## What is Colonia Ares?

Year 2089. Earth is exhausted, and a small group of explorers lands on Mars with one mission: turn the red planet into a new home.

In Colonia Ares you run the base. Build modules, keep oxygen, water, food and energy flowing, and look after the people who live there: every colonist has a name, a job, a personality and friendships.

• BUILD AND UPGRADE: solar panels, oxygen generators, greenhouses, labs, batteries, a reactor… more than a dozen modules with three levels each.
• CARE FOR YOUR PEOPLE: colonists get tired, miss Earth, fall ill or argue. If they stay unhappy for too long, they may leave.
• SURVIVE MARS: dust storms, breakdowns, long nights and tight resources.
• RESEARCH: a technology tree with four branches to unlock modules and upgrades.
• REQUESTS FROM EARTH: complete timed orders and build streaks to earn more.
• TERRAFORM: raise habitability to 100% and watch the planet change colour and fill with life.
• KEEPS GOING WITHOUT YOU: the colony keeps working while the game is closed, and you never lose everything at once.

Pixel art, relaxing music and play at your own pace, in English and Spanish.

Ads are always optional: you only watch one if you want help (speed up a build, fix a breakdown…). The one-time «No Ads» purchase gives you the same help without watching them.
