HOW TO PLAY
🦖 Zilla's guide for NZSA pilots
🔧
1. Build your rocketTap parts from the left list. Capsule and parachute at the top, fuel tanks in the middle, engines at the bottom. Tap a part on your rocket to move or remove it. Watch the coloured bar — it tells you how far your rocket can go!
🎨
2. Paint itColours, patterns, decals and flame colours on the right. Every great rocket looks great.
🦖
3. Answer Zilla's questionMission Control asks one brain-teaser before every launch. Get it wrong? You get a new one. Three wrong in a row and your rocket goes back to the workshop — rebuild and try again!
🚀
4. Fly!Slide the THROTTLE up to burn. Use the round arrows to tilt. STAGE drops empty tanks so you go faster. CHUTE pops the parachute — but only where there's air!
🌎
5. Reach orbitClimb high, then tilt sideways and keep burning until you're going so fast you never fall down. Open the MAP 🗺 to see your path around the Earth.

6. Visit other worldsIn map view, burn until your dotted line reaches the Moon, Mars or ringed Zaturn, then use warp ◂▸ to skip the long cruise. Rumour says something lumpy is hiding out there too…
🧮
7. Land gentlyTouch down slower than 8 m/s — or 14 with landing legs. No air on the Moon means no parachute: point your engine down and brake! Earn badges on the Mission Board 🏆.
