Launchpad

⚡ BUILT BY A TWO-PERSON TEAM // POWERED BY YOUR FEEDBACK ⚡
Kloud Pixel Studios is just me and my wife making games out of pure passion. We release 99% of our games for free so everyone can play. We don't have a big publisher or a massive following yet—which means a single vocal player can literally save a game from never seeing another update and turn it into our daily obsession.

WHAT'S NEW IN V0.9.1 — THE FLIGHT ACADEMY UPDATE

• Flight Academy (Now Voiced & Animated): 36 guided lessons across K–12 tiers (including 2 capstone missions) citing NGSS performance expectations—now opening with full voiceovers, synced captions, and custom animated SVG physics scenes before every briefing.
• Live Watch Targets: Experiment instructions automatically pin up to 3 live telemetry readouts to the active banner, spotlighting key values like orbit low point, power margin, and battery status right in the HUD.
• Teacher Tools: A comprehensive Teacher Panel with presentation mode, local PIN classroom lock, per-lesson threshold overrides, evidence export, a Replay Lab flight recorder, and a complete LESSONS.md curriculum reference.
• A Real Earth & Sky: True coastlines, latitude-accurate spaceports, still air (removing the old 150 m/s crosswind), a single realistic Sun, and fluid water with collapsible parachutes for splashdowns.
• The Whole Solar System: Explore 9 worlds, 25 moons, Ceres, and Halley's Comet, featuring 32 explorable surface landmarks including Tranquility Base, Ares Vallis, and the new interactive Lunar Weighing Station (a 7 m platform scale at the Moon's pole for M-02 Mass vs. Weight).
• Better Building, Flying & Saving: 127 parts with realistic fins and blended hulls, patched conics, Hohmann planner, docking autopilot, customizable UI window layouts, and unified saves with one-click JSON export/import.
