Good

At the start, it didn’t seem like a good game, but you really have to know how to play the game to actually enjoy if you wanna complex game I would definitely recommend this

New updates make it unplayable

How do you make a decent game worse? By ruining the UI, backup feature, resource ticker, etc. trying to restore old backups causes it to crash. The ticker is way different. Not worth playing anymore

Used to like this game, now this issue is making it unplayable for me :/

I’ve spent hours on this game and very much enjoyed zoning out and playing with my little colony. Unfortunately something in the game now makes it IMPOSSIBLE to play your own music while playing rhe game (at least if playing on iOS). I just want to listen to my music and play my game but since I can’t do both guess I’m gonna have to find a different game to play. I’ll give it 4 stars because it is a fun little colony simulation but not being able to choose my own music to zone out to is killing the vibe.

Update ruined mobile

New resource bar is awful, missing the ability to just see buildings as color coded tiles so you could build things behind taller buildings, new UI is just worse, please please please bring back a lot of the old UI elements from the older version On the bright side, getting rid of regions for larger maps is 1,000,000x better in every way.

To many bugs

Amazing game, the bug is a vary bad one. You dump hours into the game and you builder bots will just stop building and then you delete it but the game still thinks it there and then the bug makes the your resident house not work anymore. It’s really game breaking and you can progress any further ): until this is fixed I’ll not be playing anymore

It’s a great way to kill time

I also love the descriptions of certain things. Like the forest rover: “Somehow, science has figured out how to make a mechanical moving rover completely out of wood. Does it make sense? Does it matter? It’s a game!”

Worst update ever

instead of fixing the game it is worse, it sends me into my Home Screen EVERY TIME I LOAD A SAVE AND WON’T LET LOAD A BACKUP. WORST UPDATE EVER!!!!

Amazing game but unstable

At one point I would give it 5 stars no questions, but me being unable to play the game for almost a year makes me bring it down. Whether housing bugs, or the UI deciding to stop working, the game is a complete mess now. Not worth making a new colony just for a homeless bug to permenently destroy it all.

It was on the loading screen for an hour and when I finally managed to get into the game the first time a lot of assets were missing so I tried again and reinstalled it and all the assets were missing now I’ve been loading for over 2 hours and it hasn’t even taken me to the loading assets screen

★★☆☆☆ United States · v2.0.0 · 17 Sept 2025

Poorly optimized for extended play

It will consistently lag out and most of the time will nuke itself by being stuck in a no health/no jobs/no homes loop when you actually do. Other times your save file will just corrupt and it’ll all be just gone. Fun game but still runs poorly

Great game

For a mobile game, there is a lot of depth to the game, and the Dev actually fixes game breaking bugs. I love the amount of buildings and research in the game. I feel like there is just so much to do. And the fact that you can choose your faction or planet is great. if I had a single criticism, it would be that on certain planets, It is impossible to get certain resources, for example the red planet with United Earth has a huge amount of stuff that you can never get because you’re missing the specific resources. But all in all. I don’t think that is serious enough problem to drop below five stars. This game is great and I did not mind. Five bucks for the premium version it is worth it for the regions alone being able to build multiple cities in a region is a very cool game feature.

This game could be like Minecraft

This game is so well done and in depth. it has the potential to be like Minecraft but just due to game breaking bugs it has limitations. Seemingly every time I get a world very developed I keep running into a building glitch where bots will no longer build pretty much anything. At first I thought it was an issue with stacking builder bots but that did nothing now the bots will only drive up to where they are going to start building but then will go idle and won’t actually build anything. I know the dev is working on other games and this has seemingly been put on the back burner but this is the best game you’ve ever made it’s so one of a kind and in depth. Playing on iPhone 12.

Help I can’t collect resources

So I started the game, excited to finally not wait 10 hours to upgrade 1 thing. I followed the tutorial, but when the rover collects resources, it says it needs a raw materials depot. I built it and it said it still needed one. It says it needs one but there is one literally next to it. I’m not sure if I need to clarify something to the rover, but it’s not working. Someone please help.

