Rocket Universe is an idle rocket-building sim where every launch is a test, every failure is data, and every new altitude unlocks the next chapter of your rocketry story.

Start small β€” a simple air-pressure bottle rocket, a stopwatch, and a dream. Then upgrade your workshop, research better fuels, and climb the altitude charts one launch at a time.

πŸ”₯ THE LOOP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. BUILD β€” pick a frame, bolt on parts, choose a fuel.
2. LAUNCH β€” watch it fly. Earn coins based on altitude.
3. UPGRADE β€” research, open containers, star-rank parts.
4. REBORN β€” when altitude plateaus, reset for prestige bonuses.
5. REPEAT β€” with a bigger, better, faster rocket.
