Mrs.Cat In Mars
Very fun, innovative mechanics and well balanced levels, the music is very nice and the cat is very cute and I recommend it for anyone who likes a good precision platform game

In general the game is quite enjoyable but something I consider a huge disadventage is controls. Jumping in some cases requires absurd precision, also maybe it’s just me but moving platforms are a huge pain. This two problems make “catrunner” achivment a terrible experiance.
If you are looking for a nice, cheap, short platforming game than this game is for you, but it’s nothing in compare to Celest or N-game2 (it’s free, not on Steam)
Also the cat is cute

Caves Of Mars
The Caves Of Mars is the new 2D action space shooter game set in the mysterious caves of the planet Mars.
Tharsis is a mountainous region on Mars where hundreds of caves have been discovered. These caves contain precious gems which are heavily guarded by enemies and alien life forms.
Navigate your spacecraft through these caves, destroy enemies and alien lifeforms and collect as many gems as possible. Collecting gems will increase your health and gain points. You will gain extra bonus points the more gems you collect and enemies you destroy.
There are 100 cave levels to complete, each one procedurally generated randomly so no two levels are ever the same. As you progress through the levels the caves will become larger, more complex and you will encounter more challenging enemies, aliens and obstacles.
Enemies
You will encounter many different enemies as you progress though the caves. Some guard their position and don’t move, whilst others form waves of enemy spacecraft which will follow you. The more powerful enemies will take serval hits to destroy.
Enemy Bosses
Watch out for enemy boss spacecraft. Some of the Key Cards are in the possession of enemy bosses so you will need your weapons to destroy these and collect the Key Card.
Aliens
Watch out for Alien lifeforms. Some of these can move, jump or fly and throw lightning bolts.
Fuel
Collect Fuel to Boost Your Health.
Power Ups
Collect vessels containing Weapons and Shield Power-ups. Collected power-ups are displayed in the right-hand panel. Activate / deactivate these by clicking them or selecting keys 1-8. Each power-up with change the appearance of your player spacecraft.
Key Cards and Laser Doors
Find and collect ‘Key Cards’ to unlock ‘Laser Doors’ to gain access to each section of these caves.
Map
To help there is a map of each cave system indicating the location of each Key Card and the laser doors they unlock. Open this by clicking on the map button. The caves get larger and more complex as you progress so you will need this map.
Laser Beams
Beware of the laser beams which you will need to negotiate your way through as they switch on and off. Each laser beam will turn off and on as you approach it. To return you need to navigate the sequence of laser beams before returning.
Moving Platforms
Navigate Your Way Through Moving Platforms.
Controls
Your spacecraft will automatically descend downwards until it hits the ground or an obstacle. Control your spacecraft using arrow keys or WASD keys. Fire using either Spacebar or Mouse Click.

Utopia Colony
First of all it’s a game you play once and never again. Simply because once you complete your mission you win and game ends. It can be done in a w/end.
Game is interesting, it has a huge map you can walk or drive but going from one place to another takes time!
Graphics are not great but decent, there are several bases you can explore and complete some task for credits.
Your main source of credits are minerals can find around, collect and sell for credits. You upgrade your suit with more oxygen capacity, and as you progress you buy rovers, you expand your base and build several buildings like greenhouse which provides food.

Loving this game so far. Love the desolate atmospheric surroundings, and very impressed with my base as it grows. Currently hitting a bit of a brick wall as I need credits to complete the research tasks, but can’t find enough resources to collect, and haven’t figured out how to get my water extractor to work, so having to buy lots of water, cancelling out the credits I earn for any ore do I find on my trips out. I’ve built my greenhouses, and looking forward to when things start go grow. I’ve lost 8 hours straight on my first play, so I really need to go and make my lunch now. Thanks, great game.

