Imagine the long lost child of KSP and Lunar Lander. With the same amount of chaos, high intensity-high reward, but in a seemingly casual Sunday afternoon relaxed aesthetics. Start with almost nothing. Build the capability to see farther, reach farther, and unlock the next layer of space. Establish observatories, deploy telescopes, and grow your infrastructure to reveal new targets and opportunities and then aim upwards and put your flying skills to the test.

9.8 is a 2D space-agency simulator where a fully physics-driven universe (N-body orbits, atmospheres, heat management, hydrodynamics) makes every small step earned. Build your program from first hops to interplanetary operations through a uniquely designed local star-system cluster.

In 9.8 you will:

  • Fly rockets under simulation-grade constraints: mass, fuel, TWR, heat, staging, aerodynamics.
  • Visit up to 16 celestial bodies: Solara's system offers many challenges for you to put your space-agency and flying skills to the test.
  • Atmospheric flight + re-entry: accounting for heat and trajectories matter.
  • Run your space program: plan missions, manage resources, and upgrades.
  • Explore the Solara system by building infrastructure and discovering all of the secrets that the cosmos hides.

This version is free early tech demo. The game is in active development and will include revamped visuals, an extended star cluster, rocket construction, colony and resource management, and so much more. Here's a few images of what's to come:

New and fun lander game, with a touch of humour. I've had a blast playing so far and the dev is very active with updates!

Thanks Brandon! Let's go! 

This game is so cool , i played for like 2-3 hours and i instantly fell in love ,  that's as cool as KSP .
