### 4/5 — Wish the devs got back into it

*2025-07-13, version 3.3.179*

Yes the game is ran by people who have huge fleets but if devs made it easier for them by making it a more active game they’d get new users but yet again they don’t care

### 4/5 — Good game, but could use an update.

*2025-06-26, version 3.3.179*

This game has the bones of a truly excellent game. Very well thought out, and has plenty to build on. Hopefully the developer will decide to do a content update at some point. In the meantime, it is still fun to build up a fleet of ships.

### 3/5 — Not much to it

*2023-01-06, version 3.0.121*

Basically just a glorified cookie clicker game. There's no strategy involved, you just have to build more ships than your opponents. Nice to pass the time with though.

### 2/5 — Money

*2022-04-20, version 3.0.121*

Pay to win. The person who buys biggest fleet can destroy those that takes months to build because they didn’t buy extra stuff

### 4/5 — Double dip payment

*2021-06-24, version 3.0.121*

Whoever is in charge of payment processing needs to know that you have double dipped in payments. I used a gift card at first and bought $9.99 worth of nanites, and it was taken with no problem, when I replaced it with a debit card, they took the payment from it as well.  Very dishonest! A compensation of  $9.99 worth of nanites will be an honorable thing to do. I sincerely hope that you will do the right thing.

### 3/5 — I like it but it needs improvements

*2020-09-08, version 3.0.121*

I just want to start by saying I am in love with this game. I’ve played it for so long and the community is fairly nice. Although this game is simple it keeps making come back to it. But as good as it is... it has so much potential and things that it NEEDS to improve. I’m pretty disappointed that the game isn’t updating it with different content that often. Not because it’s boring, but because it has so much more potential to it that would make it more interesting and popular. Like making new ships, different kinds of events, wars, etc. I myself have many ideas of what this game could have in it that would affect it greatly. And one last thing that I can’t stress enough is the dissatisfaction of losing all of your ships when you’re attacked and still being super vulnerable and not being able to have a safe place like a bank where you can store some extra fighters or something not a ton but enough to try and get you back up on your feet. I really don’t want it to sound like I hate this game because it’s truly one of a kind and amazing to play.

### 4/5 — Great

*2020-05-24, version 3.0.121*

Very good game to play however no storyline or large amount of content. Not suited for casual gamers who just want to play short term. Requires lots of time and work to progress

### 4/5 — Good

*2019-07-12, version 3.0.121*

Not vary much to do in the game but it’s cool to see what the next upgrade looks like.

### 3/5 — Need update!

*2019-06-17, version 3.0.121*

According to latest news, the last update was about a year ago. I recommend improving the texture and content qualities if possible. Fix the modification alert! Edited: make the Distance-Time more realistic! No matter how far is the target from our planet, it always takes 5mins.

### 4/5 — Somethings not right

*2019-04-27, version 3.0.121*

I like the it’s ok but there could be some improvements like for example the way that the attack works is your fleet goes in to battle but you don’t get to watch it in real time. I think it would be better if you could. Thanks for the game please read this review.

### 5/5 — Too hard

*2019-04-19, version 3.0.121*

I decided to rate the game five stars, but this game is too hard. It takes too long to build a decent fleet. Other than that, great job.

### 4/5 — Good foundations to build on.

*2019-04-17, version 3.0.121*

So the game isn’t very difficult in meaning there isn’t a lot that you need to get your head around it’s very simple and basic. Up on starting you get a 14 day beginning period we’re your classes as a rookie, good though that there is a training alliance that helps these new starts find there feet and gives them information to build up on. 

It’s not long before your well on your way with build and ships to get an over view of what’s going on and after that your good to go just be careful about pvp play as you could loose your ships( Not a bad thing as battles give you stars and that’s how you progress in ranking) taking the whole battle experience to a new level we’re you have to fight to gain points instead of just simming (which still can be done but would take ages to get to any one who fights as the game demands it’s a strategy war game haha. 

There are a few doubts to am mostly it’s to do with the times it can take some building 2-3 days with out a paid account to develop some building (capped at certain levels so it not to extreme just means paid account would be fully developed faster resulting in better production for longer) in regard to that production is capped at certain amounts so you can only produce that amount however storage is unlimited so you can farm to your hearts content. 

Like a said good foundations and maybe more to come in development who knows :)

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-04-14, version 3.0.121*

Have so much un playing it

### 4/5 — Couple things

*2019-03-05, version 3.0.121*

Can you please work on making this game available on the Microsoft App Store? And can you provide more stats in-game, such as having your fleet value visible in the build screen or somewhere?

### 1/5 — Nichts funktioniert

*2025-07-22, version 3.3.179*

Missionen kann ich keine abschließen da das Solo Game nicht mehr vorhanden ist. Alle Gelder werden als voll angezeigt man will was bauen geht aber nicht weil die Anzeige verbugt ist und du nicht siehst was du wirklich hast. Aber naja ist halt so wenn man das Spiel öffnet und direkt eine Nachricht bekommt das die Server wieder laufen nach Monaten das letzte Update war vor einem Jahr schade das man ein totes Spiel im Store lässt

### 1/5 — Impossible d’y jouer

*2024-08-22, version 3.3.179*

Dès que je rentre mon pseudo et que je veux jouer, ça me met pas de connexion Internet alors que je suis connecté. Système d’exploitation iOS.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-11-07, version 3.0.121*

Pay to win

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-04-27, version 3.0.121*

Devs have completely abandoned the game and it’s pay to win. There is literally zero chance for new players as people who pay to win come in and wipe your fleet the second your shield drops with their millions of ships vs your several thousand. Same repeat events for at least 4 years.

### 1/5 — What

*2021-03-08, version 3.0.121*

This game is terrible. Bad graphics

### 1/5 — I cannot believe it

*2019-06-30, version 3.0.121*

I played this game a long time ago when it first came out. It actually looks worse now than it did then.

### 1/5 — Pay to win or get wiped out over and over

*2018-08-21, version 3.0.121*

Another scam to get your money. I played this game a TON but one player can spam invade you over and over cause your name is kept in the mail... you can get all your fleet destroyed over and over and loose all the money you build up in the first place... beyond a certain point it's futile to even keep playing, you're just gonna be abused for not spending real money, AND ALOT OF IT MIND YOU

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2018-02-12, version 3.0.121*

The game is pay to win, I started weeks ago and all my ships were wiped out in one attack by some autistic named M32. Some people just needs to get lives.
Still toxic crap.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2018-02-04, version 3.0.121*

Ok so I get the game all excited because I thought hey this is a game where you can get multiple bases and explore the Galaxy. Wrong, you can have one base with 6 or 7 buildings. And the attack is really boring. Played it for a day now deleting it. I will re download it if you make some changes very disappointed.👎😿😭

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2017-01-17, version 2.6.95*

Just got the game and none of the buttons work, I've waited for and hour and restarted my phone and nothing seems to work, looks like an okay game though if the buttons did

### 5/5 — Colony Attack

*2021-05-27, version 3.0.121*

This is more than a game...it serves to develop and nurture skills that can potentially bring about change for growth in the real world...I highly recommend it because it has changed me...

*2019-09-22, version 3.0.121*

I have been playing this game for many years, possibly since this game’s release. I originally had it on my first ever handheld device (a Samsung tablet) and playing it brings me great memories. Great gameplay and fun battle system. 5/5 would recommend!
