About the Game
This is the third game in the Learn to Fly series, taking place after the events of Learn to Fly 2. It has been released online, as has the mobile version. Both games have codes for each other.
Plot
We start out at our mascot's house where he's reading e-mails when he comes upon an e-mail insulting him for being able to fly but not to space. Enraged, he punches his monitor's screen and takes off out of his house.
We next go to the Penguin NASA building where various classes are being taught. After a dummy is launched and falls on a tower of penguins, our mascot is doing a lab experiment when a professor comes up and shows him a plan telling him how to launch to the moon properly. Our mascot quickly exits the building and begins figuring out ways to launch his way to the moon. After a series of equipment upgrades, he eventually manages to do so.
A different cutscene which also takes place in space can be triggered where the penguin is travelling through space at such high speed he breaks the moon into pieces upon impact. The "Moon Breaker" achievement is earned the first time this cutscene is triggered.
