  • Hydrogen Plant

    Hi team, need the hydrogen plant to produce water as stated. It only cleans water. Will change my rating to 5 ⭐️ once done
  • One of the best colonization games

    It’s incredibly satisfying to watch your colony spread out the way YOU want it to. It’s also somewhat fast paced and it requires you to prepare ahead. One thing however is that its’s really annoying whenever “disgruntled” settlers steal half of one resource. Sometimes the costs are high but other than that everything is pretty reasonable. Plus rover travel times aren’t hours long which is nice. I also like that you have total control of the camera view and can zoom in and around wherever you please. Another thing though is that the graphics are decent but can of course be improved. One last thing is that it would be nice to see settlers and astronauts moving about the colony to make it feel more “alive”.

  • Ok but.....

    It starts ok during the tutorial stage but then it really slows down to an unplayable level unless you buy gems to speed up the processes and explorations. I hate games like this. 😡 Yes, you can watch ads to get a couple of free gems or a very small amount of free cash. Just worth it!
    Time to delete this money hungry game.

  • FROZEN

    Enjoyed playing until colony was built then prompted me to build base again then said “can only build one” and that was it. Deleted and trying again but don’t hold a lot of hope :(
  • Not Playable At Current State

    This game is something I've been looking for,
    but unfortunately it's quite honestly
    unplayable at its current state. The game
    constantly forces you to restart due to its
    plethora of unlucky events at you, these
    events can span from a minor power outage
    to a critical oxygen plant failure. How do you
    fix this events? By sending your rocket all the
    way back to earth to get a repair kit, if you're
    lucky. You might be able to save you colony,
    but if not, you need to restart. These repair
    kits are one of the biggest issues, they are
    expensive and extremely hard to get (let
    alone keep). The expensive part wouldn't be
    too bad if the game didn't force you to spend
    all your credits at the start of the game, you
    are basically living off small scraps of credits
    from advertisements for most of your start,
    but as soon as you make a little stash of
    money, a catastrophic event hits forcing you
    to spend it all for a repair kit or some other
    stupid reason. This game basically never
    gives you any rewards and keeps you
    begging for more scraps, that is of course if
    you don't purchase premium currency or
    more credits. This game is a waste of time
    and it's aggravating, wouldn't recommend
    downloading it at its current state, as it
    basically forces you to whip out your wallet in
    order to progress.

    Note: I found this review and it captures my feedback exactly. Pasted it here for awareness.

  • Fun game: DON’T SPEND MONEY ON IT

    Great game and a natural extension of TerraGenesis. Will be a really fun one once they get the bugs out.

    I learned that the hard way, spent quite a bit of money on my first go-round only to have the game big out and kill off my entire population… with no way to salvage.

    Some comments:

    Happiness is arbitrary. I went from 95% happy to zero for no apparent reason. Game needs to advise on what settlers like or don’t so you can make choices.

    You have to have a staffed landing site. Always! Game bugged out, couldn’t land a ship, can’t move forward…

    Don’t spend any money until they sort out more of the bugs. It’ll be a fruitless endeavor. Hopefully they address some issues quickly, it does get first rating when suddenly things swing way bad for no apparent reason, then it kind of forces you to spend money to fix it. Not a great enticement to play.

    Love the game and the interface is gorgeous… but gotta fix some stuff.

  • Lots of potential

    This game is quite addictive. I love the sandbox style play of building your settlement. However, there are too many “accidents” and “failures” in the storyline that hamper my ability to enjoy this game. If I open the game for just a minute or two at a time, I can research/build/explore without anything breaking or a settler randomly dying. The economics alone make play difficult without creating multiple failures or problems without viable solutions. The program itself has great graphics and the user interface is intuitive once the gameplay style is learned. A self-aligning grid or a 90 degree turn would make lining up the modules more satisfying for my OCD. The ability to watch videos for GP crashes every time I watch, so they are constantly skipped. Overall, the quality is not up to what I expected from the original TerraGenesis.

  • Decent concept, has potential

    I think it’s still being developed.

    The events happen too often. For a game where a trip in a rover takes 20 minutes there’s a lot of explosive decompressions and fatal accidents. They seem tipped towards the negative but I’d settle for just way less, they get in the way. It’s not that it’s difficult because of them, they’re just annoying. Unless you lose a load of water and people die in the accident and I can’t send a rocket back for more so it’s game over. Not every research needs to lose half its progress twice and then be suddenly completed.

  • Fun, but nerve wracking so many unlucky events

    Finished the first scenario, built a large city. Game got super laggy at this point. The first scenario i had to restart the game a few times. Started the second scenario The Storm, oh man did you ratchet up the difficulty level by a factor of 10, calamity after calamity. Zapping your resources quickly, im on 4th restart but the unlucky events keep coming. Im ready to rage quit. Spent $10 bucks and the unhappy settlers keep stealing from me. So tell me what are these settlers doing with repair kits? They arent applying them to the city? So they steal the repair kits and the oxygenator fails and everyone dies from lack of oxygen. What are they doing with the other materials they steal? Food and water i can imagine stealing. I want space jail or the ability to kick them out of the airlock. Than the mining shuttles blow up or crew dies, yeah its really frustrating. Going to take a break and come back and restart again. Many bugs in this game, buttons are small or overlapping forcing to use the speedups by accident. Crafting is lop sided, repair kits and chips, someone else mentioned. Trying to pause production doesnt seem to work.

  • Seemed good…

    Everything was going well with this game until, well, it wasn’t. I’m still in the tutorial portion of the game where it’s forcing me to accomplish certain tasks. I must’ve done something out of order, because it’s asking me to build a command center, but I already have one. So it just gets stuck, and I can’t do anything. I deleted from my phone, thinking that deleted my game data. I reinstalled it on my iPad, but the data is still there keeping me stuck. I would’ve reported this, but couldn’t figure out how to contact developers easily. I went this route because they seem to respond to feedback. I’ll reassess pending a work around.
