*2026-03-25, version 1.09*

Played this for years . Just returning now !

### 2/5 — Stole my purchase

*2026-03-19, version 1.09*

I used to play this game religiously. I bought all the levels and all the in-app purchases too. When I try and restore my purchases in-game, nothing happens, and it doesn’t give me the ability to even rebuy it again. So sad.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good

*2026-03-19, version 1.09*

The tutorial is a bit clunky, forcing you to click on the text every time is frustrating. I almost stopped playing it. But once you pass that initial frustration, there is a beautiful gem.

### 5/5 — Gorgeous addictive game

*2026-03-14, version 1.09*

I am obsessed with this game! The graphics and the game play are so clean and satisfying. It’s strategy but not timed. It’s the perfect blend of using your brain but not high stress. Love it!!!!  Make more games like this!!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-03-13, version 1.09*

Pure strategy, endless fun. End them slow or go on the attack

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-03-07, version 1.09*

I love this game have been playing it for years now but I would like it if there was more free levels I get making money but is that what ads are for I feel like it would get more people to play if they add some ads to unlock levels

### 5/5 — Part 2

*2026-03-01, version 1.09*

It’s great

### 5/5 — Swarm builder

Fun game good music reminds me of Eufloria

### 5/5 — E did it again.

*2026-02-14, version 1.09*

I play E’s VR game called Ironstrike and this game is just as good. Please check it out.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-02-09, version 1.09*

Played it for hours:)

### 5/5 — No ads

*2026-02-09, version 1.09*

Free play love this game

### 4/5 — Better control

*2026-02-04, version 1.09*

The game is repetitive in the lack of control and command structure. It is entertaining. The problem lies in the limited upgrade options or attacks. The graphics are enjoyable for what there is but it gets boring quick.

### 5/5 — classic RTS

*2026-01-07, version 1.09*

i found this game originally in highschool and forgot about it when i got a new phone but constantly remembered how much i liked the game, spent and hour trying to find it again and not a single second was wasted, the game is hours of challenging enjoyment

### 1/5 — Another game behind a pay wall..

*2026-02-09, version 1.09*

I used to play this game and completed every level. Now wanting to play it again. It’s making me start completely over and makes you have to purchase the game after like 6 matches.. it’s a fun game but should not be charging people for a low quality game. PC games are way better and completely free. Why would I pay for a stupid little phone game?

### 1/5 — I’m a bit sad about this

*2025-07-06, version 1.09*

I bought the original game years ago now and have repeatedly gone back to it to replay as I love it!  It was just the right amount of challenge and fun loved the music!  I was so excited to hear they’d revamped the game so I got this version and for a awhile now I’ve been playing through levels and completed most constellations now but the last few levels I have to do are actually impossible and I’m now getting to a point of not wanting to keep coming back and playing which is really gutting.  As a last ditch attempt I googled other layers strategies and employed them however I’m still not getting past these levels so I can complete all of the constellations! To give this some perspective I have been trying to get past these levels for well over a year now.  I’m not enjoying it because it’s no longer fair but just nothing works at all.   I love the mutilple yer idea and my partner and myself have played against each other occasionally but o cannot find other players to play against at all and the game now has an abandoned feel to it so I’m sad that the developers aren’t responding to people and are not making alterations to this truly awesome game!  So over all I’m just really gutted!  What a shame!  I will have to go back to my playing your first version I’m afraid!

### 1/5 — Not fun

*2025-06-19, version 1.09*

The MPC always gangs up on you making it extremely hard to win because all the enemies are attacking you and not each other, it gets extremely annoying having the enemies only attack you after trying multiple different strategies over 12 different rounds.

### 1/5 — Incredibly Poor Game Design

*2025-02-26, version 1.09*

I do not recommend spending a dime on games published by this developer. They design their levels intentionally to cause you to be sabotaged, double-teamed, etc.