What would it take?

I absolutely love the classic sim city on PC, however I. Haven’t played it in many years. I’m on only mobile games now. I’d like to say, you rock! I found (My Colony) and thought, my wife is going to hate how much I play THIS GAME. I played through the night, no sleep. I got all nostalgic playing, like an old feeling of comfort playing a game that’s so customizable like (My Colony) . Every time I learn new strategies, I want to start over and apply what I learned to an earlier place of progression than the previous one! Just one request! I say this playfully and nothing but love for ya. Please address the lagging. It would be amazing if we could use the mega map too! What would it take on IOS ? Could you code it differently or something? If not, maybe recommend the best Engine configuration to apply ? I’ve tweaked it a couple times, not really understanding what does what . Thanks man! Keep up the great work !! ;)

Builders not building

I loved the mobile game at first and played non stop for two days and got a university only the builders wouldn’t build, so I deleted it and tried to build in the same spot however a shadow of the previous build was still there and wouldn’t build, shortly after non of the bots would build,harvest or upgrade the game became laggy and colonists completely stopped working, I’ve played this game since the early pc days and never ran into this problem, what a shame.

Stuck!

Sometimes it crashes when trying to save but worse still, I accidentally pressed the home key and then jumped back to the game but it had to restart causing me to lose all progress for the last half hour! It NEEDS to auto save more frequently! Now stuck without aluminium - where is the aluminium? 😒

The Game Doesn’t Load

My iPad is compatible with this game. However, the loading screen lasts (for what I assume is) forever, never letting me in, and therefore, never letting me play the game. I gave it 2 stars because I do have some school-related VPNs installed, which may have prevented it from loading, and therefore, making it my fault, but I doubt it, because the VPN’s never done anything like this before.

Good but buggy

It’s a good game, great level of detail in the number of buildings and upgrades. But it’s just too buggy still. Main problem is saving- it often crashes when you try to save or even on the auto saves. Even if you successfully save your game, when you go back to continue play, the previous save doesn’t show, so it’s back to square one all over again. There are also occasions when you place buildings but they don’t get built, no matter that you have the resources and builders. Sometimes when you unlock research new buildings become available, but sometimes you never see the new buildings. I’d love to play this game more but just too frustrating.

It a good game

I love this game, it is good fun and you don’t get board of it fast. But I have a suggestion, can you add more military options to it. Like a training center and being able to have ships in a special planet where you colonize but there is another civilization but you can go to war or stay peaceful with them. That would make this game obsolete.

2 problems

I absolutely love this game as with any other colony game. But for 1 it took forever for some stuff to happen, mostly microchips even in the late game. But I just got a new device cause my last one broke:( and deleted every single colony I had. ( I do not have an ape apps account so that might be why.) But anyway the game is awesome and actually quite creative from most colony games!

Missing Resources

Just logged back into a saved game, and all resources that the colony had were zeroed out and had to refill from scratch. This needs to be fixed. Gave the app 2* but it is really a 4*, maybe 5*, but until this issue is fixed, no way. Good game, but imo this is a serious flaw.

Rant about stat menu game devs please read

The latest update which made the stat menu look nicer has only made it more confusing and taken away the ability to check what citizens are unemployed because of this I have no clue who is or not, along with this rant at the unemployment when you go to see how many jobs are there for the taken all it gives now is a percentage which is annoying as I don't know how many jobs I need to fill. In order to fix this I'd make the stat menu simpler similar to the old one, add the actual numbers along with the percentage to stuff like unemployment and make it so the stat menu is more interactive by letting us tap on stuff like the unemployment so it tells us who is unemployed so we can employ them. Sorry game developers for this long rant, I felt as if this stuff had to be said other than these things I have said I think this was a great update to the game as it got rid of bugs and in my opinion made the game slightly smoother when playing
