Capturing is inconsistent. Very difficult start to the game and gets easier as you progress. Normally games begins easy and become more challenging. Maybe it’s just playing in IOS. ### 2/5 — What is wrong with this? *2026-02-25* First off the missions are so hard to even become a black hole. It’s insanely hard. Do not buy this game unless you wanna waste your money. ### 3/5 — Has potential *2026-02-07* c- The virtual controls on iphone are terrible. Would be much better with a virtual D pad. The game physics are so so. Hard to tell since controls are bad. Also, objective and how that's carried out isn't that great. Needs work! ### 4/5 — B U G *2025-12-14* So I completed the last boss mission thingamajigy and after beating it, I could not see the stats of anything I tap no matter if I switch into another system, re-enter the game, NOTHING works. ### 5/5 — Класс 😇 *2021-07-19* Только скучно прошел и опять большой взрыв и астероид добавьте чтоб можно было делать чёрные дыры ещё больше ну галактику там квазар пожалуйста поддержите ### 4/5 — A M A Z I N G but more than 1 problem *2021-02-12* I unlocked everything, but............ There's only black holes, neutron stars, multi-star, a single star, life planets, small planets, and asteroids. Why can't I play as a dark matter asteroid or a dark matter star? Dark matter asteroids only spawn if someone plays as a black hole. You gotta add RED matter asteroids and that instantly turns anything it collides with into the big crunch. Also, that swipe card planet looks like a small planet with a shield. I REALLY want to play as that. ### 5/5 — Graphics *2020-07-11* Pleas make the back round more Diverse and Different and make it Good so it Doesn’t break the Device lag And make full moons not just asteroid moons and a ring system sometimes And finally add more stars and planets With each one being like dark matter in Chance of spawning in Like a Urainium Asteroid Or a Negitive Mass star Which repeles Planets and other stuff ### 5/5 — Proper write-up *2020-02-20* I just came back to this game after a long hiatus and saw the bad reviews it got. I think it deserves a proper write-up because it is actually a great game and it plays very well on my new iPad Pro. The game itself is still as good as when I bought it years ago. Sound is awesome, graphics are fluid and beautiful, gameplay is brilliant. The experience is both immersive, relaxing and entertaining. You owe it to yourself to try it out. ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2019-05-10, version 1.13* So much fun sir! I hope you port it to PS4 one day ### 5/5 — Good but *2019-03-05, version 1.13* Why can’t i use instant spawn mode? I mean, bluetooth keyboards exist. We can use it with virtual control gamepad mode, but just why not? ### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing *2017-02-07* This game is fantastic, but there are a few features that I would like to see implemented. The first is more realistic physics; the physics engine is pretty good, but planets magically fall into perfectly round orbits, the only moons a planet can have are asteroids, which too magically fall into perfectly round orbits, the player's velocity slows down dramatically when away from the controls (for some reason), stars can't come from large planets, galaxies don't and can't exist, along with other weird, unrealistic phenomena found frequently in the game. Despite my criticisms, this is by far the best space-related game out there; good idea, good execution, it's near perfect. It appears however that the developer(s) working on this game have ceased to carry this game any further, which is a shame, because this game could gain a lot of recognition (good for you) and the game will have heaps of added features (good for us). ### 5/5 — This is great but... *2016-11-29* The special stuff you get at the end of any game is always the best part (in my opinion anyway) and well... The end of game reward was extremely disappointing. When that alien god dude says he'll grant you powers when you complete the game. I was expecting ALOT better than Singularity Asteroids and the ability to be whatever..< thats quite cool i must say but there could have been more ### 5/5 — Thank you for updating to ios 9! *2016-07-03* ios 9 compatibility is now in the game, sorry that I didn't change the review for so long. I reccomend this game for sure as it has fun gameplay, an interesting mission system, great achievements, a saving system, and great graphics. Thank you again for making Solar 2 ios 9 compatible! ### 5/5 — Отличная игра! *2016-02-13* Очень необычная и единственная в своем роде!

No longer crashes. ### 5/5 — Great Game&Score *2025-02-07* I found this game to be Unique ! A+ ### 5/5 — Wee need solar 3 *2024-12-27* SOLAR 3 ### 5/5 — 游戏存档云端存储 *2024-08-02, version 1.25* 一款非常不错的游戏，从我首次从安卓设备接触至目前IOS，steam端入。 我已经玩这款游戏将近7年了。 请允许我提一点建议，能否从原理或功能上实现游戏进度，存档云端同步。 我不希望更换设备后全部游戏进度清零 ### 5/5 — I Found It Again! *2024-02-13* I used to play this game on my Kindle when I was younger and loved it. My kindle broke and I could never remember the name of this game. I found it again and I’m very happy! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2023-07-06* Please keep this game up to date, i love this game it brings back so much memories. ### 5/5 — Solar 2 my beloved *2023-03-10, version 1.25* I played this game on a crappy old android way back in the day, now that I can play this gem on a top of the line device, I’m reliving the game all over again. This game is pure nostalgia. ### 5/5 — A work of art *2023-01-05* Simple kind of game, and it came to my mind as of recently and tried to see if it was still around. Happy to see it still is! I would play this game for hours. So insanely well done, simple, and I love it for that. Highly recommended to play! ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-07-27* I used to love playing this game back on the Xbox 360 and was really excited to realise that it was available on the App Store. It still has the same great satisfying gameplay that the Xbox version had and I’m having a great time playing it! Controls feel pretty good considering it’s a mobile game (I would recommend enabling the digital analog stick as I found this to be a lot better than the default option). I also have not had any issues with the game crashing as other reviews have mentioned, I assume this has since been patched. Overall I would highly recommend, it is well worth the price in my opinion! ### 5/5 — So good *2022-02-11* YES!!!! I used to play this back on my Xbox 360 and really loved it. I also had it on an old iPad years later and would still play it from time to time. Now that it’s been updated for iPhone and the newer iOS I can still enjoy it now. This game is a great kind of zone out and chill game. I love it.
