### 5/5 — Update Suggestion

*2026-08-22, version 1.3.25*

Lets colonize the Moon!!!

### 1/5 — Play this if you love ads

*2026-08-18, version 1.3.25*

Constant ads, almost no gameplay or anything of interest.  Free is too expensive to play this junk

### 5/5 — Movie

*2026-08-18, version 1.3.25*

This is for the ketchapp game company specifically I was thinking how cool it would be if all the games were turned into a movie where there is a character and she travels to different worlds but each world is a different game and the only way she can make it back home is if she can complete all the challenges

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-08-12, version 1.3.25*

Game is riddled with ads with no option to pay for ad free and there is a horrible plateau once you colonize mars. Your only options are to do a million runs to get enough money for a single upgrade or fly a million men to mars just bad 👎

### 2/5 — Cool game if you like Ads

*2026-07-12, version 1.3.24*

The game itself is ok. Never seen a game with this many ads. There isn’t a single frame where there isn’t an ad. And you get sodomized with an ad almost every time you complete a launch.

### 5/5 — Stop Calling Me Elon

*2026-05-19, version 1.3.23*

Honestly, that’s the worst thing about this game. When this game was new he said he’d send a manned mission to Mars by now. Obviously that hasn’t happened and isn’t even close to happening so calling someone Elon after an in-game achievement isn’t much of a compliment.

### 1/5 — This is boring

*2026-04-11, version 1.3.23*

Okay,so you have to press the rocket and you just see your height i want like an altitude showing and you can control your rocket and NO ADS PLEASE!!!!!!

### 4/5 — Could you update Phases?

*2026-03-31, version 1.3.23*

I understand this is unrelated to Space Frontier, but I hope you can see this review as Space Frontier was updated recently. 

I can still download the game, even if it’s no longer in the Apple Store, and it does launch. Phases however constantly crashes. I can’t go five seconds before the game is forcefully closed without fail. 

Could you fix this?

### 4/5 — Fun but basic

*2026-03-16, version 1.3.23*

It’s really fun but just kind of basic. I know you made a second one but really should add some improvements in this game.

### 1/5 — 0

*2026-03-03, version 1.3.23*

The most common type is a same rotket
