4. Launch – Space is hard
In this game, you have to launch a finicky rocket and get as high as humanly possible. The trick is getting the rocket to go straight up, which sounds easy, but it’s not. It’s really hard to get the rocket to stay pointing in one direction. Just tap left or right screen half to even it out and get as high as possible.
