## What is Last Horizon?

Last Horizon is a minimal, atmospheric space survival & exploration game, set to deep ambient music.

Pilot the last vessel of a fallen civilization into the vast unknown, in search of a new habitable world. 

Carefully land on the planets you will encounter to gather terraforming resources and space-faring human survivors for the final destination... skillful piloting and the balanced management of fuel, oxygen & hull integrity are key.

Explore and harvest to create a beautiful and harmonious new world, but take too much and you might incur the wrath of sentient alien life...

### 5/5 — A Personal Favorite

*2025-10-08, version 1.2.0*

One of my favorite games. Beautiful visuals, simple concept that is well implemented and feels polished. This is a game with exactly the right complexity for a phone/tablet game. Enough challenge that I can really get into it, but simple enough that I can pick it up and play for just a few minutes at a time. Would be nice if the developer added some more levels with a couple new mechanics, but I know this is an older game and I’m fine with it as is. Highly recommend this game.

### 5/5 — Favorite IOS game PERIOD

*2025-10-01, version 1.2.0*

This is such an enjoyable game. It’s challenging and it’s relaxing at the same time. There are no distracting ads and it’s literally perfect.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2025-05-16, version 1.2.0*

Fun for quick play sessions; controls are tight! Graphics are cute and the sound is atmospheric. Good challenge but not overly frustrating. Great game from a great developer. Glad I bought this game :)

### 1/5 — 1st level ok

*2025-04-03, version 1.2.0*

The first level was ok but everything else is poorly made wish I could get refund

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-12-28, version 1.2.0*

Hab den Titel heute per Zufall gefunden. Cooles klassisches Spiel für das Smartphone. Ist vermutlich etwas älter, ist aber prima für zwischendurch. Kein In-App Kauf, keine Nervige Werbung. Einfach nur Atmosphärisch, einfach, gut. Und nette, klitzekleine Storyline. 

Danke! War die paar Euro definitiv Wert!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-05-26, version 1.2.0*

Cool Game! I really like how it is in real life. You fly into space and find a new world, gathering supplies, fixing you’re ship with Ore, O2, and Fuel, and Survive. Usually, I struggle on it. But it didn’t matter to me. I would keep practicing until I pass it. Surviving in space can be very difficult and almost unfair, It usually takes practice. There are 5 difficulties, One of them, Flight A, was for players that are new or want an easy game because they want to win. Another one, Flight B and C, More difficult than A, is for experienced players. And Flight X, Is Indeed very hard, this is the first flight you’ll see Red Aliens, It is used for players that are expert. And the last one, ESCAPE, is for players who thought Flight X was very easy because some people love hard stuff. It has a lot of red aliens and is very almost unfair. Outer Space can be cool! I can’t wait to see what will happen to Last Horizon if it gets new updates. It is a fun game to me!

### 5/5 — Many years on and I still play it

*2022-03-14, version 1.2.0*

I love the scale and casualness of this game, haven’t found one just like it. I still, after completing it, find myself redownloading and playing through it again.

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing, i have a suggestion though.

*2021-11-26, version 1.2.0*

This game is literally amazing, i love how smooth it is and how you did it. I think you should add a new mode though, sandbox mode: in sandbox mode you can just conquer plants. You could also just take over plants and gain a reputation, you can gain bad rep by conquering planets or you can gain good rep by helping them (by jot conquering them). If you have a lot of bad rep more aliens would come after you, if you have good rep the aliens wont attack u as much. You can also form a team of rouge aliens to conquer alien planets easier.

### 5/5 — favorite ios game

*2021-05-14, version 1.2.0*

this is my favorite game on ios. controls, setting, music, art—it’s all perfect. several reviews online mention an unlockable endless mode, but it doesn’t seem to exist.  that’s literally the only absent thing i wish this game had. still 5/5

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-05-01, version 1.2.0*

I with this was available on the Nintendo 3Ds
