I had this app for a while, and then deleted it to save space because I wasn't using the game anymore. I recently came back to it, and have been playing a lot. I was working on terraforming both Mercury and the Moon almost simultaneously, and had just about finished Moon. All I needed was some more water, as sea levels were just barely above minimum for habitability, and population to get Culture Points to reach 100% independence. However, I came back today and was hit in total with the "time traveler" event a total of 5 times within several minutes. For those unaware of the nature of the event, it stems from cheating by changing the time on your device. However, I was not cheating in any way and have hardly even been on my phone today. I went from a near-perfectly terraformed Moon with an almost perfect ecosystem to a Moon with over 2,000,000 pressure and total mass extinction of all my 20+ species, not to mention other terribly affected statistics (surprisingly though, oxygen was only a little over 1,000 ppm away from perfect). To top it off, my credits went from around 50,000,000 to 100,000 in a matter of minutes. I understand that the point of this event is to prevent cheating, but by randomly activating without me cheating all it has accomplished is driving away me and my money I was once considering spending on more worlds than the basic three you start off with.

When I saw this game allowing players to use scientific reasoning to terraform planets, I downloaded immediately and spent a day carefully terraforming Mars. I am an environmental scientist who studies algae, so naturally I ate up all of the references to algae terraforming powers.

Now that I am nearly done with Mars, I don’t feel as if there is anything more that I want to do. I wish this game was more complicated to make it replayable. Even starting with a vastly different planet, the strategy is basically the same. I hope that this game will add more features as it develops. I could see a PC version of this where you can see the cities grow and change with architecture styles and building choices, the genetically engineered animals and plants you unleash on the surface, etc.

Some suggestions I have for new indexes are a happiness index increased with entertainment buildings, room in habitations, governor popularity, and whether they eat fruits and vegetables or just plain algae. Maybe plagues and starvation could decimate populations unless you have contingency plans in place. When oxygen rises, temperature should decrease. There could be volcanic eruptions. Maybe you can’t choose governors,but they are randomly elected once an out of game day. You should have the ability to set up natural parks. I just need more choices to make.

If you’re someone who really loves watching progress happen in simulation games, then this is probably one of the most satisfying games you’ll play. After working for days to set up Mars for sustainable human life, I saw greenery spreading for the first time. I was mesmerized, watching it start from the shorelines and spread inland. And then coming back later to see that as the greenery thickened, it grew darker as well was pleasing.

My only downside is the time. This game requires you to be punctual if you don’t want to spend a lot of time undoing what you should have cams back for earlier to stabilize. I didn’t realize this in the beginning and turned Mars into a gas giant. It took so long to come back from that that it would have actually been better off to restart the game. Now I’m at the point where humans are living amongst Mars life freely, but I’ll be waiting a long time before I finally achieve victory because I put very few culture points into independence before. Now I just have to stabilize everything for the next few days while I wait for enough people to live on the planet before I can claim victory and am able to move on to other planets.

All in all, it’s a great game. Just make sure you pay attention to when you need to log back in to change things, or it’s gonna become a never ending nightmare.
