Unfortunately something in the game now makes it IMPOSSIBLE to play your own music while playing rhe game (at least if playing on iOS). I just want to listen to my music and play my game but since I can’t do both guess I’m gonna have to find a different game to play. I’ll give it 4 stars because it is a fun little colony simulation but not being able to choose my own music to zone out to is killing the vibe. ### 2/5 — Buggy but fun *2025-11-23, version 2.4.0* Its a little bugged at the moment ### 4/5 — Amazing game but unstable *2025-10-16, version 2.0.0* At one point I would give it 5 stars no questions, but me being unable to play the game for almost a year makes me bring it down. Whether housing bugs, or the UI deciding to stop working, the game is a complete mess now. Not worth making a new colony just for a homeless bug to permenently destroy it all. ### 2/5 — Poorly optimized for extended play *2025-09-17, version 2.0.0* It will consistently lag out and most of the time will nuke itself by being stuck in a no health/no jobs/no homes loop when you actually do. Other times your save file will just corrupt and it’ll all be just gone. Fun game but still runs poorly ### 4/5 — Bug *2025-08-09, version 2.0.0* It is a great game I just keep running into this issue that when I get above 100k money my whole colony stops working until payday and the money goes back under 100k ### 2/5 — Fun game but needs work *2025-06-11, version 2.0.0* Bro please fix this game super fun game but every time I start a new game and progress the game bugs out and doesn’t work properly rovers stop moving buildings don’t build or destroy correctly ### 3/5 — To many bugs *2025-06-08, version 2.0.0* Amazing game, the bug is a vary bad one. You dump hours into the game and you builder bots will just stop building and then you delete it but the game still thinks it there and then the bug makes the your resident house not work anymore. It’s really game breaking and you can progress any further ): until this is fixed I’ll not be playing anymore ### 4/5 — This game could be like Minecraft *2025-06-03* This game is so well done and in depth. it has the potential to be like Minecraft but just due to game breaking bugs it has limitations. Seemingly every time I get a world very developed I keep running into a building glitch where bots will no longer build pretty much anything. At first I thought it was an issue with stacking builder bots but that did nothing now the bots will only drive up to where they are going to start building but then will go idle and won’t actually build anything. I know the dev is working on other games and this has seemingly been put on the back burner but this is the best game you’ve ever made it’s so one of a kind and in depth. Playing on iPhone 12. ### 2/5 — Builders not building *2025-05-22, version 2.0.0* I loved the mobile game at first and played non stop for two days and got a university only the builders wouldn’t build, so I deleted it and tried to build in the same spot however a shadow of the previous build was still there and wouldn’t build, shortly after non of the bots would build,harvest or upgrade the game became laggy and colonists completely stopped working, I’ve played this game since the early pc days and never ran into this problem, what a shame. ### 4/5 — The game won’t load *2025-04-29, version 2.0.0* The game won’t let me in anymore. Has anything new been added? ### 3/5 — Сыро *2024-10-21, version 1.35.0* Игра сырая, хоть ей и 5 лет ### 4/5 — Seems alright so far. *2024-09-14, version 1.34.0* Yep ### 4/5 — Can not lave the bild many *2024-08-15, version 1.34.0* On mobole ### 4/5 — This Game is very fun *2024-06-18, version 1.32.0* This game is fun, relaxing and has a good concept but there is no tutorial and sometimes things get laggy, when this game is improved I think it may be with my favorite games of all time I hope this game makes it easier but in the meantime I guesss I will have to try to learn how to mine uranium, good game, but needs improvement. Thanks ### 2/5 — Would not load *2024-06-02, version 1.32.0* This game would not load.I was sitting at the loading screen for 10 minutes until I decided to give up.please fix this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Long waiting *2025-06-19, version 2.0.0* When a first started to play the game it toke so long and other games don’t take that long so if you please give it a little update so we players can play it. Thanks ### 1/5 — Fix loading bug please *2025-04-30, version 2.0.0* I love this game. But ever since the update dropped and I open the game it’s just stuck on the loading screen indefinitely. Would 100% change to 5 stars if it would let me play :( ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-03-17, version 1.37.0* It was on the loading screen for an hour and when I finally managed to get into the game the first time a lot of assets were missing so I tried again and reinstalled it and all the assets were missing now I’ve been