Year 2089. Earth is exhausted, and a small group of explorers lands on Mars with one mission: turn the red planet into a new home.
In Colonia Ares you run the base. Build modules, keep oxygen, water, food and energy flowing, and look after the people who live there: every colonist has a name, a job, a personality and friendships.
• BUILD AND UPGRADE: solar panels, oxygen generators, greenhouses, labs, batteries, reactors… more than twenty modules with three levels each.
• CARE FOR YOUR PEOPLE: colonists get tired, miss Earth, fall ill or argue. If they stay unhappy for too long, they may leave.
• SURVIVE MARS: dust storms, breakdowns, day and night, and tight resources.
• RESEARCH: a technology tree with four branches to unlock new modules and upgrades.
• REQUESTS FROM EARTH: complete timed orders and build streaks to earn more.
• EXPLORE THE SOLAR SYSTEM: build the Ares I ship and send expeditions to Phobos, Deimos, the asteroids, Ceres and Europa.
• TWO COLONIES: found an outpost on Phobos, mine crystals and connect both colonies with cargo routes.
• TRADE: sell your surplus to Earth and buy what Mars can't make.
• TERRAFORM: raise habitability to 100% and watch the planet change colour and fill with life.
• KEEPS GOING WITHOUT YOU: the colony keeps working while the game is closed, and you never lose everything at once.
Pixel art, relaxing music and play at your own pace – in English, Spanish and German.
Ads are always optional: you only watch one if you want help (speed up a build, fix a breakdown…). The one-time "No ads" purchase gives you the same help without watching ads.
Ratings & Reviews
• Rovers: build the rover garage and explore 5 regions of Mars, from Jezero Crater to the Hellas Basin.
• Each region needs a rover upgrade made with metal, crystals from Phobos or components from Earth.
• The signal: find its 8 clues by exploring Mars and space (Deimos, Ceres and Europa).
• Build the deep antenna and discover the end of chapter 2.
• First steps towards playing with a screen reader: alerts are read aloud.
• After updating, the game tells you what's new.
• The "Put to work" button suggests someone with the ideal profession, even if they are working elsewhere.
