Description

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.

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. :(

Great game with great potential

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

Eriptron ,

Each iPhone issue had a setting for it.

Great detail and so far they have adapted to the iPhone 12 well. Even font size adjustment setting (a little bigger range would be freat)!
