About the Game

Order some parts online, get your camera, and grow your StarTube channel through rocket tinkering and often wacky challenges! With great fame comes great responsibility, and a sudden wrench in your path to greatness will take you on a journey towards space.

The mysterious Next Space Rebels know that those who control the satellites now control the future of the internet. Will you join them in their race to internet freedom?

Next Space Rebels enables the joy of creation, lessons of failure, and progress of experimentation, generally reserved for complex sim games, through its accessible “notepad-style” creation tools and intertwined narrative.

Key Features:

  • BUILD A ROCKET - Powerful yet easy-to-use rocket creation tools that will let any budding rocketeer express their full creative potential.



  • COLLECT NEW PARTS - Earn and gather new parts by completing challenges to grow from a hobbyist rocket builder to an advanced satellite-launching rocket scientist.



  • GROW YOUR FOLLOWING - Grow your online StarTube channel! Share your recorded creations in-game to grow your channel, then export them to share in real life.



  • JOIN THE NEXT SPACE REBELS - Fully live-action cutscenes! Meet an extensive cast of extravagant internet characters on your journey towards becoming a Next Space Rebel.



  • CREATIVE FREEDOM - Creative Mode (unlocked after story completion) to create the Frankensteinian rocket of your dreams!
