Just bug fixes for what exists. Kept this game on my phone for over a year now in the hope they will soon add new levels, but nothing. ### 3/5 — Got boring *2026-07-19, version 1.2.20* I finished the game and now it’s boring and I didn’t even figure out how to get to level 20 and there’s still something locked on my inventory. ### 3/5 — Finish your game *2026-07-08, version 1.2.20* You read the title so yeah, do that. ### 4/5 — Pls fix this *2026-07-07, version 1.2.20* I like the game but when I first fix the car and Im able to go save the person I had to do that other mission before I could save her, and when I win the cave to kill all the alien thingies and looted the chests when I press the button leave it just makes me go off the game and when I join back in, it makes me do it again and again, so I can’t get past it pls fix it ### 4/5 — Level 20 *2026-06-05, version 1.2.20* Hey developers I really like the game. But how am I supposed to get to level 20 to break big pieces of the former mars base. I’m asking because my pickaxe is at level 14 and it’ll go to no higher levels it’s stuck at level 14. I’m assuming that I have to get my pickaxe to level 20, but I’m not able to and it’s the only thing that can level up. But it’s still a great game. ### 3/5 — Literally stupid *2026-05-17, version 1.2.19* You can literally fight for free on iPhone iPad anymore, but on Xbox you have to pay money like it makes sense with deluxe and others just don’t make the regular one cost money, please ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-04-02, version 1.2.18* I downloaded the game, played for about one minute when the first ad came up, deleted the game. FTS! ### 2/5 — Beware the long game. *2026-03-29, version 1.2.18* It’s starts fun and you can progress pretty quick. Until your CP reaches about 5000. Then the mission requirement go up by 200-300 cp per level which is insane. Because that’s the equivalent of about 10-15 gear upgrades at 20000 each. They got me, I spent money, and now I’m deleting. If you plan on playing this longer than your 4 hour layover in Atlanta, don’t do it. ### 1/5 — Too many ads! *2026-03-21, version 1.2.18* Really, just too many ads! ### 1/5 — Вылетает *2026-03-18* Игра прикольная, но оптимизируйте её уже наконец!!! Вылетает и загрузка зависает! ### 3/5 — 強制課金 *2026-03-17* しばらくはコツコツ楽しんでいました。広告も慣れれば苦にならなかったし、自分が好きなタイプのゲームだったんで良かったのですが、強制的に課金しないと前に進めない場面になってしまい、課金してまではしたくないので残念ながらこのゲームは削除です。 ESTOTYさんのゲームは砂を吸い取るやつとかリフォームするやつとかやってきましたけど、まさか、こんな落とし穴があるとは😭って事で今から削除です。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 半成品 *2026-08-29, version 1.2.21* 大型障碍物要20级铲子，结果铲子最高14级。。。甘霖娘鸡掰 ### 1/5 — Are you sure you fixed it cause I,t still won’t let me get in the game *2026-08-15, version 1.2.20* It’s the title ### 1/5 — Ads and more ads *2026-07-28, version 1.2.20* If you like ads you will love this game ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-07-15* Вылетает ### 1/5 — DO NOT AGREE TO TERMS OF SERVICE!!! *2026-07-09, version 1.2.20* Immediately as I opened the app I was bombarded with the T.O.S (as per usual) and the requirements to play the game are actually insane. Basically what it’s asking is to look at and store data on your device and make personalized ads. Not only that but your data is being shared with 305 different companies that you’ve most definitely never heard of. Now the reason why I didn’t immediately just agree to them was because of how weird it first looked, it was extremely sketchy. Now don’t take it the wrong way, I have absolutely no bias against estoty, in fact I’ve played one of their games and I fairly enjoyed it but it would be incredibly bonkers to agree to smth like this. ### 1/5 — I,t won’t let me get in the game *2026-06-26, version 1.2.20* As soon as I try to get in, it kicks me out that’s what I’m giving this one star ### 1/5 — Cool game *2026-06-01, version 1.2.20* Sadly to many ads ### 1/5 — AD ? *2026-05-26* Je viens de payer pour enlever les pubs et j’en ai toujours autant C’est pas un peu du vol ? ### 1/5 — Is the developer Chinese? *2026-05-05* Is the developer Chinese? The game isn't progressing; it has no end and just keeps repeating the same thing. ### 1/5 — Some ploblems *2026-04-22, version 1.2.18* I keep getting stuck loading because it’s closes for some reason ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ehh *2026-08-15, version 1.2.20* It’s alright, I feel pretty entertained:3 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-12, version 1.2.20* This game is amazing ### 5/5 — It won’t let me play *2026-08-02, version 1.2.20* When i get in it kicks me out i try and try again but it won’t let me in please please please fix this i really really want to play ### 5/5 — WOW what an amazing game! *2026-07-26, version 1.2.20* WARNING THIS HAS A COUPLE SPOILER ALERTS! Thank you for making this it is one of my favorites You can loot for resources on the ground find them and repair things after the meotor hits and destroys your base.A couple things that you can improve can you please add more chapters to this game because I got through all of them. Another thing is that when you get to the end of the newest chapter can you be able to build a rocket or spaceship that you can ride in to get back to earth. Or the space ship comes and picks you up. Last thing can you fix the tool upgrade machine because when I got to level 13 on my tool it stopped So I couldn’t upgrade my tool anymore because these big parts on the ground it says you need level 20 to break it. Great game I would rate this game 5.0 out of five stars. ### 5/5 — Fun game, dev has stopped working on it *2026-07-24, version 1.2.20* I have enjoyed this game, it’s a fun experience without feeling panicked or stressed… Great way to decompress. I really like that there is not an incessant number of Notifications that pop up on my phone. Just fun when I want it. After seeming to have gotten to a stop in progress in the game, I reached out to the developers discord channel.… I found out they have stopped development on the game, and I have literally gotten to the point where they have not developed any new missions. I hope they pick up the mantle again and continue developing new missions…. until then, my Mars mission is not complete. ### 5/5 — I love this game— when will we get an update?! *2026-03-28, version 1.2.18* Want updates but understand it’s on hold. ### 5/5 — Mars survivor *2026-03-26, version 1.2.18* When are we going to get a new update on this game because I am in the same situation as well when can we get harder levels ### 5/5 — Mars! *2026-03-13, version 1.2.18* I won’t loot. ### 5/5 — 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 *2026-03-13, version 1.2.18* This is a good game make sure to add like a new alien ### 5/5 — Нужно обновление *2025-12-05, version 1.2.14* Когда будет обновление?
