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!
