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!
