Are you smart enough to solve the puzzle and colonize Mars? To Mars is a unique retro puzzle / simulation of the soon-to-come real life colonization of Mars; it's fun to play, easy to learn, but very difficult to solve. You have 60 seconds to load all four stages of your rocket with the correct amounts of fuel components, food, and people to colonize Mars. Over the course of the next two minutes, your team of astronauts will lift off from Earth, travel to Mars, touchdown on Mars, and build a new home on the red planet! Calculate the Hydrogen / Oxygen fuel mixture to get from Earth into solar orbit. Determine when to start your deceleration burns from deep space into Mars orbit and for a perfect landing on Mars. Build greenhouses and water mines to generate life sustaining resources. All without running out of supplied resources along the way. If you choose wisely, listen carefully to hints from ground control and the ships captain, watch your resource levels, and learn from your mistakes, you can colonize Mars! Make a wrong decision, however, and leave your ship damaged, floating through space, or stranded, with your crew of astronauts left in cryo-sleep, waiting for rescue. Follow the Red Roadster and Occupy Mars!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: To Mars at 100% against VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy's 46%. To Mars also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 22) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 6). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy has 1.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of To Mars's written reviews are positive against 46% of VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

To Mars ships an update every 3 weeks, VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
