### 3/5 — Please update for iOS 11

*2017-12-01*

No longer works since iOS 11, please update it

### 1/5 — 金だけ取られてインストールされない

金返して

### 4/5 — interesting puzzle

*2017-02-22*

thought provoking and not like a normal game, makes you return to try to get all the outcomes

### 5/5 — Deep. Space.

*2015-09-12*

I love space and its infinite wonder. So like to see more games & apps like this one. 

It's ridiculously simple. One adds objects like planets, gas and asteroids as well as the option to age the star. Various sequences of ingredients produce 15 different possibilities. But you can also add intelligent life into the mix - Biological, Artificial and MetaPhysical. Who will rule the Galaxy? How will the Galaxy end? 

Because I don't see cool things like meteors being mined, non-corporeal life, supernovas or pulsars in almost any app, I give it 5 Stars. Graphics are cool. 

This little app thinks big. I got my dollar out of it. I'd like to see this game expanded by adding more "stuff" like different gasses or metals (like iron into a star) and other strange and celestial objects or life to reveal more far-out realities!

### 5/5 — 楽しかった

*2014-11-06*

恐らく全ての実績を確認したと思います。しかし一つだけ解除できなかったものがあります。全能という実績ですが、恐らくゲーム中では全てを含むと出て終わるのがそうなのだと思いますが、解除されませんでした。

### 1/5 — Review

*2014-05-23*

It has potential but not worth it

### 1/5 — はい？

*2014-05-21*

つまんね〜！せめてやり方くらい教えろよ

### 1/5 — Horrible waste of time and money

*2014-05-14*

I thought from the description that this would be an awesome twist on an evo/simulation program. This is far from awesome. Boring, useless and poorly developed are three accurate depictions of this app. Don't waste the buck.
