than on Earth. This is all wonderful. I'd rather you call them 'wormholes' than 'black holes,' as you can pass through them and they are so close together and to the Earth that if they had been black holes, everything would have been destroyed, but that is my biggest complaint with the whole game. Well done.

For those having issues reaching Mars....once you get into the asteroid belt, remember you can turn your engines off...use your main engine like a booster. That should help conserve some fuel and help you avoid some of the asteroids out there. Worked for me.

A possible bug: I didn't get the Space Ace achievement yet (the only one left), but I got the "complete all other achievements" badge and unlock the secret item...

G Raldi, the self-destruct button is very useful at times when you get stuck in space, or just want to finish a mission and get back fast.

I find it quite annoying when I collide with an object my ship gets stuck, begins to rotate around it until it explodes. Generally armor is useless as contact with many objects means instant death.

The achievement for getting all other achievements will count the mission achievement as "complete" if you pay for all the missions. You can then unlock power mode item and just breeze through everything, and officially get the 30 mission achievement.

Nothing says "You owe me money" like Good Year Tire Company sending a blockade of their blimps 10,000 feet over you base

Once you touch an obstacle, you kinda wind up glued to it. So, don't touch anything, ever, or you lose. This makes the game feel an awful lot like Operation. In a bad way.

I like how I'm in space says I'm going 1200 speed due to white star things and bam no achievement....1 star annoying game that doesn't allow buyouts like burrito bison.

Unlocked the achievement that unlocks after unlocking every other achievement without actually unlocking every other achievement. Apparently you unlock that one by just buying everything. I have yet to reach space enough times to get the last achievement for reaching space.

the only thing i would suggest is make the upgrades a bit more reasonable. Im having to pay 15000 dollars to lower air resitance, but i lose manuverability and it's heavier. Make the better upgrades clearly better, without making us cringe at every tradeoff.
Besides this, great game. 5/5

Hard Badge is pretty easy but still fun to get, just take your time and go slow true the asteroid belt and it will be all fine.

Person 1: Launch!!!! Person 2: but there are 2 blimps 5,000 feet directly above the launch zone. Person 1: LAUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!

Inturn: Sir! do you really want to launch the rocket on the same day of an airshow? Scientist: the hell with it!... it's the pilots problem!

The only thing I am really disliking is, that, stuff keeps appearing below me. When I take off, there's not a boost gate. I go straight down, now there's one and I ram into it. . . Besides the crap spawning right below me, this is a very fun game.

bonuses hard to get - bad stuff easy (i wonder if there are this many blimps in the world) - this game would be less boring if the obstacles blew up

Head Researcher: I want you to make a flying waypoint that shoots electricity to make the space ship go faster for a second.
Assistants: Shouldn't we make parachutes for the ship?
Head Researcher: Just make the waypoints indestructible.
