Interstellar's Surprisingly Good Tie-In App



So Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is coming out in less than two weeks and I'm super-excited. Makes it easier to deal with the fact that No Man's Sky hasn't been released yet. For a little while.

In the meantime, Paramount has released the contractual tie-in game on the Google Play Store and the iTunes store. So what kind of free-to-play iOS/Android schlock game did they release solely to promote a movie?
Surprisingly enjoyable free-to-play iOS/Android schlock, that's what.

It's a tie-in game, but a good tie-in game. Build your own solar system, then explore other people's. Manage fuel levels and plot out a course, making and breaking orbit as you explore the universe for the good of mankind. Not too hard to learn, and the touch controls work pretty well. There aren't enough games out there that try to capture that "astronaut" feel.

Go try it out. Hey, it's free.
