Build a great city in this vertical city builder in space! Gather resources, then build and research your way to a better future! Grow your city from an exploration ship to a huge metropolis, full of advanced technology. What will you build? The earth has been destroyed, and it's up to your space colony on a tiny world to save humanity! Can you feed, house and entertain everyone and then build the city of your dreams? - Features • Build a huge city with thousands of inhabitants, all fully simulated! • Over fifty different buildings to discover! • Great, fully original music by Stijn Cappetijn! • Discover the story in scenarios, or go wild in Free Play or Sandbox mode. • There might even be a secret society... - Build What You Want! With many different buildings, you can design the city you want. Will it be a green hippie paradise full of gardens, a huge party, or one big factory? Will your colony be a single, enormous building or will you spread it out over hundreds of worlds? Does your transport consist of efficient teleporters or a chaotic mess of landing pads? It's all your choice! There's plenty to discover in The Final Earth 2, including hackers, hippies and even a secret society. There are way over fifty buildings to find and more coming in the future, including some truly sci-fi (science fiction) inventions! - Manage Your Colony! With useful features like worker assignment, production graphs, boosting building upgrades and building modes, you can manage your space colony to make it as optimal as you want and make your citizens happy! Organize festivals for a huge additional boost! - Sit Back and Enjoy Your City! After you've built a huge city, sit back and see it in action for a while. It's like watching an ant colony! You can also follow any citizen to make this even more fun. Find the person with the craziest commute, or discover hidden details like a stargazer. - Story It's 2142, and earth is a wasteland. You built a space ship, but now your food is running out. Fortunately, you see a world just in time. It is a bit small, but certainly better than nothing. You build some farms and houses, and fulfill the basic needs of your citizens. Then, it's time to build the true city of the future! Research advanced technology and make your city grow to a huge metropolis. When your tiny world gets too small, fly to other worlds with space ships, or even build teleporters. - Updates are coming! I'm still working on The Final Earth 2, so you can be sure this colony builder / city builder will become even better in the future! - No intrusive ads! The amount of ads is very limited and they're only placed at natural break points. You can also remove all ads or get the premium version with extra features as an one-time purchase! - A proper city builder While this can definitively be seen as an incremental game as there are many things to discover, this is not just an idle city builder with days-long timers and microtransactions all the time. You can't lose, but active play is definitively rewarded. The web version of The Final Earth 2 has been played by millions of people, won the Kongregate June 2019 contest and was described by MakeUseOf as one of the best browser-based city building games available at the current time; I hope you'll enjoy the game on your iPhone or iPad as well! Have fun and I'm happy to hear what you think! ## Key features - Vertical city building in space - Resource gathering and research - Thousands of simulated inhabitants - Over fifty unique buildings - Scenario, Free Play, and Sandbox modes - Worker assignment and production graphs - Citizen tracking and observation ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Premium Upgrade | $2.99 | one-time | | Remove Ads | $4.99 | one-time | | Premium | $8.99 | one-time | ## What do users think of The Final Earth 2?

Best use of a few bucks to kill time on commutes or on the couch. Only complaint is I wish there were more missions and maybe some more unique buildings/scenario conditions to make each map feel different from the others. That said, I’ve got a few dozen hours out of this you should too! ### 5/5 — a *2026-06-26, version 1.0.66* Pretty wicked game,but I wish there is more content to this potential of a game there should be a mode of colonizing other islands or even a option to ### 5/5 — One minor issue on my side *2026-05-28, version 1.0.66* At the exact time of downloading I wanted to go straight to buying premium but the store’s down for me on my phone, if there’s anything that might be or if it’s an error, please let me know. ### 5/5 — Literally the best *2026-05-24, version 1.0.66* This game is like a space of comfort for me, it’s brought me so much peace ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-05-12, version 1.0.66* I used to love playing this on cool math games when I was younger.

Macht Spaß zu bauen und dem wusseligen Treiben zu zusehen 😅 Tolles Game um sich die Zeit zu vertreiben. Kann ewig auf dem Handy bleiben… eigenes Spieltempo… kein nerviger Zeit/Eventdruck.. und sehr charmante Stimmung /Musik im Game… ich mochte das Spiel schon nach einer halben Stunde Spielzeit 👍Endlos Game… absolut zum Empfehlen… extrem hoher Wiederspielwert und Suchtgefahr. ### 1/5 — Why ads? *2026-04-18, version 1.0.66* The game is actually really fun. The only reason I hate it is the forced ad money model. After almost every task completion, an ad pops up. Annoying as hell. ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2026-04-09, version 1.0.66* I come back to this game every couple years because it resonates with me. I love the dynamic of inhabiting a space island and building cities with various components to create innovation and happiness for my citizens. I also like following individual citizens with names I like and switching to fitting jobs and the nicest homes. Great game. 10/10! ## Frequently asked questions about The Final Earth 2 ### What is The Final Earth 2: Colony Sim about? The Final Earth 2 is a vertical city builder game set in space.