loading for over 2 hours and it hasn’t even taken me to the loading assets screen ### 1/5 — Help *2025-01-08, version 1.37.0* Game stops loading new frames after a while ### 1/5 — Game stops working after spending hours on it *2024-10-20, version 1.35.0* Builder stops building even when resources are present. Need to restart a new game or create new city. ### 1/5 — It seems to me that it is not supported on IPHONE SE 2016 Years *2024-02-27, version 1.32.0* Can you please fix the endless loading on IPhone Se 2016 Years. ### 1/5 — o *2024-01-01, version 1.31.1* бесконечная загрузка на iphone 7 ### 1/5 — Dishonesty *2023-12-30, version 1.31.1* I’m sorry but this game is nothing like the description says. They did add multiplayer, and you need to make an in-app purchase to access it. I don’t know why they did that considering the app description clearly states they were never planning on doing so ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-12-20, version 1.31.1* Downloading ### 1/5 — Не заходит *2023-12-18, version 1.31.1* По виду игра интересная, но не заходит в саму игру Девайс: iPhone 11 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-29, version 3.3.0* At the start, it didn’t seem like a good game, but you really have to know how to play the game to actually enjoy if you wanna complex game I would definitely recommend this ### 5/5 — Absorbing and Charming *2026-07-01, version 2.4.1* It feels like I’m playing a high school senior’s computer science capstone project… and I’m not mad about it. It’s a fun, uniquely retro/low fi city builder with a surprising depth of mechanics. I’ve spent dozens of hours to idling around with various colonies and I expect I’ll spend many more. Thanks for the fun game! ### 5/5 — Its great *2025-09-20, version 2.0.0* I absolutely love this game! There is one slight problem though. When I build something and I run out of materials, the rovers just forget about the build until you place something new ### 5/5 — It’s a great way to kill time *2025-04-27, version 2.0.0* I also love the descriptions of certain things. Like the forest rover: “Somehow, science has figured out how to make a mechanical moving rover completely out of wood. Does it make sense? Does it matter? It’s a game!” ### 5/5 — W Game *2025-04-27, version 2.0.0* I rember playing this game l the time as a child it’s a great game and I love this game ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-04-04* For a mobile game, there is a lot of depth to the game, and the Dev actually fixes game breaking bugs. I love the amount of buildings and research in the game. I feel like there is just so much to do. And the fact that you can choose your faction or planet is great. if I had a single criticism, it would be that on certain planets, It is impossible to get certain resources, for example the red planet with United Earth has a huge amount of stuff that you can never get because you’re missing the specific resources. But all in all. I don’t think that is serious enough problem to drop below five stars. This game is great and I did not mind. Five bucks for the premium version it is worth it for the regions alone being able to build multiple cities in a region is a very cool game feature. ### 5/5 — What would it take? *2025-03-01, version 1.37.0* I absolutely love the classic sim city on PC, however I. Haven’t played it in many years. I’m on only mobile games now. I’d like to say, you rock! I found (My Colony) and thought, my wife is going to hate how much I play THIS GAME. I played through the night, no sleep. I got all nostalgic playing, like an old feeling of comfort playing a game that’s so customizable like (My Colony) . Every time I learn new strategies, I want to start over and apply what I learned to an earlier place of progression than the previous one! Just one request! I say this playfully and nothing but love for ya. Please address the lagging. It would be amazing if we could use the mega map too! What would it take on IOS ? Could you code it differently or something? If not, maybe recommend the best Engine configuration to apply ? I’ve tweaked it a couple times, not really understanding what does what . Thanks man! Keep up the great work !! ;) ### 5/5 — Ничего интереснее среди игр на телефон, пока не встречал *2024-10-07, version 1.35.0* Увлекла на несколько лет ### 5/5 — Just amazing *2024-08-16, version 1.34.0* Having something like building customization or being able to house hundreds of thousands in non-region worlds would be nice. Even if you don't add those the game still plays great. However my respurces bar is broken, any idea why? ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-05-30, version 1.32.0* This game is simple at complex. I have this game on multiple platforms purchased had free on Google play purchased it through Steam. This game is just amazing all around and I can’t wait for future updates on the second game to come out so I can play it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
