Have A Safe Flight. You're Making History!
■ Coming soon: Mission extensions, new spaceships by award-winning Japanese animator Gaku Kinoshita (www.gaku-kinoshita.com) and sounds by pop duo Lullatone (www.lullatone.com).
■ Facebook: Follow us at https://www.facebook.com/petitrocket and post your Mars landing pictures to your timelines.
Videos: We want to see them! Post videos of yourself or your kids flying to Mars!
■ Devices: Sorry, only iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S can fly to Mars. The iPhone 4, and earlier devices have not been space tested.
■ For Mission Control (and Parents)
- Turn up the volume to enjoy the soundtrack!
- PetitRocket is made for kids who are used to holding an iPhone. Just like a real rocket, make sure they hold on tight! If you have a small baby, make it fly for them and they’ll be amazed.
- PetitRocket is designed to get kids up and moving. Encourage them to run around with the rocket but steer clear of asteroids and hard obstacles/tables.
- This rocket flies fast! Your little astronaut will arrive on Mars in about 30 seconds, perfect for small groups and parties.
- PetitRocket does not uses any word-based interface/buttons, so even the youngest kids can play with it. If they don’t know how to take a photo on the iPhone, help them through that part the first time around.
- Once on Mars, the first time you tap on the rover, we'll ask you for access to your iPhone’s Camera Roll in order to save a celebratory picture of the landing. Later, why not share the great landing on Facebook or Twitter?
- PetitRocket doesn't ask you for any in-app purchases.
■ Known issues: Please update to the latest iOS version 6.1.4 before installing on your iPhone. Version 6.1.3 has a bug showing a blank screen when landing on Mars.
