Aged very well
Played this game when I was a kid has aged super well
Cured arachnophobia!
Way back when …. I discovered this game and LOVED it. I swear for immersion therapy it worked great- I really wanted to complete the game even though the “spiders” terrified me … and so I stuck with it! Now I can at least look at a spirder irl without screaming as if it were attacking me even though it is just sitting there surviving lol. About the game— it truly is a game I would still be playing today if my device would let me! I love the premise and story and it is really is alot of fun:) Maybe one day I will find my old ipad and I bet it will still be on it to play! Ty devs for a great game:)

Wonderful game play and experience
Great game wish they made sequel or something. Type of game you will play a few times per year after year.
Predatory tactics by a wannabe mobile arcade monopoly “gameclub”
The game is listed as “free” on the app store, but it isn’t. As a pathetic attempt to advertise their subscription service for a handful of mobile games, they paywall practically the entirety of the game.
Terrible.
Because of game club you have to pay a subscription to play it and in my opinion having to pay a subscription just to play a game is already a terrible idea but also, they pretty much waste your time if you aren’t willing to pay because there is no obvious warning that you will have to be part of game club and even once you download it, it only tells you that after the opening cut scene if they wanted to make people pay to play it, they either should’ve just made a paid game or at least put a warning so people who aren’t willing to pay aren’t just going to end up wasting their cellular data and time downloading something. Another thing they could’ve easily done was just do what some other games do witches have a free version where you can only play a bit of the game but it’s enough to let you know if you want to pay the subscription rather than doing what they ended up doing, which is just a bad idea.

RUINED thanks to gameclub
I used to LOVE this game! I played it on my ipad all the time! The gameplay is incredible, love the sound design— this game is perfect…
…Or, WAS perfect. Once Gameclub got this game, they make you pay a subscription to play it. I just tried downloading it on my iphone and I WASTED a bunch of my cellular data to download a game that I did not recognize at all. They make you log in or get a subscription just to start the game! What they SHOULD have done (and I would be fine with this) is allow you to play the game for free, no subscription or trial, but have ads whenever you enter another chamber. But no, they make you have a subscription. I am not about to pay $5 a month just to play my favorite mobile game ever. I’m just glad I managed to get 100% on my game before Gameclub got hold of it.
And no, I do not want to get any of the free mobile games. Most of them are scams/shameless repeats and the rest are just moronic. This was one of the few games that was actually good on ios, now it is just ruined.
Thanks SO much, Gameclub. I would rate this 0 stars if I could.

Thank you Gameclub
Thank you GameClub, for ruining an amazing game.
WOULD be great except…
THOSE ANNOYING CONTROLS!!!
You have to control your character by having him follow your finger, so your finger/hand is mostly covering the screen a lot of the time & it makes it very difficult to see what you’re doing, not to mention that it causes him to move randomly, especially since we’re all used to “joystick” touchscreen controls. Plus, there’s that “map”, or the mostly red screen with a couple of super tiny scribbles on it way off to the side with some lines overtop & a (comparatively) big circle showing where you are but it’s completely blocking your immediate route, then there’s that extra line leading off somewhere & just stops. Oh, & just try zooming in 🤨🙄; it barely does anything & it doesn’t even hold itself, you have to keep holding the “zoom” that’s still covered anyway by that circle showing your location. And of course, no legend explaining any of it. Should have thought all that through before you released the game.
I would say it’s still worth it, but not if you’re easily frustrated.

Waking mars
Waking Mars is a unique and brilliant game that gives you the true feeling of exploring Mars. Also contains a deep strategic game for which there is no equal
Have to join an APPLE club before you play it
You have to join an APPLE club before you can play it,why,didnt even try it as that sounded dodgy so uninstalled,BEWARE,THIS IS AN APPLE GAME
Curious...
Phenomenal game. Even all these years later. Wondering if anyone knows what the total biomass available is? I achieved a 33,805 total biomass and a core power 72, which I believe is max for core power. Anyone know what the maximum would be for biomass?
Pay 2 win
I harmte pay 2 win games they sucker you i to thinking the game is free and then you realize its not at leadt set a price on the app.
Used to be good before Gameclub got it
If you really want to play Waking Mars, and you dont mind playing on desktop instead of mobile, then the same exact game is available on Steam without needing a stupid “subscription”. Literally the the only difference between them is the controls. Otherwise the steam version shares the exact same story, art and alien ecosystem.
That said Waking Mars was a fun game years ago, now it forces new users to get a stupid subscription, while spamming older users begging them to try their dumb service.

I purchased this game, now I need a subscription to play.
Too bad.
I LOVED this game! Hate phony constant “updates”!
I really hope the devs add more content. Pleeeeease? Give us another planet or area on the current map to explore? Please please please?
But STOP issuing “updates” just so you can beg us to join your Game Club! I don’t know about anyone else but with me it has the opposite effect; it’s an absolute turn-off. I lowered my rating because you are misusing the update notifications.

Requires $5 a month to play— NO THANKS!
We’ve all seen this one before—subscribe for the first free month and then go thru endless HELL trying to cancel. No way. You can take your precious ‘GameClub’ and shove it!
Blah
U get 15 mins of play tome then u have to pay every month
Poor format for a game service
Game club is a clunky, money hungry platform. The only free games are 15 minute long trials that are poor quality anyways. I didn’t play for long but from what I experienced it was very not worth the subscription you would have to pay.
Subscription
I wasn't able to play it due to the “GameClub subscription” which kept me from playing, which I find to be annoying.
A fun journey.
I have enjoyed this game since it came out. It is a nice exploration of Mars.
