    The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being bombarded with ads both during and between game sessions, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads in free games, they argue that the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads make the game nearly unplayable, with some even experiencing crashes after watching ads. Overall, the monetization strategy is viewed as overly aggressive, detracting from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “The cherry on top of the cake is that it's free to play and free to win, a good example in a time of excessive monetization everywhere else.”
    • “I like monetization in that it pays those who worked hard on the game, but when it interferes with a core game mechanic it gets a little obnoxious.”
    • “On of the best game..no ads.. perfect”
    • “The sheer amount of ads simply drags this game down.”
    • “I get that developers need to make money, but you end up spending more time watching ads than you do playing the actual game.”
    • “The game is a very painful grind with a very obvious game design forcing you to watch ads.”
  • gameplay256 mentions

While some users find it fun and addictive initially, many express frustration over intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay, leading to a lack of depth and engagement. Overall, the game has potential but suffers from poor ad placement and limited mechanics, making it feel more like an ad platform than a fully developed game.

    • “Great immersive game with awesome graphics and unique gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and all, and easy to play (one-handed, so ideal toilet game).”
    • “The graphics and the art style of this game is beautiful and the gameplay is simple and really really fun!”
    • “The gameplay is boring and tedious.”
    • “Gameplay is virtually non-existent; if you like ads every 10 seconds, this is the game for you.”
    • “Ads pop up right in the middle of your gameplay, which is completely unacceptable in a timing-based game.”
  • graphics208 mentions

    Overall, the graphics of the game receive a mixed response from users. Many praise the visuals as stunning, beautiful, and immersive, highlighting the unique art style and attention to detail.

    • “In my opinion, the graphics are stunning and amazing.”

  • stability112 mentions

While the gameplay itself is enjoyable, the persistent bugs and glitches detract from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to fully engage with the game.

    • “It keeps running smoothly; it runs great!”
    • “The game is incredibly stable, with minimal crashes or bugs.”
    • “I've experienced consistent performance throughout my gameplay.”
    • “Countless times now, I get the 40k or 10k on the free spin, let alone lower amounts, watch the commercial to get the multiplier spin, and then it freezes, never giving me the coin I won. I have to restart my phone to unlock the game every time.”
    • “The overall game is fine, but when you watch an ad, the game freezes up and glitches. Often times, I have to close the app and I do not receive the award I watched an ad for.”
    • “Every time I watch an ad to get coins, my game freezes after the ad.”
  • story72 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with many players expressing a desire for additional missions and planets to explore beyond Mars and Europa. While the gameplay is considered fun and addictive, users feel that the absence of a compelling narrative or diverse objectives limits long-term engagement. Suggestions for improvement include incorporating real-life mission references, side quests, and more complex challenges to enhance the overall experience.

    • “It's the best game to play when I don't have the mental capacity to commit to a full storyline.”
    • “I would like to see it expanded with further missions in space.”
    • “It would be awesome if you could develop your colony in fun ways or do missions for it like bringing supplies or new habitats and watch it grow and then colonize other planets.”
    • “Nothing after flying to Europa; nothing different about each launch; no other mission types (just land on a new planet/moon); rockets just get more stages with each upgrade (making the game easier, not harder); no other rocket types with different advantages/disadvantages based on mission and duration.”
    • “Sorely needs additional goals or missions, not just reaching Mars. Add more space shuttles; it's too easy but very addictive. Please improve it, guys!”
    • “Mindless game, easy way of Ketchapp making money, boring after the first 10 minutes, no content added after the first update. Bugs: sound leaks even when muted in settings, specifically whenever you complete a mission, regardless of whether it's successful or not.”
  • music59 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the classical soundtrack and its emotional impact during key moments, such as rocket explosions and successful landings. However, a significant number of users are frustrated by persistent music playback even when sound settings are muted, detracting from the overall experience. While some find the music enjoyable and fitting, others feel it disrupts their gameplay, especially when trying to listen to their own music.

    • “When the rocket explodes, the sad music is heartbreaking.”
    • “I really liked this game, especially its challenges, and I freaking loved the classical soundtrack since I play violin (with Wagner, Tchaikovsky, and others - good on ya, devs!).”
    • “Great game, beautiful music, and good graphics.”
    • “The game is a fun and simple concept, but the ads popping up during gameplay, the ending music still playing even when sounds and music are disabled, and the constant video unavailability on the second spin screen really ruin the experience.”
    • “Whenever you're landing on a planet or blow up, the game overrides your sound off option and plays its music.”
    • “The only gripe I have is that I turned off the sound but still get success and failure music.”
  • grinding36 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players describing it as tedious, shallow, and overly reliant on ad-watching for progression. Many reviewers noted that while the initial gameplay can be enjoyable, it quickly devolves into a frustrating cycle of grinding with little reward or content, leading to a lack of motivation to continue. Overall, the grinding mechanics are seen as a significant drawback, detracting from the game's potential enjoyment.

    • “The game is really too short; it would be cool to have a lot more planets. Also, you have to watch ads to go further; grinding currency the normal way is simply impossible.”
    • “It's a fun game which quickly turns into an extremely frustrating game with so much grinding to do.”
    • “Didn't bother to play long enough because the game is not giving any goals besides populating Mars. After a few upgrades, it's not even challenging but just grinding, and populating Mars doesn't reward you. Passive income is so irrelevant it's pathetic.”
  • humor35 mentions

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with many players finding it funny and enjoyable, particularly for children.

    • “It's a quick fun game but no real replay value after you get all the achievements.”
    • “Virtually no replayability.”
    • “Very little replay value.”
    • “There's no new planets to achieve to extend the replay value, just the same planet over and over.”
