Mars has grown into a sizeable puzzle game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35728961/0d901aebb13c28b9648b050ef9a91aed2408964d.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35728961/1d1e82564b693bd909469a3ed9dd0f4252af74b0.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35728961/55a00cfc0bc50e5ae6b67899e07ca2e10b39f195.png All our players should've received cards already. You can also get badges, emojis and even profile backgrounds now. ːsteamhappyː ːbubbleSmileː ːelectricityOnː ːstrawberryPixelː Thank you all for playing, Arek, Lucas, Kuba, Piotr

Hello everyone! As you can see Halloween is upon us! But that's not the biggest news. We're very excited to see Steam recognized Mars Power Industries as a real game. That little tag "Steam is learning about this game" is gone. We can add badges, emoji and even cards! So that's what's coming soon. Very rare for puzzle games to achieve this status, we're very thankful! It means that there were enough thousands of hours played. The actual number required is hidden by Steam. But we're estimating that Mars was played over 10 thousand hours and that's why it's recognized as a real game. Other news: If anybody is holding out on getting Mars, the winter sale will be the biggest price drop. Just a heads up! ːcozybethesdaː {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35728961/6d22b7fab70f258efd91e18321fe7a2d13af47bf.png Thank you everyone for support and for playing our game! -Arek, Łukasz, Piotr, Kuba

Hello everyone! We're excited to tell you we just partnered up and released a bundle with our friends from Golf Peaks, Spring Falls and Path of Giants! These are all fantastic, well-designed puzzles with the same Ambient & Relaxing mood. All of them well-received by the players. All of them won a number of awards. All of them featured in high places. I can safely recommend them! Here's the order I'd play them in:

1. Spring Falls

Begin your hike up the mountain, where you'll sculpt the rockface and nurture flowers growing on the mountainside.

2. Golf Peaks

Play golf on the mountain peaks!

3. Path of Giants

Explore that mountain in search of a lost treasure...

4. Mars Power Industries

That mountain was pretty high, now it's just a short walk to Mars! Here you'll find an abandoned colony in need of power and a smart architect. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/15858/Atmospheric_Puzzle_Bundle/ You can grab them all with with a -30% discount. If you own any of these, you won't buy it twice. This way you can buy the bundle only to complete your collection! Thanks again! Arek

The last update brought the total number of levels to 133 and a new mechanic. Now you can grab it for cheap! I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for your support! Arek 7A Games

You can now play the game from start to finish with any controller you like! We've added a couple nice things for gamepad users. You can also use keyboard controls, if you like. We've fixed all of the reported bugs! That's all, don't know what else to say. I hope you enjoy the game! Thank you!

Hello everyone! We've just released a new update. It introduces a new house building mechanic and a set of challenge levels. To get there you will have to gather strawberries (as usual). This brings the total number of levels to 133. I'm sure this is at least 4 hours of puzzles. This new content breaks the monotony of the first 30 levels, where the game hasn't shown you it's most interesting mechanics yet. If you'd like to try the house building, separately and for free, check out our little demo. 18 entirely new levels, based around only house building. For people who don't know if Mars is for them. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1300560/Mars_Power_Industries_First_Job/ Please let us know what you think about this new content and how you feel about the game. We've been thinking about a possible sequel. We've gathered enough experience here. You can write a review visible for everyone or post in the discussion thread, Thank you for reading and thank you everyone who bought the game!

Steam Cards

There were some questions about Steam cards. We're going to add them as soon as we'll be able to. Steam decides when this happens, when they notice this is a real game and not a scam. If you want to speed up this process please leave a review!

Reviews

If you played the game we encourage you to leave a review. This helps a lot with visibility on Steam and every review means a lot for such a tiny studio like ours. Thank you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35728961/d5794e5a45983b89dd16396a03eb15f92ab8a131.gif

Story

First prototype of the game was created during Global Game Jam in 48h. If you're curious how the game looked then here's the video:

Hello Everyone! I think you're all wondering what this Deluxe thing is really about. Here's a short summary! First version: October 2018 we released Mars Power Industries as a mobile game. Featured on iTunes by Apple. The result of our 10 months' work from Global Game Jam 2018 when the game was first conceived. We've worked after hours to complete a playable puzzle game. At first it was only an hour long. 40 simple puzzles. People liked it! We made some updates, we still had more ideas. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35728961/55b0ad03de64c3273d32dcb62d027a2b801b5b44.png Deluxe Edition: We added new mechanics, new buildings and new levels. More music too, I'm an audiophile, we had to expand that area. We've replaced less interesting levels, added new obstacles such as sand worms, visible here! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35728961/6d6be08bbc3dffb24824759635df4843b329fdc3.png This brings us to a total of 97 levels. The deluxe edition has around 40 new/remastered levels. Twice the music. Most importantly - MAC and LINUX support! Plus a DEMO version! You can try the game for yourself for FREE! Who we are: This game was made by 4 people. We're a group of friends from Lublin, a small town in Poland. That's in Europe! - Arek, design, art direction and sound - Kuba, pixel art - Łukasz, programming, additional design - Piotr, programming & tools We've been making games for some years now. Mars Power Industries started as a learning experience to learn Unity for a game jam, if you can believe that. We've been trying to make Mars Power Industries a fun, tight puzzle game for 2 years now. 2 years of hard work after hours. It's been a very wild ride. We hope we succeeded!