An infuriating experience and a disappointment of a game. Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Se cancelli paghi di nuovo

*2025-01-12, version 1.09*

Ho pagato per il gioco l’ho cancellato e riscaricato per questioni di minuti e devo pagare di nuovo per continuare i livelli. Ma stiamo scherzando??? È un bellissimo gioco e voi fate queste fangate?? Io ho pagato voglio l’accesso completo…dove si è sentito che un gioco acquistato non si possa più accedere ai livelli. Vergognati ho il volta stomaco non una stella meno 5 stelle .fango fango e fango

### 1/5 — I want my money back.

*2024-07-02, version 1.09*

I loved the first game and beat the entire thing, so it’s not like I don’t know how to play, but the enemies in this new one will constantly gang up and attack you until you have to force a reset. This is CONSTANT. FIX IT. It’s NOT FUN. Either change your AI, or add a casual/normal mode for people who don’t want to entirely waste their time 19/20 times they play. 

I bought every level right off the bat because I was a fan of the first one, but now I’ve come to find it’s essentially unplayable. Complete garbage.

### 1/5 — Typically Apple

*2024-06-15, version 1.09*

I bought this game a years ago. Speed mode and pack. But Apple deleted my restore. From now on Apple look at me. Money from me you will see when pigs fly. You thieves

### 1/5 — Unbalanced

*2024-05-28, version 1.09*

I have never seen a more glitchy, unbalanced game in my life. The AI is not intelligent, instead to make up for that deficiency they allow it to build faster. This just makes the game unfair and gets old very fast.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-09-01, version 1.09*

Thanks for making the computers automatically default to teaming up against the player, well done so much fun

### 1/5 — 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

*2023-08-07, version 1.09*

Es el peor videojuego del mundo los creadores nada más lo hacen para hacerte enojar

### 5/5 — Un juego entretenido ;D

*2026-08-04, version 1.09*

Se me ha hecho un juego muy bueno y entretenido, lo recomiendo mucho, aunque debes dedicarle un tiempo para pensar y estar preparado para perder algunas partidas ( a veces eso es un poco complicado, pero está bien )me gusta mucho la música ya voy por la segunda constelación y empecé a jugar ayer. Agradezco mucho que no tenga anuncios . Les deseo suerte

### 5/5 — Simple yet satisfying!

*2026-07-28, version 1.09*

This game is capable of providing quite the challenge. I’ve spent many hours working through the fun, yet simple, levels. I enjoyed playing versus my teenage daughter and also playing solo. I would recommend to any age.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-24, version 1.09*

Addictive

### 5/5 — Fun Strategy Game

*2026-07-21, version 1.09*

Fun, engaging, and truly ad-free. Music is great too.

### 5/5 — Nostalgic

*2026-07-18, version 1.09*

I missed Solar Max. This game definitely fills the niche.

### 5/5 — Relaxing and fun

*2026-07-04, version 1.09*

No nonsense puzzle game

### 5/5 — Fun, can be meditative or fast. No ads. Good game

*2026-05-25, version 1.09*

Hi all; this is a fun game. I’d buy it (and have). I have yet to see any ads, which makes for a unique and beautiful play.  The colors come vibrant, electric blues and brilliant grassy green, but you can adjust to your favorite.  I’m a little frustrated since I already paid for these levels all on my droid, and it didn’t carry over to iPhone, but that was a long time ago.  ***EDIT: I tried to purchase a level again and it remembered me and gave it all back free. Good app! END EDIT***


I may buy it again lol.  There are try levels to see what type you enjoy so you can buy that package.  It’s amazing how many variations they’ve come up with.  You can pause and adjust speed to be fast at lunch or slow to let you fall asleep. It’s like accidental meditation.  If you like the colors in Hue, if you like tower defense or battles, this is for u. Truly easy to test; no hassles. If you keep losing, practice setting the enemies against each other.

### 5/5 — Strategy game perfection.

*2026-05-20, version 1.09*

Hard to have any issues with the game.  It’s addicting, it’s free, and there’s no advertisements.  In terms of games on the App Store, it’s a diamond that you just do not see.

### 5/5 — Exciting strategy that can be at any speed you’re ready for

*2026-05-07, version 1.09*

The game works as an exciting dopamine, giving rush with strategy that appears with time and needs new adaptation and intelligence for the game player, I love it!

### 5/5 — just an honest free to play strategy

*2026-04-18, version 1.09*

thank you
