To upgrade the water storage to lvl 5 I need 100,000 titanium but I can only hold 600,000 titanium so I’m at a complete dead end. ### 3/5 — Good, but… *2022-12-06, version 0.93* I liked the game as a resource management, colony sim. But the game is stuck on loading after a couple days. It also needs some performance updates as it uses a lot of juice for a simple rendering. ### 1/5 — Poor *2022-12-06, version 0.93* Poorly balanced ### 1/5 — So sad *2022-12-06, version 0.93* The game was one of the best I’ve seen, but after I became very good at it, it wouldn’t open anymore. 😥😔😢 ### 4/5 — Interesting game with some flaws *2022-11-26, version 0.89* I’m enjoying this game, and I like the way the mini-games break up the wait times. There’s one mini game with a series of symbols on the screen where I literally have no idea what I’m supposed to do - just end up force quitting the game. ## Frequently asked questions about Mars ### What is Mars: Colonization about?
