On an iPad, it’s very hard to hit the left/center/right targets accurately. I got some successful landings, but there was a lot of, “No I said center, not left… no, center, not right… ah crap!” If there were keyboard controls, that would help, I think.

There are! You can use the arrow keys. It should work even when there’s touch support. I’ve also thought about moving the boosters all to one side.

Oh, great! Thank you! I must have missed that in the instructions.

Fun game! After climbing to 1 million feet, it took over 500,000 more to finally reverse direction with the ship pointed down and the engines firing.

Wow, I need to make a new crash blurb

If you really want to, you should add achievements.
