App Profile: My Colony

I’ve been looking for a simulation game like this for a long time. One where you can manage resources and build a colony without having to constantly click a building to collect resources or wait hours/days for a building to finish. You can play at your own pace even play effectively for free if you want. I want to love this game, but keep running into the same roadblock: not knowing what I’m missing to move to the next tier. I’ll unlock a research, but the buildings it says it unlocks don’t show up. I usually spend 15 minutes for every hour of play trying to find out what I missed in order to unlock the new buildings. It starts to get frustrating after a while. Would be nice if all buildings unlocked would show up and show the building/research requirements they are lacking, similar to how they do with mission resources. We definitely need more games like this out there!

This game is a wonderful reminder of the games I used to watch my brother play on the SNES as a kid (I was waaayy too young to figure it out lol). Hours of fun strategizing and resource management, which is something I’ve been looking for in a game for a long time. True, I have had one issue, but after reading other reviews I figured it out: When I switch between the My Colony app to another app and then come back, the app will not let me place anything, telling me that the location is blocked. I was frustrated but read some reviews about people having other issues and realized that closing the app and re-opening fixes most bugs, including this one! This may be an issue that the developer is aware of and working on, I dunno. Either way, with such a small issue vs. the amount of fun I get from the game, it definitely deserves the full five stars. Excited to see what develops from this start!

This app is amazing! It really is. But a while back I purchased the premium to get rid of ads and get creative mode. Because the app was getting buggy, I deleted it. It was in iCloud the whole time when I deleted it. ( keep that in mind ) Then a week ago I reinstalled the app, definitely not as buggy but now even after restoring my purchases creative mode doesn’t work. I can build, but there is nothing on the screen. Just the menu and a little icon saying. “saving game...” Even with the regular mode as well. I would appreciate if the developer could fix this in the near future as this was one of my favorite games.
