Stickin' the Landing

Stickin' the Landing is a puzzle simulation game where you place planet stickers to use gravity to direct your rocket-less spaceship to its destination. Play is a matter of careful placement of the planet stickers to get your ship to slingshot in the right direction without crashing. It stands out for the combination of physics and fun that steadily turns into a considerable challenge.

Team Up With Game World

It's a game about learning how to use the physics of gravity to traverse a series of puzzling levels. You work through an imaginary universe made of the different rooms in your house - kitchen, bathroom and garden. Getting through each one requires you to strategically place stickers in your notebook to get your ship to the destination. You use the different gravitational strengths of the different stickers to guide your ship through the hazards and competing gravitational fields.

As you progress you learn how different sticker placement, and the varying gravitational mass can greatly affect how the ship passes through the level. You can try, fail and try again as often as you like. Every level has a star which you can collect to unlock more levels in each world.

With over 120 handmade levels to take on, it's a game where you are stretched to your limits. But unlike other educational challenges, this is one you learn by doing and seeing the effect of the mathematical rules of gravity on your ship.

Insights to ensure your child's gaming experience remains safe and enjoyable

Set time limits

Set screen time boundaries to get your child moving regularly and to give their eyes a break. Find options available through parental controls available on the console or in-game.

Manage online interactions

Multiplayer games can pose additional contact risks from both people the child knows and doesn't know, commonly in the form of bullying or hate. Talk about what positive behaviour looks like and review in-game settings and console parental controls to keep them safe.

Highlight safety features

For games where your child might interact with others online, make sure you review tools like report and block to help them stay safe.
