What Makes Auralux Stand Out
The sequel, Auralux: Constellations, is available now! Click on War Drum Studios above to download.
New features include leaderboards, achievements, and cloud saves!
Auralux is an abstract, essentialized, and simplified real-time strategy game.
You command only one type of unit and have only one type of order to give those units. You and your opponents start the game with precisely equal resources. Quick reflexes will get you nowhere. The only path to victory is through clever strategy.
Auralux features a slow, floating feel and vibrant minimalistic graphics. The entire game pulses to the rhythm of ambient music, and the player's actions evoke sounds that smoothly coalesce into melody.
This game is designed to provide a relaxing, cerebral experience. Every choice matters, and only the best strategies will succeed.
Features:
-Includes every feature and more from the renowned PC game.
-Free to try for as long as you like! Simply purchase additional levels for a very low price if you enjoy the game and want more challenges.
-Gameplay optimized for touch screen devices.
-Countless hours of gameplay
-Two available game modes : Normal and Speed Mode, with a secret mode for expert players to unlock!
-Relaxing, ambient soundtrack brings you into a rhythm and meditative state.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We never leave a review on games but this is perfect so simple, not littered with adds, and Ive been entertained for years. Goated experience 10/10.
Love this Game no ads no ads no ads ! Ive been play this game since 2012 at least.
We downloaded this game 10 years ago and still love it, we replay the levels all the time, our only complaint is that there isnt more. We use this game when at lectures or listening to audio media, we have adhd so we are very bad with listening activities without some additional stimuli, this game is perfect for those times. We would do anything for more levels please.
We first played Auralux years ago and its probably the the game we come back to the most. It had simple game mechanics that still challenge you. As a plus, the game is not riddled with ads like so many other mobile games, allowing you to actually play the game.
This is hands down our favorite game of all time. We always come back to this game.
Simple and challenging strategy game sounds when units collide is nice.
An excellent game – unique, and very well designed. Its both relaxing and exciting at the same time. Well done.
After discovering this game on Android and then moving to IOS we forgot the name of this game. We finally get to play this strategic time killer. Its so fun commanding units to overtake a 3 way free for all.
Best game we have ever played. In our life. 10/10. No explanation, best game ever.
This is a fun strategy game that helps to pass the time.
If you see a 1 star saying the game is impossible, we have spent time playing every map and that includes DLC maps, and we have beat each one. Slow (original) and fast. The insane mode is the only mode where the enemy stars are outpacing you (and the only one we havent been able to finish every map on). If you lose, it isnt because the game is impossible. Its because your strategy is flawed. Sometimes the stars gang up on you. Instead of claiming the game is rigged, learn to rig the system. Spark fights, set defenses, and strike when the enemy is making their move. Attacking the closest star isnt always the best option. This game has so many of our hours. We have bought it on apple and on the google play store. And if we switch phones again we will buy it all again. We love the challenge. It is possible, dont give up.
Its HARD! But so fun. Good for killing time. 10/10.
For us to play this game, hyperspeed or whatever it's called is a requirement – which is paid for. It's a good game that emphasizes strategy over anything else. It's very pure.
This game is so fun and entertaining and it would be 100% worth if it was just a little remodeled. It reminds us of gods of gravity on vr and that game is super fun so doing a remake on this to make it somewhat similar would be absolutely insane! And possible adding a multiplayer . Love the game and u would literally pay to have it upgraded.
Ive beer really enjoying this game. It takes a slower-paced approach to this style of strategy game (dont know the genre name) and we like that because it gives us time to think while also maintaining a very consistent pace. It also isnt overcrowded with features and additions. We would just like the following features – change your bases color – updated selection features (such as tap a planet and quick select a percentage of resources to send out).
What can we say we remembered it from years ago and went looking for the name. Still just as fun as when we played it on the way to sleep away camp.
Love this game. Play it all the time. It's quiet challenging and just fun. Though it would be better if you can change your sun color.
Our third time to download and play this game through. The concept is incredible. More levels, a storyline, multiplayer option and level builder would make it more playable.
After all these years. We come back to it every so often and play both this version and its successor.
We love the challenges! Been playing for a while.
Greta game. We previously had the 2x speed purchased. We played this years ago and loved it. Too bad it hasnt been updated in ~5 years. It doesnt need an update but more levels.
LOVE IT!! Its sad that its hard to find iPhone games that are not just mindless add pushers. This game is challenging, stimulating, and fun! Great way to spend a little time.
Such a fun game. Forgot all about it but remembered today and redownloaded. Just as fun as it used to be; great visuals, nice sounds effects and music, very fun ambiance. Would recommend.
This game is really good when you need to pass time.. Very cool concept.
This game is very fun and has a nice theme to it.
Simple fun and super satisfying! We keep redownloading this game over the years and buying the new packs is actually worth it since they are enjoyable each time they are played. Crazy, but sick.
Its all about patience, determination, and consistency. You cant win fast. Thats not to say that you can relax and take all the time you want. If you do, you will be overrun and if this happens enough, you will not be able to manufacture enough munitions to take back what you lost and your demise will happen exponentially quicker. You have to zoom out and see how all individual engagements affect regional battles, and how all of the regional battles are playing out at the larger campaign perspective. Then zoom in and out to check the progress of each little skirmish and make sure your supply lines all have continuous flow to the front lines all being fed from the back lines in unrelenting waves. Gaps in the supply lines = death.
They move too slow but we like the drifting.
An engaging attritional strategy game. Intuitive. Emersive. Pretty. Cheerful.
Perfect game but wish there more free maps.
Awesome and addicting game. Just add more levels, please.
Very fun game. Similar to Risk except not a turn-based game.
Its a great strategy game play it yourself to find out the rest.
Great game simple rules but surprisingly difficult. Not quick, expect 20-30 mins per round.
Such a great game – and varied enough that the same strategies don't always work twice. We get hypnotized playing this.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome.
We got to force ourselves to scream the fact that this game doesnt D-day you with ads. In fact we dont think Ive seen a single ad yet. Come on guys yall need to earn some money with a such a wonderful game like this. Personally we would definitely recommend this strategy power house to every singular person reading this!!! -The Bsoul himself.
Very fun game we love it we love the music and the effects we hope you guys upgrade the game and make more gun then it already is.
It is a great time killer each game takes between 10 and 30 minutes and the time just flies by.
We bought the complete game and it is always installed on our phone. We always find ourselves going back to it to try and beat those last few impossible levels. Cant recommend this game enough.
We enjoy this game a lot but we really wish there was more to it. More levels, difficulties and maybe modes. 10/10.
We dont usually rate games but this is such a good strategy game, we spend our downtime playing this game and finding new way to dominate. You guys did so good.
It is so fun and challenging but it is hard.
All the people saying its impossible to beat this game your bad.
Strategy + music. Cant beat it.
We have downloaded this game across three separate devices. We absolutely love the level of difficulty built in and never tire of it.
Ive played this game for, at this point, years now. We really enjoy it. Its simple but challenging. Very fun way to kill some time.
Its retartedly simple (if thats a word). But its stirs the brain and is fun.
Fun and no ads just like the good old days.
The game is very good it is calming too.
