| 2025-01-20 |  | | It can lag a bit but the graphics are customizable making it less laggy. I especially enjoyed it because you can't just get past the first part and afk it. You have to be present or you lose. It differs in that from regular games. And you don't have to pay to win. There's no outside ads. |
| 2025-01-01 |  | | TERRAGREED. The frequency of ad interruptions is absolutely ridiculous and the fee for eliminating them is absurd, $300 a year. Instead of a strategy game you hustle to try to get things configured before another ad, making the game nearly unplayable & infuriating. Instead of brief ads they're loooong, some send you to websites, or click to continue the ad which forces you to watch. Calling them "Incoming Transmmisions" doesn't work, ads ads ads. There is such a thing as reasonable balance. |
| 2024-12-06 |  | | Nicely done! Highly realistic, I already have clouds on Mars with a small amount of liquid water. My only concern is the amount of paid content, but I can unlock all of it in 1 or 2 payments (I hope.) I'm trying to unlock Venus, this will pose a unique challenge! Maybe add the Martian Moons in a future update? Also it would be nice if construction would continue while the game is pause. |
| 2024-10-23 |  | | Amazing game. Very realistic. In fact, the highest difficulty level is so realistic that things break and get downgraded constantly due to maintenance issues or space fires destroying stuff. This is a bit of a deterrent unless you want to continuously re-upgrade things after an "event." Best gameplay experience is by far mid difficulty with biospheres on, so you can control the biomass to a tee. Creating species is fun. Would be cool to have preset sets of DNA for dog, cat, chicken, horse, etc. |
| 2024-10-07 |  | | As a stay at home mom who enjoys learning physics, astro physics, and eco systems, I must admit that this game is on target. If I had a complaint about this game it would be that I personally want more detail to it. Not visual detail, but rather more options for creating bigger, better cities. However, I have faith that this will happen in the future. I would.rate this game 5 out of 5 stars. For a "waiting" game it's definitely better than making a farm or island or what ever else. |
| 2024-09-11 |  | | Never played a game like this before. I love the intricacy of it. Theres so much to do yet its simple to navigate and understand, which is excellent because idk much about science and NASA. It deals with complex ideas but at a layman's level. Thank you Update: Still love the game Kuddos. My only complaint is that when I download the game on a new device I am forced to go through the tutorial again. I've been through it several times now. Is there a way to fix that? Thank you for your time. |
| 2024-08-10 |  | | I have recently rediscovered this game after a few years and man, I do love this game. Things move slowly but the pace works for this one. It has *zero* popup ads, just a popup at the top of the screen for optional ones. This has instantly put it toward the top of my list. There are a couple small bugs but the dev has a good record of fixing things. It's a free game that really feels like a free game. I plan on buying some things when I can but don't feel like I have to in order to progress. |
| 2024-07-20 |  | | Well made terraforming game. I have been playing this for years. I do wish there was a larger variety as far as the genes are concerned for your balancing of the ecosystems. It would also be nice to see a larger variety as far as built structures on your planet after all of these years. And it would also be cool if there were text based quest lines that could pop up in randomized patterns that could give each planet individual boosts. But as far as what exists right now. It's very well done! |
| 2024-05-31 |  | | 2 of my cities keeps getting abandoned. I check the log and nothing has happened. Yet every morning they are abandoned. The only way to get them back on online is by building a new hab unit and waiting, with the game opened, to complete construction. If I close the app it just stays abandoned even with the new construction. This also means it's making it 10 times harder to terraform. To add on to the frustration, I can't seem to figure out how to send a report to support. :/ |
| 2024-05-15 |  | | Really fun and interesting game, I've played off and on for the last few years. It's not fast paced, I usually check in 1-4 times a day to make small adjustments and check on the game. It's fun and kinda like an idle game without being one of those addictive games that you accidentally spend hours on. Ads are not forced, and if you chose to watch one, it gives you helpful credits and income boosts. You can spend money to get more things and progress faster, but not needed. Have fun terraforming! |
