The year is 2314. When a tiny asteroid falls to earth in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it brings with it a MYSTERIOUS ALIEN VIRUS. Over the next few months, farmers and scientists around the world begin to notice a curious phenomenon – mushrooms are turning black, and dying!
As world mushroom stocks run low, stock markets plummet, and governments appeal for calm as protests become riots.
Now, a cabal of the world's most powerful restaurateurs meet in secret. Their goal – to create a private space programme to seek out new supplies of mushrooms, wherever they may be found!
Features:
- Make your fortune at the edge of the galaxy!
- Explore uncharted asteroids with oddly geometric shapes!
- Investigate strange volcanic activity and harness the power of huge mutant mushrooms!
- Invest in the latest space-age technology, including Energy Saving Lightbulbs and the GIANT SPACE DEATH LASER!
- Compete against 5 bonkers opponents!
- Fun retro graphics!
- Awesome positional sound effects!
- 9 fun (but challenging) maps!
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We love this game and we want to play space harvest 2 but when we try to get it by searching it up it wont show up and when we press the button through google it just tells us the game isnt available in our state or region so can you make this game available in the U.S.
Super addicting game. The controls are kind of dumb though.
Free well thought out RTS with no freemium pay to win BS Sign us up.
Love this game but stuck on level 8 it is so hard.
Very enjoyable Starcraft or age of empires type of game. Doesnt need internet also. Campaigns are decent.
Good: tough but fair campaign that gradually increases capability and difficulty, flimsy storyline but very fun on the balance. Some levels are brutal until you crack what the game wants you to do, other levels are easily overcome with an OP tech tree. Though honestly? We wanted more. Rough Edges: gameplay isnt very balanced, but with so few moving pieces, we cant be sure if we want to see it as an oversight or as a challenge. Path finding is only ok, and the mining units often lose focus. Tapping on the screen to get exactly what you want has a steep learning curve and the frustration never really goes away. In fact many units leave things unfinished and because the path finding and grouping is so poor, larger scale troop battles have to be tightly microd to be effective, and even then its a toss up. Notes: there was a sequel made, it looks cool, but its not out on the iPhone. Final thoughts: worth your time, no micro transactions, looking forward to more from this dev. Id have given it 3 stars for the cons, but the game really was fun. Thanks.
The characters are not diverse enough! They are virtually all blacks. As an Asian person, we want more Asians and White people in the game.
Also, skinny considering how much game is it.
U should add a feature where people can make custom levels and more units and upgrades to units more people will play it if you update more.
The game past stage 4 is balls to the walls impossible for us but…..it's very well made and quite odd because your. Money is mushrooms so….your a drug dealer…yea. Have fun.
Okay, we just got this game and we absolutely love it, but it's got the same missions and it doesn't take up the whole screen (cause last update was 2010). Please just update the game.
We love this game!!! It's so much fun and addicting! Like come on who doesn't like building games!? But Plz make an update Plz.
The only issue we've really had with this game is unit selection. The current method is inefficient and makes reacting to a threat quickly difficult. It also means that we cannot have units of different types in the same group. Also, a suggestion: Along with a new way to select units, a tab system on the side of the edge of the screen would be incredibly useful. For those that don't know, a tab system is where you can save selections of units so that you don't have to be at their current location or be looking at them to select them. Other than that, this is a top-notch game. Keep up the good work! We've read that many people are finding this game quite difficult, so here is some advice: This is NOT a console game where you can blindly rush in "guns blazing". This, is an RTS meaning you have to think before you do something or you'll get swamped. We have advanced far in the storyline because we work slowly and carefully when the situation allows. Here is our general order of activity, perhaps it will prove useful to someone else. Defend -> Build -> Retaliate -> Destroy Thanks for reading this! – Crimson.
One request. Iphone 6 plus support.
Our favorite type of game. Old school real time strategy.
Great game it need more lvl and maybe online hint hint.
This is an awsome RTS game. If you cant get past the first few levels you shouldnt been playing RTS games in the first place. Super fun, reminds us of star craft but for IOS.
This is one of the best strategy games we have ever played! It has simple gameplay but is also very hard and requires good strategy-making skills if you want to make any progress in this game… The first level holds your hand, the second doesn't, and the third kicks you in the corporals, big time…. So be ready and never get cocky and think you have the advantage because in reality you're always near defeat.
It's been 4 years since this game has been updated Why is this? There's is no other game out in the App Store from this developer, if they are gonna Continue to have this game in the App Store the least they could do is update it. Just saying.
