Rocket Robin

Britain's oddball Robin Reliant gets strapped to a shuttle for a shot above Earth in Rocket Robin. The mission runs through a full flight sequence. Lift off from the pad, climb higher, drop spent hardware, then guide the craft back down for touchdown. A clean run puts a NASA spot on the line. Orbit is the target, nodding to the original TV stunt with a machine that was never meant to go this far.

How to play?

Fire the left and right boosters with the arrow keys to steer the shuttle during ascent. Press Space to jettison the booster rockets before heat builds up. The main engine continues the climb after separation. Cut it loose at the right moment to gain more altitude. Distance from Earth sets the result, and the descent still has to end with a safe landing.
