Year 2089. Earth is exhausted, and a small group of explorers lands on Mars with one mission: turn the red planet into a new home. In Colonia Ares you run the base. Build modules, keep oxygen, water, food and energy flowing, and look after the people who live there: every colonist has a name, a job, a personality and friendships. • BUILD AND UPGRADE: solar panels, oxygen generators, greenhouses, labs, batteries, reactors… more than twenty modules with three levels each. • CARE FOR YOUR PEOPLE: colonists get tired, miss Earth, fall ill or argue. If they stay unhappy for too long, they may leave. • SURVIVE MARS: dust storms, breakdowns, day and night, and tight resources. • RESEARCH: a technology tree with four branches to unlock new modules and upgrades. • REQUESTS FROM EARTH: complete timed orders and build streaks to earn more. • EXPLORE THE SOLAR SYSTEM: build the Ares I ship and send expeditions to Phobos, Deimos, the asteroids, Ceres and Europa. • TWO COLONIES: found an outpost on Phobos, mine crystals and connect both colonies with cargo routes. • TRADE: sell your surplus to Earth and buy what Mars can't make. • TERRAFORM: raise habitability to 100% and watch the planet change colour and fill with life. • KEEPS GOING WITHOUT YOU: the colony keeps working while the game is closed, and you never lose everything at once. Pixel art, relaxing music and play at your own pace – in English, Spanish and German. Ads are always optional: you only watch one if you want help (speed up a build, fix a breakdown…). The one-time "No ads" purchase gives you the same help without watching ads.
