Create, explore and endure in the official iOS game of 'Interstellar'
“Interstellar” is not out in theaters for over a month, but its U.S. distributor, Paramount Pictures, has released its official iOS game.
Also called Interstellar, the game offers a simulation of interstellar travel with realistic physics and gravitational fields based on Newtonian principles.
The game lets you create your own solar system with custom planets, stars, and other heavenly bodies. It then lets you pilot the Endurance spaceship across various solar systems by using wormholes and while minding the attendant threats of fuel shortage and proximity to black holes.
