I want to play the new mini games without paying for it. ### 2/5 — I have to pay just to play more games *2026-08-18, version 0.5.23* I LIKE IT BUT I HAVE TO PAY JUST TO PLAY MORE GAMES! ### 3/5 — I miss the old protoplanet *2026-08-18, version 0.5.23* I miss old protoplanet ): 😔 ### 3/5 — A suggestion *2026-08-16* I love the game and here's some suggestions maybe you could add the rest of the dwarf planets and that like size comparison game also in that new game you sent just yesterday could you add all the planets it's also if a planet falls in a star it cannot come back because that is not in real life but yeah it's a pretty amazing game also could you add a future of the solar system game in one of your future updates please this is the best game I've ever played but guess what the game has now changed now there's that stupid pro thingy that nobody cares about I only got to play one game for one second and it said get pro or else you get none of the games for one blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah fix your gay man final words your game will get so long dreamer goodbye **Developer response:** We've lifted the daily play limit for all players in the latest update, so grab the newest version. Thanks too for the suggestions: more dwarf planets, a full planet set in the size comparison, and a future-of-the-solar-system mode are all great ideas we're noting down. Good catch on planets falling into stars as well. We appreciate you playing! ### 4/5 — Another suggestion *2026-08-12, version 0.5.20* In the Birth of the Solar System game mode, add a feature where you can choose a gas disk, a rocky disk, or both. Basically, the gas disk will have much lower viscosity, the rocky disk has a higher viscosity, and both of them combined is just them combined into one disk. Please add this ### 2/5 — Sorry but there is an ad that takes you to the App Store…. *2026-08-02, version 0.5.17* There is an bug that takes you to the App Store ### 3/5 — It could be better *2026-08-01, version 0.5.17* The sim is good but, it could be better. Add a universe option where it has everything in the universe and you can spawn space objects in. And also make it have crash physics. ### 5/5 — This is the best app to find planets solar systems and more *2026-07-25* If you want to check out stars planets solar systems and more but you don’t have a telescope then this game is very right for you **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and the recommendation! We built Milky Way so anyone could explore planets, stars, and solar systems without needing a telescope, so it's wonderful to hear that's landing. More to come! ### 5/5 — Super good game *2026-07-19, version 0.5.13* This is a super good game and I always lagged in giant impact the game is good and the other minigames works well and this is so fun ### 5/5 — Youtube stuff add pls *2026-07-18, version 0.5.13* I want a new cosmic thing called “Zoom through the universe” which you start off by a space telescope and zoom untill the milky way and the observable universe shows. And also can you nerf giant impact? its laggy Add stars to the size comparison, make gravity sandbox free, “ITS FUN I LOOKED AT THE IMAGES :]” and make Milky way map without a zoom limit. ### 5/5 — Why did you delete the rocket landing and the moon program landing also The Mecca Zilla landing *2026-07-18, version 0.5.13* This is a great game. I just want the stuff back. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Once a fun sandbox game, now a cash grab. *2026-09-06* us and the poor people who CANT pay for your “pro” are so dissapointed, not to mention you used ai. You were once so so proud. I loved the game till I downloaded it back and found “pro” ### 1/5 — Change pro *2026-08-20, version 0.5.23* I go on the app after a long time I see games that were free locked and I need pro and I don’t have money so I don’t buy it then I go on galaxy merger I don’t have the galaxys that I watched ads for and saturns rings don’t have the planets so please change it so the galaxys are free and planets but you get the galaxys form ads and planets ### 1/5 — NOW WHY DID YOU MAKE SOME OF THE GAMES PAY NOW I HATE YOU *2026-08-18, version 0.5.23* i hate you 1 star ### 1/5 — Stupid *2026-08-14, version 0.5.21* The new update gotta be play all games for free cause why do you guys spend money to play? ### 1/5 — Boooooo *2026-08-14, version 0.5.21* BRO THE GREED ### 1/5 — Locked away *2026-08-11, version 0.5.20* Tell me why you have to buy some of the sims now! ### 1/5 — What?! *2026-08-03, version 0.5.18* I can’t play😭✌️🥀 ### 1/5 — You have to be kidding me *2026-08-03, version 0.5.18* WHY ARE YOU CRAMMING ADS INTO YOUR GAME IT USED TO BE THE BEST GAME EVER PLEASE REMOVE ADS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — You removed a lot of games I miss old Milky Way cosmic play ground *2026-07-05, version 0.5.9* I so smart ### 1/5 — I hate this update. Please change it back. *2026-06-28* I used to have this game when I was younger and I loved it and I looked at your update log and I saw that I can compare stars in the solar system, size comparison. That made me excited and I decided to download it again I remember when I used to have the game all I had to do was just watching add to get more objects but now you’re making me pay five dollars a month and $50 a year really that is way too much just for one little thing. It’s just one app. I don’t think you should pay that much money just for that. Please change it back so you can just have an ad. **Developer response:** Thank you for coming back to Milky Way after all these years. It means a lot, and we're glad the size comparison caught your eye. We hear you on the price, and we're sorry the change was disappointing.
