Settle on MARS in a mixture of game and scientific simulation. Take control over a tiny group of 10 settlers and choose a landing site on the barren Mars. Develop your venture from one single landing module into a thriving settlement with hundreds of specialized buildings and even more inhabitants.
Research & development of new technologies as well as exploration of the Red Planet are key for establishing a permanent presence in this hostile environment.
And you are not alone. Other settlements, each one controlled by a real human somewhere on Earth, are starting to grow everywhere and a competition for being the most successful Mars colony has already begun.
Features:
- Scientific orientated building & simulation of a Mars settlement
- Background story in 6 phases with according phase goals
- Mars simulation in 30x real time (even running when app is not active)
- Choosing one of 7 Earth organizations providing (dis-)advantages
- Research & development of 152 individual technologies
- Construction, maintenance & repair of 51 individual building

- Panning & zooming of the Mars surface in high resolution 3D
- 100% usable without Internet connection
- Optional online: ranking list & other settlements on Mars surface
- Unlocking of advanced app functionalities step by step

- This is a peaceful app! NO FIGHTING, NO KILLING, NO WAR!
Unique idea and ui. Quite exciting to see ur colonization developing. Only problem is that all the icons are a little too small and hard to click, and it would be better if you can zoom in to urs or others colony on the map
Great Time Management, Poor OPTIMIZATION!

First I will say the game is good and the prices you pay for the few option is reasonable.I have been playing for 6 plus months and enjoyed the daily activities of managing the settlement.As of now I would not suggest making any ingame purchasing due to the game not being optimized. It's a text based type game with no high demand for graphics yet when I play I get error message that it's low on memory.So recently I purchased a new, best iPad with twice the ram. It's the best you can get yet I'm still getting the memory error. The game either lacks optimization or has a memory leak, I'm not sure. Either way once you spend much time, advance, maybe spend money on purchases you will find yourself not being able to play even with best tablet or phone.So play free and don't spend money. I'm all done due to my new iPad can no longer support this app. Please fix memory issues.
Great Potential, but…

The fact you get nonstop increases in colonists with no way to reject them and it feels impossible to actually stay ahead of habitat needs cause you run out of construction supplies constantly is frustrating. I’ve tried 3 different runs and they all end in failure cause I can’t build faster than the colonist population increases. I think with the ability to stop them from coming and get extra supplies as a result would be nice.
App crashes if your colony gets too big

Loved playing this game, but eventually my colony got too large causing the app to crash crash while loading - on launch I get the “loading height maps…” progress bar, and when it gets to 100% the app just crashes. Repeated attempts produce identical results. I haven’t been able to figure out a way to recover it. Devs need to fix this or all my buildings will deteriorate and my colonists will die. :(

• Background sound plays again.
• Clearer feedback when claiming or linking an account.
• Opening Settings, Ranking, Hints, and the Game Log is more stable.
• General reliability improvements for online play.
