About Dr Rockets
This is a compilation of 3 simple sci-fi themed minigames. Drive a rocket around the universe while traveling in three different planets. Shoot the rocket as far as you can before landing. Guide the rocket through the maze and collect all the stars along the way. Pass through 100 perilous floors.
How to play Dr Rockets
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. Landscape layout: give it the fullscreen button on desktop, or rotate your phone. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.

Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
