The rocket design interface is simple enough to use, but what’s especially cool is seeing your creations take to the air, superimposed over either a video background or a convincingly fuzzy landscape. Fancy launching a horrifying child’s doll into the lower atmosphere? Next Space Rebels has you covered. On top of that, the more subscribers you get, the more rocket components you unlock, including some wonderfully absurd ones. And, even though they were utterly virtual, seeing my StarTube subscriber count rocket gave me a real buzz. It’s not as wide in scope as, say, Kerbal Space Program, but it’s still a lot of fun, whether your rocket soars or smashes into a wall. “I bet rocket videos get a lot of views,” may be grammatically correct but it’s just a little bit… off.īut once you push through that, Next Space Rebels becomes a compelling rocket-building adventure. However, the comments and messages you receive never quite sound like things a real human being would say. The game presents StarTube as a real video streaming platform, complete with comments and videos from other rocket builders.
Yes, it sounds a little odd and I won’t deny that there are moments when Next Space Rebels had me cringing. As an up-and-coming YouTuber – er, StarTuber – you’re setting out to become the site’s biggest and best rocket builder. Also, it’s called StarTube, which might also have something to do with its space-centrism. Rather, the difference is that, instead of endless vitriolic videos about the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, rocket building is YouTube’s hot button topic. But you needn’t worry, the Nazis haven’t won World War II. Rocket development sim Next Space Rebels takes place in a strange parallel universe.