Mars or Die!
Guys please fix the (hit boxes / bounds whatever) for the environment or something why do I have to get stuck on every thing my AI buddy gets stuck on everything. I already can not rotate the camera WTH? This is severely aggrevating please tell me this was not the intended user experience. So far that’s been my experience with this game. I tried this because it had controller support but now I don’t know if that it even makes it justifiable purchase I do not recommend at this time.

In A Nutshell
Mars Or Die in an hybrid between tower defense and survival game. Set in a quite distant future, it tells the tale of two unfortunate explorers, sent on Mars instead of the Moon, by their rather comical dictatorial government, and their struggle to survive extreme conditions and hordes of hostile aliens.
At first, only the Campaign mode is available, featuring nine levels of increasing complexity and lenght, with different objectives each. Once completed, it will unlock and Endless mode to test your strategic skills against unlimited and always more powerful alien hordes. In the first few levels you will control your two characters separately, so either the Sargeant or the Scout, but then once reunited, you will have to manage both at the same time, using their unique abilities to overcome obstacles and stay alive.

If u miss games like Vyruz: Destruction of the Untel Empire, this might rub the right place. More development and it will be fine.

Terraformers: First Steps on Mars
Interesting theme, the graphics are simple but cool, the music is nice, it does run on GNU/Linux, but after eight hours of repetitive play, I wouldn’t call this a civ strategy kind of game, but more like a deck building card game, with lots of randomness, which gets you nowhere. You just need to be lucky to get the right cards at the right time for the right random spots to get a better score. No matter how good your planning is, there is too much luck involved. Maybe the 30 days span of a gameplay is too short for seeing the bigger picture, this is just a demo after all, but that’s my take on the current game. I do wish the devs good luck and I hope the final game offers a better experience.

A pretty solid board game
Game is very reminiscent of the popular board game Terraforming Mars, with some slight changes.
-
Your starting hand is always the same 2 cards
-
Beyond Oxygen, H2O and Temperature, there’s a nebulous “atmosphere” terraform setting
-
Ever 10 years you select a leader, who has special abilities and traits that can be used on your turn
-
Pop happiness is measured and scored.
Overall its fun for a few play throughs, but with the same 6 leaders, same starting hand, and hard 30 turn limit, you’ll only have fun for a bit.

Take On Mars
Notice: A lot of reviews are poor about this game because it is early access and people don’t bother to read that they’re buying an unfinished game. Actually READ what people have to say and don’t be taken in by metascores.
Notice: This is going to be detailed, so if your not into that skip to the next review, you have been warned!
Take on Mars - a game designed with a single purpose in mind - explore, and eventually colonize Mars.
Take On Mars - A Survival Game unlike any you’ve played. There are no enemies here except nature herself, but she a fierce one. Even without her Pets - Take on Mars is proof positive space travel is dangerous

SECOND REVIEW:
I am now updating this review to reflect the launch update and information that i found due to the comments made by Mr. Monochrome and INFIDEL in the comments below. I admit changes have been made and the game up to the point i have progressed to is working, that being said i still beleive this game needs alot more work in that the tutorials are incomplete as far as explaining all you need to know when it comes to the machines,the mission objectives are poorly worded and easily misinterpreted, and still no guidance in game on how to complete the unmanned missions and still make money. This game is frustrating and i personally believe that most gamers will lose interest due to this fact in very little time.

BasCatball Mars: Basketball & Cat
the game is really good, the graphics and animations feel like an arcade game, as it really is. it doesn’t get too overwhelming easily, the gameplay is simple, but the characters have unique skills, which makes the game more interesting, and also more cool. in the game there is the possibility to change the music which helps not to get too heavy, in short the game is incredible, even more so for an indie studio, with lots of fun and very reasoning stages, good for training the brain and having fun whenever you want, it’s cheap, good and light, a good choice for any audience, I recommend leaving the option to return only 1 shift, so as not to have to return the entire phase, and to think about adapting to android, it would be very played, already that most casual gamers are on mobile devices. but in general the game is excellent, congratulations to those involved and I hope many other games in the future.
