Leave a Review Galactic Colonies
Almost Perfect
I love this game, it's so clever and fun and I don't get board playing it. That being said, there is a major accessibility flaw that makes the game significantly more annoying. For some reason, the colony map does not stay consistent and it is all in one straight line so it's impossible to tell what regions or buildings are actually next to each other because they keep moving around and they're not listed in a grid. This wouldn't be a big deal except the game makes it a big deal because if you put a living too close to an industrial building like a resource collector or a factory lowers the number of colonists that can be in your headquarters. I kept this in mind and I put my gas collector very far away from my headquarter only to discover that oops apparently it was right next to it, I could tell. That being said I'm pretty sure this game has been abandoned though, but if anyone ever picks it back up, I would love more opportunities to earn energy cells as well! But again, probably gonna keep playing this game and I love it just some minor suggestions that would help the game immensely improve if anyone actually cares.Show lessMfgrocks11

third mission after crystals are found game lies when extractors cannot be built since no crystals are in either area. if not enough cash is on hand yet and aI was told that I would not have abandoned the planet and deleted the game. all game developers should regularly track their delete counts since high delete counts point at quality problems of one sort or another .Show lessBlindfromthebeginning
What an amazing and amusing game.
What a cool and interesting game. I'm actually surprised that people in the reviews say that this is not as good as they hoped for. But to me, it's a very, very good game. You need to be able to manage your money correctly to be able to buy all the required things.
And also, thank you very, very much for making this app accessible for visually impaired people. It is indeed, very much appreciated.
Thank you for reading this, if you actually read it.
Over all, an amazing and good game.Show lesszia the wonderer
Fun game but needs updated
As I said, in the title, this game is fun, but it needs updated. In fact, it hasn’t been updated in two years. We’re on iOS 17 now, not iOS 15. I want to see this game continue, but it looks like it’s been abandoned. Please update the game. It’s fun to play, and it’s accessible to the blind.Eyeless Fish

Voiceover cannot tell players about adjacent buildings and on second mission an error is forced on voiceover users with industrial building being next to living quarters. No warnings are given so a player can cancel a building either. I’m done with this game for that reason until this problem really gets fixed and will read the blind gaming lists to learn of the fix if it ever happens.Show lessPast level three
I love this game, but I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it a bunch of times. Closed out of it and come back but I can’t seem to get past level three. The mission I get does not lineup with the resources that are only available in that planet. For example: if I need computer parts, and they need crystals, crystals are not available in the planet. Therefore, I cannot addVance. Please fix this but overall I love the game. I’d love to continue to play this.Show lesskk61036
First sell 25 computer parts mission bug3 stars for being accessible and this bug.
Crystal extractor cannot connect to warehouse for storing crystals so computer parts cannot be manufactured.Good game
This is a good game, but I am encountering a bug where the factory is saying not connected to other valid buildings please fix asapTombunny65
A few accessibility issues and recommendations
I love this game, but the biggest issue I have is understanding how the colony map layout works because it’s very confusing and unclear to me. I have next to no eye sight and have to use VoiceOver no matter what. I know from reading the “How To Play” manual in the settings menu says in each colony you build the colony’s base will always be in the center of the colony, but I don’t know if the colony map is supposed to be a sort of grid view or if it’s all linear and you just swipe left and right to get to each region. I don’t mind that but only being able to navigate the colony map by swiping left, and right alone isn’t enough or makes much sense because without some type of system, that tells you what the coordinates are of each region on the map and there’s no way to know, keep track and understand how the voiceover cursor is actually moving around on the colony map or if it’s moving adjacently with each swipe or not which is very annoying to me. If the colony map is suppose to be a grid like structure, but if so then, you should be able to swipe left, right, up and down with one finger to navigate to every adjacent region, not just left and right or horizontally, but vertically too and I wish that the developers could program the game in a way that when you swipe to a adjacent region, it announces what column and row the VoiceOver cursor is in on the colony map, followed by if it’s an empty region, unexplored empty region, unexplored empty region with ore, crystal and or gas deposit or any other kind of deposit region for mining or if that region is an unexplored lake, ocean, mountain or any other kind of geographical feature. Single tapping with two fingers can tell you how much cash and energy cells you currently have and what boosters are active (if any are active) triple tapping with two fingers can tell you how many colonist you have + how many are unemployed and the rate of income, swiping up with three fingers will return you to the space map, swiping down with three fingers, can open the mission status menu, swiping left with three fingers can open your inventory and swiping right with three fingers can open the Settings menu. I think if more voiceover gestures can be utilized like this and if each region in the colony map can be labeled with some type of coordinates system then, this game would be amazing despite the video booster and reward bug.Show lessThomas Buboltz
Add issues
so game is ok. however the last 2 days every time i watch an add to recieve the free 5 energy cells it glitchs and freezes up the game and wont give me my cells. i have the latest update. so i figure it only lets me have 100 energy cells for free. if that is the case then why not say that. if that is not the case then something is wrong with the game and needs fixed.Show lessTopmywolf
