The year is 2314. When a tiny asteroid falls to earth in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it brings with it a MYSTERIOUS ALIEN VIRUS. Over the next few months, farmers and scientists around the world begin to notice a curious phenomenon - mushrooms are turning black, and dying!

As world mushroom stocks run low, stock markets plummet, and governments appeal for calm as protests become riots.

Now, a cabal of the world's most powerful restaurateurs meet in secret. Their goal - to create a private space programme to seek out new supplies of mushrooms, wherever they may be found!

Features:
* Make your fortune at the edge of the galaxy!
* Explore uncharted asteroids with oddly geometric shapes!
* Investigate strange volcanic activity and harness the power of huge mutant mushrooms!
* Invest in the latest space-age technology, including Energy Saving Lightbulbs and the GIANT SPACE DEATH LASER!
* Compete against 5 bonkers opponents!
* Fun retro graphics!
* Awesome positional sound effects!
* 9 fun (but challenging) maps!

### 5/5 — Enjoyable !

*2026-01-18, version 1.1.4*

Love playing it but why isn’t Space Harvest 2 available for IPhone :(

### 5/5 — A great game then and a great game now

*2025-09-04, version 1.1.4*

I first played this game years and years ago when I was a child and it was super entertaining, easy to play while also being the perfect amount of difficult.
Every now and then I’ll remember this game and have now played through it many times (each time just as good as the last).
Highly recommend! My only wish is if space harvest 2 had come out on the iPhone :(

### 5/5 — please make the sequel available

*2024-04-18, version 1.1.4*

I love this game and i want to play space harvest 2 but when i try to get it by searching it up it won’t show up and when i press the button through google it just tells me the game isn’t available in my state or region so can you make this game available in the U.S.?

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2021-10-09, version 1.1.4*

Super addicting game. The controls are kind of dumb though

### 5/5 — É legal zinho

*2021-08-16, version 1.1.4*

Só precisa de mais mecânicas de gameplay

### 4/5 — Solid game mechanics, lots of room for improvement

*2020-11-12, version 1.1.4*

Good: tough but fair campaign that gradually increases capability and difficulty, flimsy storyline but very fun on the balance. Some levels are brutal until you crack what the game wants you to do, other levels are easily overcome with an OP tech tree. Though honestly? I wanted more.

Rough Edges: gameplay isn’t very balanced, but with so few moving pieces, I can’t be sure if I want to see it as an oversight or as a challenge. Path finding is only ok, and the mining units often lose focus. Tapping on the screen to get exactly what you want has a steep learning curve and the frustration never really goes away. In fact many units leave things unfinished and because the path finding and grouping is so poor, larger scale troop battles have to be tightly micro’d to be effective, and even then it’s a toss up.

Notes: there was a sequel made, it looks cool, but it’s not out on the iPhone.

Final thoughts: worth your time, no micro transactions, looking forward to more from this dev. I’d have given it 3 stars for the cons, but the game really was fun. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Not diverse

*2020-10-17, version 1.1.4*

The characters are not diverse enough! They are virtually all blacks. As an Asian person, I want more Asians and White people in the game!

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing

*2020-10-04, version 1.1.4*

One of the most unique RTS games currently on the App Store, reminds me a little of Command & Conquer. I don’t exaggerate when I say this is truly a hidden gem. The difficulty, story, charm... everyone’s honestly perfect!

My only complaint is that there’s not a sequel! (It would also be nice to have a free for all/Sandbox mode)

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-05-28, version 1.1.4*

I beat the game in a week or so (level 8 took forever) it be cool if there was a free for all or custom match, but other than that it’s a great game.

### 4/5 — It's a gem.

*2020-03-15, version 1.1.4*

This game aged quite well.
