Cool Simulation
Warning: the learning curve is a little steep, but you'll find this challenging and fun. Go manual to really experience this game. You'll crash a lot until you get the hang of it.
Developers: I'm looking forward to some updates. Some sound would be nice. Nothing over the top, maybe some nice engine rumble and maybe instrument noises. Also, how about an external view? Keep working on it :)
Challenging
Not quite what I expected, as it's not a game with objectives or anything. The enjoyment comes from mastering the controls, and you have to make your own fun. That said, it's very satisfying. The learning curve is pretty steep, but there's various degrees of autopilot to help you out. It will be a while before you can land safely unassisted.
Graphics are very nice. Some stars or Earth / sun visible in the distance would be a nice touch.
Also, an option to return to orbit after you've crashed (which happens a lot for me) would be helpful.
