Yes there is a setting to turn them off, no it doesn’t work. I decided to purchase the conspiracy pack, received nothing and the money is gone. Too many ads was one thing but actually stealing money is a major dbag move. ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-08-10, version 6.51* 90 seconds ads are justified but a 5 minute one? Definitely not. ### 3/5 — don’t ever spend money *2026-07-27, version 6.51* i had previously paid for a genesis point pass, and received absolutely nothing ### 4/5 — great game! But it takes a while *2026-07-19, version 6.51* I really like it but some things are not that good like WHY SO MANY ADDS and I can see how some people wouldn’t like this, but try it first. ### 5/5 — Please add the Gliese 581 system *2026-07-16, version 6.51* These planets are famous, Gliese 581g and d are potentially habitable, please make Gliese 581b (its jovian in real life) a thick atmosphere. Also since they are so big in real life, try rescaling them to class IV - V. Make Gliese 581e a barren ~800 k desert with no atmosphere, Gliese 581b a huge blue atmosphere, Gliese 581c a grey ~340 k desert, Gliese 581g having water, a ~271 k temp, but too much oxygen (535,345 ppm), Gliese 581d being a lot like a mega-Raumoko, mostly ocean, thick teal atmosphere with darker and lighter bands, Gliese 581f mega earth a lot like Ragnarok except no atmosphere. Add fissure vents to f, and they act like Ragnarok’s except a bit tamer. Size: Gliese 581e - IV Gliese 581b - V Gliese 581c - IV Gliese 581g - IV Gliese 581d - IV Gliese 581f - V. Real life size, from smallest to biggest: Gliese 581e, Gliese 581g, Gliese 581d, Gliese 581c, Gliese 581f, Gliese 581b. Thank you, have a great day and I would love if you added these. Your game is awesome, I play every day and it would be wonderful if you could add these world like you did with TRAPPIST-1. Orbit order: e, b, c, g, d, f. Gliese 581e, b, c too hot, g, d are ok except some stuff, f too cold. ### 4/5 — Mejoras y bugs *2026-07-03, version 6.51* El juego es increible y siento que deberian añadir mas cosas, como mas campañas, mas variacion de nubes, o colores de vegetación dependiendo de la estrella, o hacer una version customizada de los planetas aleatorios y mejorar mas el Biosferas. Otro dato que debo decir es que en la version actual la 5.61 tiene un bug donde las especies de la biosfera no desaparecen al estar extintos y es una molestia porque esas especies consumen sustento aunque esten extintas y deberian arreglar eso porque arruina la experiencia. ### 5/5 — TerraGenesis *2026-07-03, version 6.51* Hi Edgeworks team! I love TerraGenesis, but here are some ideas to make the terraforming challenges even better: 1. The Haumea Rotation Challenge: Please add the dwarf planet Haumea with its real oval shape. It would be an amazing challenge to try to balance its atmosphere and water oceans while dealing with its extreme 4-hour rotation speed and centrifugal force! 2. The Kuiper Belt Expansion: Please include missing dwarf planets like Eris, Makemake, and Sedna as playable worlds to terraform. 3. The Hidden Planet X: Add a secret campaign to find and terraform the mysterious Planet X in the outer edges of the solar system, where sunlight is extremely low. 4. Interactive Space Stations: Let us place visible, interactive orbital structures around our planets, like the ISS, to help manage atmospheric levels from space. Thanks! ### 5/5 — One of the best developed, and truly unique games out there *2026-07-02, version 6.51* Great job devs, love this game. Would enjoy if you could more visually see the cities you make and the structures you build but thats a luxury overall this is a 10/10 ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-25, version 6.51* Awesome graphics very fun and it’s very calming. Honestly, this game deserves to be the number one game. It is so fun in my opinion. ### 3/5 — Can you add a reset button pls *2026-06-25, version 6.51* Because mars has flooded with lava ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-24, version 6.51* Picked it back up. Still cool ### 3/5 — Fun game, pop ups fkkn ruin it *2026-06-21, version 6.51* Even if you pay extra you end up with pop ups “transmissions” that block buttons so you don’t have a choice but to click. Yes there is a setting to turn them off, no it doesn’t work. Just let me play the game dude. ### 5/5 — Love the game *2026-06-15, version 6.51* It’s so addictive ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2026-06-14, version 6.51* Wonderful, realistic enough to be challenging yet still fun to play. You see results as they happen, really quite an amazing game! ### 5/5 — 神ゲー *2026-06-14* 広告は基本報酬を手に入れる事意外は一切ないし、暇つぶしにも、放置しながらでもできるし、色々コツが分かったらハマる！1度はやってみてほしい　自分は宇宙好きだったから凄いハマった！楽しい！ ### 5/5 — Good game but… *2026-06-11, version 6.51* This is a very good game but can you make it to see your cities closer. ### 5/5 — Cool ig *2026-06-08, version 6.51* Cool game overall, would be nice with less people in app purchases though. ### 5/5 — The app… *2026-06-08, version 6.51* The app if fun to do but the ads to get rewards are like 5 minutes long and you can’t skip them it’s wasted time but over all if you don’t watch ads then your not wasting time. You don’t need to watch the ads ### 5/5 — A real game *2026-06-06, version 6.51* A very special and deep game. Please keep developing it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game stucks *2026-06-24, version 6.51* Game stucks at opening ### 1/5 — Do better *2026-06-02, version 6.51* Make it cooler so then you don’t scam people and then you may get more people in the game oh yeah a make it a lot better ### 1/5 — Fun game, BS ads *2026-04-22, version 6.42* Deleting solely for the fact that this is an ad machine which hosts ads for Kalshi and featuring known white supremacist Tim Pool. Disgusting. ### 1/5 — Time *2026-04-11, version 6.40* I don’t like that you have to wait a lot of time for everything to finish.. ### 1/5 — Forced tutorial *2026-03-30, version 6.38* The first 15 minutes is just a forced tutorial. No way to skip it. Not sure why they taught a forced tutorial was a good idea. It didn’t used to be that way, you used to be able to just start. I guess they thought there is no way anyone could figure it out, and there was no way someone who already played this game would redownload this years later. ### 1/5 — Abandoned, broken store *2026-03-09, version 6.38* BEWARE. If you have a problem in the game, the developers will not respond to you. I once made an in-app purchase, was charged for it, and didn’t receive what I paid for. Opened a ticket, no response from the developer. ### 1/5 — Predatory ads *2026-03-08, version 6.38* The game is ok, but the ads automatically opening my AppStore have got to go. Even the less predatory ones are awful because they are long and I have to hit like five buttons to close the ad when it’s done. ### 1/5 — 、 *2026-03-07, version 6.38* 何故か私だけ遊べませんよくあることなのですかこのゲーム結構たのしみだったので残念です ### 1/5 — What the heck happened to this game? *2026-03-07, version 6.38* I used to love this game. Just reinstalled it. Pop ups for adds every couple seconds, bought the vip pass and it didn’t work at all. How is the shop you pay real money in the most glitchy part of this game? ### 1/5 — Money Grab *2026-03-01, version 6.38* The incoming transmissions on the top of the screen is constantly showing up after almost every 3-5 seconds. It’s blocking the amount of money I have and other stats. In order to remove that incoming transmission banner, I’ll have to pay(which of course I didn’t do), so this game used to be the best Mars terraforming game ever, but now it’s just a stupid money grabber in which are just developed by greedy game developers. Disappointed… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good. *2026-08-09, version 6.51* Update: Temporarily offload Star trek: Legends for storage, I run out of storage and currently not subscribed to Arcade for financial issues. I completed the free ones and the event is fun. I would purchase or purchase through other apps to payback when I could have enough in the future. I was on my older version device playing this game, then I was frustrated to update some apps because they of VPN issues I clicked it by mistake then my older device couldn’t open it anymore since it would launch crashed so I decided to uninstall it until my newer device has enough storage to install. ### 5/5 — Sound Track *2026-08-07, version 6.51* Sound track is amazing! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-07-28, version 6.51* This game is the best but could do a few things in common. Idea 1: decrease starting pressure on Venus by 2,000,000 pa because it takes way too long for me to decrease pressure Idea 2: adding planets that do not come through the planet generator Idea 3: Add All Gas and ice giants as terrestrial planets with thick atmospheres ### 5/5 — TerraGenesis *2026-07-27, version 6.51* Fun game that I’ve ever played! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-07-26, version 6.51* This game is the best but only has to decrease starting pressure on Venus by 2,000,000 pa ### 5/5 — How I love this game *2026-07-26, version 6.51* It’s not just about Terraforming planets is a game that is so satisfying I always wait for the timer to go up while I’m gone, they give me more credits ### 5/5 — Addicting and educational *2026-07-24, version 6.51* This game is very witty. You really need to understand it all. Not just a game but science at its best. I hope they can still develop it. I played this game more than 5 years ago and playing it again because it’s a game you can never forget and nothing else is like it. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal game *2026-07-23, version 6.51* One of my favorite games of all time ### 5/5 — Guide+review *2026-07-22, version 6.51* Mars, normal diff, biosphere, horizon corp 1: research to silver, 1 outpost, silver+iron mines, scan for all good spots, max upgrades; city, upgrade settlement; afk overnight *SHOULD HAVE 10M+ IF DONE RIGHT* 2: research palladium, +outpost, palladium+silver mines, find all possible spots, max upgrade; research hab complex; afk for around 3 hours *SHOULD HAVE 5M+ MORE* 3: start developing cities and research and good to go #Don’t overbuild pressure and oxygen vents as it overdoes and you gotta decrease it which is annoying, research pressure then oxygen then water, max water research if possible, build 1-2species with extreme environmental tolerances to start with than go into more supportive species to build a working ecosystem Review: This game is fantastic, simple yet hard to get bored with, you can put it down and pick it up whenever you want, leaving my study time undisturbed, I recommend a realistic difficulty game mode where you can see your build just like in the Landfall version of this game in more detail ### 5/5 — Nostalgia and Quality is a good mix *2026-07-18, version 6.51* I feel so nostalgic playing this game, I remember years ago I turned mars into a lava planet with my zero knowledge of the game 🥹 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
