Great Time Management, Poor OPTIMIZATION!

First I will say the game is good and the prices you pay for the few option is reasonable.

I have been playing for 6 plus months and enjoyed the daily activities of managing the settlement.

As of now I would not suggest making any ingame purchasing due to the game not being optimized. It's a text based type game with no high demand for graphics yet when I play I get error message that it's low on memory.

So recently I purchased a new, best iPad with twice the ram. It's the best you can get yet I'm still getting the memory error. The game either lacks optimization or has a memory leak, I'm not sure. Either way once you spend much time, advance, maybe spend money on purchases you will find yourself not being able to play even with best tablet or phone.

So play free and don't spend money. I'm all done due to my new iPad can no longer support this app. Please fix memory issues.

Great Time Management, Very Challenging!

First I will say after reviewing other's reviews the game does work fine and the issues people are having with the game freezing or running low in memory is due to using an older device that doesn't have enough memory. This happened to me recently with most of the games I was playing, including this game. I had an old 8th gen iPad and had to replace, game works fine now.

I like this game, it's very challenging and pushes you to tightly manage your colony, it will test your skills and there is always a way to work through the toughest situation.

I have been playing now for 8 months and just yesterday achieved the construction of a nuclear reactor, this will change everything and greatly increase my advancement. Doing so wasn't easy, and I found managing my people by sending them out on exploration greatly helped to manage resources, collect samples which in turn I sent back to earth for credit towards more needed resources.

I will leave you with one thought, using your imagination, trying different things and never giving up is key in this game. You need to manage your colony everyday to be successful.

One mistake I now see that I made is I put my colony near the North Pole where the water ice is. Primarily it's a good idea but I'm now thinking if the ice all melts my colony may be destroyed. It's a possible costly over sight on my part, I didn't catch that when starting but I will have to wait and see. I can always start over if need be.

Great game and support

I really enjoy the game and its dynamics. When I had an issue with the purchase the developers were quick to respond and resolve my issue which is rare these days.

Sigh

I hope you added Venus to colonize ;)

Great Potential, but…

The fact you get nonstop increases in colonists with no way to reject them and it feels impossible to actually stay ahead of habitat needs cause you run out of construction supplies constantly is frustrating. I’ve tried 3 different runs and they all end in failure cause I can’t build faster than the colonist population increases. I think with the ability to stop them from coming and get extra supplies as a result would be nice.

Takes ages , life is short

Takes ages to build , life is to short to wait for so long , if for a construction will take 5 minutes I’ll give you 5 stars , should be a fun game not to wait for a building hours

Wow, this is amazing! Part 1

Wow, I’m surprised, only by one developer, but still good, but could you lower the time, you aren’t giving us micro transactions, but if you won’t lower the time, could you implement ways we could lower the time, like the more population we have, the more you get of a special point that you earn when you increase in population, or something? But truly, this game’s positives are great! You get to place yourself anywhere, even the mountains, the valleys, craters, anywhere and there’s even height! I don’t know much about the game as of now because I’ve just started my journey, but this games still great! Will edit or write more once I figure out more about this.

Fantastic

Absolutely loving this game, there’s not much else out there like this, it’s a bit of slow burn brilliance. Hoping the dev team continue to add more to this, its fantastic.

App crashes if your colony gets too big

Loved playing this game, but eventually my colony got too large causing the app to crash crash while loading - on launch I get the “loading height maps…” progress bar, and when it gets to 100% the app just crashes. Repeated attempts produce identical results. I haven’t been able to figure out a way to recover it.

Devs need to fix this or all my buildings will deteriorate and my colonists will die. :(

Wow

This game really impressed me, was a whole lot of fun

Time is money people

Things take way to long to research. And then you need to build them! AND YOU CANT DO THEM ALL AT ONCE

Entertaining

Was a great game overall for the last 6 months. Yes it’s a slow long process game. But highly entertaining.

That all changed a few days ago when travelling lack of internet meant no contact.
This has caused me to jo be able to fix an issue my colony had. To make matters worse If you are in the progress of upgrading or building you can only pause not cancel it. So now my colony will die out due to a small change I think needs to be done. I don’t mind loosing the resources for said upgrades, but to loose the entire colony 6 months down the drain.

So overall I enjoyed it up until my recent error don’t forget to check in. Daily.

Each iPhone issue had a setting for it.

Great detail and so far they have adapted to the iPhone 12 well. Even font size adjustment setting (a little bigger range would be freat)!

N o I c e

Nice game keeps me calm.

Entertaining and surprisingly enduring

Slow and steady, but a very entertaining game. I hope that continual refinement and building of the game is planned, there is a nice diamond in the rough here. Thoroughly recommend.

Don’t waste your time...

This game is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Glaciers move at a quicker pace.

Hard but fun

I have some suggestions for this amazing game please don’t waste a good game and improve it
1). Should have a button where should you allow or not allow any more people to your city
2). Should have somewhere to request what you want (note this one is like you will get more of the resource you want and less of other)
That all I have for now but please don’t abandon this game like many other great game

Edit: Idk why my name is that my account name is VIKKstarship123 but it fine that ninjahaveligma

go with Elon and settle Mars

Games provides my IT brain with endless play strategies. Wish I could select a cool blue for the UI.

To the developers how’s about you let us start building deep space stations.

A Slow Paced but Fun Game

Genuinely enjoying this game. The only thing I dislike is that certain things can take so long. But I’m an impatient person. Other than that, I love trying to study what building I need next and how to keep my astronauts happy and healthy.
