If you'd like to try out some of these concepts on your phone, I've been working on a side project -- an iOS mobile game called Solar Express [1]. You can launch a rocket, rendezvous and dock in orbit, transfer between moons and planets, and land. It's a bit like a mini-KSP with real orbital mechanics, but more casual - no rocket building, and lots of delta-V to play with.

"Real orbital mechanics, real 3D simulation, real programmer art, real nerdy"

Made me smile, and made you a sale ;)

Should work for android and iOS

(note: ive only played simplerockets 1, which was 2D, which I think I would prefer on a mobile device)

Sorry, it's iOS only, and likely will be that way forever (unless I'm suddenly blessed with a huge pile of free time again).

I second giving SimpleRockets a try, though.