The game has good units, real strategy, no 99 cents to get a boost crap, just strategy. Concept and storyline are good too, the AI is great. Keep it up.
This game is incredibly fun. We were happy to finally find an age of empire type game on the iPod. There are a few thing that could be improved though: 1)The units don't respond to your commands immediately. The delay gets a lot of them killed. 2) the difficulty is too hard. You don't get a chance to build up an economy. 3) the maps could have more room on them 4) online and random maps must must must be added. 5) should be possible to select 3 of 5 units. Can only single select or select all. 6) more levels and maps 7) should be a way to gather resources without mushrooms. If you gather all the mushrooms and the enemy destroys the big mushrooms, you're stuck. Mushroom farms? Shroom labs? Come up with something good. 8) energy is stupid. Get rid of it or make it more useful 9) add a store where you can buy upgrades for units ( using game currency) and boosts (make real cash). 10) should be more types of units available. Maybe rockets? Tanks should be able to kill a bumblebee, but bb should do more damage to the tank. All in all, it a fun challenging game that could really use an update. Gets 5 stars because it's the first game of its kind on the iPod we've found. Most games are in 2-D war. Trust us – we've played enough games to know.
Like an old school RTS its not too easy. Yes you likely need to replay certain levels several times before you get your strategy right. To us that is the fun. If you liked 90s rts games you will likely enjoy this one. One of our top 3 ipad games. Really digging it. We wish there was a sequel.
To us, it plays just like some of the best RTS games out there. The AI is a little wonky, so hopefully that gets fixed. This is really difficult, putting us on defense early. Hints aren't the best hints, though.
It gives you a level of enjoyment while also giving very difficult challenges… If you hate challenges dont play this, but if your a good human being then take a crack at it… We are looking forward to more apps made by this company.
It's good but we think you should ad multi player battles and a creative mode.
We're enjoying this game tremendously. The tutorials are great. And if you want a challenge, get ready.
The game actually great the graphics ok and the gameplay have a lot of entertainment Skirmish is really really in needed we end the story but still we want to play it more but in a new way When the player want to play skirmish make him choose which map he want and if 2 on 2 or like 1-1 or even if he feel power make it 1-3 Use the storyline maps and add 2 or 3 new maps ok and Make it good. Please don't make the Al have infinity money like destroying all his harvesters then he still buy things (don't care for the storyline focus on skirmish) Thanks and am waiting for the next update from a long long long long time So please make it.
We really like this game we thought that it was a great strategy it will keep you on your toes when you think your winning keep up the good work and make a good sequel to it plz.
Good game but on lvl 8 the baby sitting scenario is rediculous.
Beat this game twice so much fun! Please more games like this on app store.
Same as everyone else, we love it, but want more.
Best real time stradgy on a iPad.
Really great game guys! It was the perfect difficulty IMO. Walking the line between ease and frustration. Some multiplayer and more levels would be the only improvement.
This is a great game. Some friendly suggestions to the producers to make the game better: Make more levels A skirmish mode Multiplayer mode A level editor.
It's very fun but needs a freeplay mode but other than that its fun we highly recommend this game.
This is a very good game but you need to put updates (so anyone that likes this game give it 5 stars and they will update it).
This game is excellent! A wonderful and addicting RTS. It could use some more missions though, and it would be great if you can play online.
This game is really fun but it needs a vs AI or people.
Couldn't put it down, and challenging. You'll probably loose a few times.
We love this game. Add us so we can play! Manousako.
We spent lots of time trying to find a decent RTS game on the App Store. Of all the games we downloaded, this has to be the greatest. Get it for free during this limited time if you want a great and simple RTS! What could be better then mining astrologic mushrooms.
We can't delete this game.. We've beat it several times and it's one of our top favorites… We just wish they would add more levels.. Good going developers you made an awesome game.
Really great addictive Starcraft style fun. We wish we can find this game for The PC,works great on the iPhone, no issues , definitely a must have if love Real Time Strategy games.
It's so cool the last level because we get alot of money.
This game is not easy. But its fun we enjoyed it alot. Although we were challenged by it……which is exactly what we are looking for, arent we.
If you read on you'll see negative reviews. People requesting better controls and better graphics and better everything. They need to play on a PC, because for a mobile device to do what this game does is amazing.
Easy controls. The AI is challenging.
Fantastic but it seriously needs an update or a sequel with a skirmish mode.
Charming 2D sprite graphics. Challenging but fun levels. One of the best strategy games on iOS.
Great game ! Would like to see more updates! Thanks.
