Humanity did not build one ark. It broadcast seed ships across the stars. Earth is gone. In a final act of survival, humanity scattered colony vessels carrying frozen colonists, cultural archives, and the tools to begin again. You guide the last seed ship still crossing deep space, searching for a world where the mission can take root. EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN Each voyage is procedurally generated. No two runs are the same. Discover planets with unique atmospheres, resources, gravity, radiation, biodiversity, and more — over 42 distinct surface features shape every landing. MAKE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES Encounter over 167 narrative events with 400+ branching choices — asteroid fields, alien signals, derelict ships, crew conflicts, and cascading system malfunctions. There are no perfect answers, only trade-offs. MANAGE SHIP SYSTEMS Monitor 14 interconnected systems: hull integrity, navigation, cryopods, shields, culture archive, technology, constructors, landing gear, and six scanner subsystems. Your choices also shape your colony's ideology. SCAN AND EVALUATE WORLDS Deploy your scanner array on each planet. Watch the scan line reveal atmospheric composition, temperature, water coverage, gravity, radiation levels, and hidden anomalies — but readings can deceive. BUILD YOUR LEGACY Legacy Points earned from each voyage carry over. Unlock permanent upgrades: reinforced hulls, advanced scanners, warp navigation, and more.

Two more ad partners, InMobi and ironSource, can now compete for ad slots. Premium remains ad-free, and existing privacy choices are respected. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-20 The Alien Trader and voyage screens have a refreshed look: every ship system has its own icon and color, the status pills carry those colors on every screen, and the trader lays out side by side on phones held sideways. Two events gained visuals: the Ship's Anniversary card shows the ship coasting with Sol far astern, and Dreams in Cold Storage now shows the cryobay itself behind its telemetry, with the traces reacting to your decision. Event text has been revised throughout. Outcomes now say what actually happened to your crew, systems, and supplies, and narratives no longer recite the choices before you make them. Scanner upgrades are offered every second planet instead of every third. Small phones such as the iPhone 13 mini no longer show an ad on the voyage screen. Premium remains ad-free, and existing privacy choices are respected. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-16 Eight new early-voyage events bring more variety to the opening encounters. Colony chronicles and ending reports are clearer, less repetitive, and better reflect your colony's history, with updated translations. This update also includes improved small-phone status layouts, fixes for optional Skeleton Crew rewarded-ad activation, and iOS diagnostics improvements. Premium remains ad-free, and existing privacy choices are respected. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-15 Fixed an iOS issue that could make every planet invisible, and fixed events keeping the wrong language after changing Settings or resuming a voyage. Bug reporting is more reliable: if sending fails, your draft stays open so you can retry without retyping it. Explore richer moon surfaces, clearer star-chart routes and an improved title menu. This update also adds event sounds and optional captions, improves saved-voyage and Legacy progression recovery, and fixes purchase feedback, leaderboard preferences and audio playback. ### 1.0 — 2026-09-14 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Stellar Broadcast | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Pilots: Ascension](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pilots-ascension/id6780322889) | 5.0 (5) | $0.99 | Games | | [Character Gen for 1st Ed DnD](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/character-gen-for-1st-ed-dnd/id1437060552) | 4.0 (10) | Free | Games | | [Hyperforma Premium](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hyperforma-premium/id1296875300) | 4.8 (921) | $4.99 | Games | | [Whispers from the Star](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/whispers-from-the-star/id6743071754) | 4.4 (115) | $4.99 | Games | | [PARALLAX: Interactive Fiction](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/parallax-interactive-fiction/id1141858570) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Games | | [Serania](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/serania/id1379112478) | 4.6 (157) | Free | Games | ## Related topics [exploration games](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/exploration-games) · [starburst incremental](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/starburst-incremental) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
