Community Insight:
This game is the best ever! It is fun to show people how space could be awesome with its beauitful nebulas and so much more.
Actually have good graph tape dont want to give five star.
We remember playing this, like in 2024 or something idk and plus does it even have updates anymore? Like is it just dead now? If it is, we need to bring it back, Lets go!!!! Five stars.
We absolutely love this app. Creators were so good at making this, but its nighttime so we cant make a long review.
We like it so much im so addicted to this game.
We love this game and simulating life.
There are hundreds and hundreds of planets, you can create your own solar system.
This is the best game ever we got life they created tools and other animals appeared but then the ice age came and our life died but then we got a message saying that not all life is goneAM we CREATING EARTH?!? We would give this game 9 stars.
This is relaxing and educational.
We love this game. Its basically like universe sandbox where you can frick around with everything yeah sorry if this sounds dumb.
- Add More Planets 2. Add Types Of Moons Like Volcanic, Lava, Snow And Like Tundra Moons 3. Make Moons Orbit Your Planets Just Like To Make Them Orbit The Sun 4. Add Visible Astronauts Traveling Including, Add A Message Tell You There Are Doing A Current Mission And They Tell What Type 5. Make The Zones Bigger Like Huge 6. Update Subscription. That Means To Allow You To Type In Your Own. 7. Add Pulsars Or Special DLCS Like A Exoplanet DLC Or A Star DLC Kinda Cool Right? 8. More DLC Examples: Pulsar DLC, Exoplanet DLC, Rogue Planet DLC, Or Hybothetical Planet DLC Containing Planet Nine Or Planet Y Like More Real Or Hybothetical! 9. Maybe Add Profiles Or Maybe Avatars Of Your Profile. 10. Game Suggestions: Maybe Make More Then our Pocket Galaxy Like Maybe Add our Pocket Railway Or our Pocket World Or our Pocket Horse Stable Maybe our Pocket Hotel? Ty For Reading (PLS Respond!!).
This game is a mobile version of universe sandbox.
This game we're simulating trying to make a living world an O did.
So we literally was sleep and remembered this game is good because our friends told us and our school lets us play it in science class.thanks for creating this game whoever did.
We love exploring the game we get to know more about galaxy.
Played this in our childhood, came back, as good as remembered.
Pocket galaxy is amazing because you can make planets collide repel or may one planet repel and then make one planet attract and boom. You got your own never ending scene plus theyre also never going to crash into each other, but just be careful though Cuz if you add a tiny bit of a unbalance, it could go haywire thats what we learned.
The planets are pretty well designed. The graphics are suprisingly good for a sandbox app. Although not as realistic, it can be pretty fun whenever you get bored. We would play this game for random sceanarios, etc… Overall, 10/10.
We made an earth like planet named zero and it has rings,and a moon! It started with cells and then humans/life! Make more games of this.
This game can make u terraform create and build but the only thing that should be removed the planet limite.
This game is probably one of the best sandbox games and we have been interested in planets since we were a little boy.
This is the best game we ever played we cant stop playing it. It is so good.
Good game just dont like the limit.
U can make your own plant And it free and it fun.
Thanks for making this game its really fun to play 10/10.
Good game just need more plants more stuff and more black holes with diferent design.
Great game we had a a lot doing this we Evan created our own system.
It is cool the graphics are The best and The rings are just so cool and realistic and yeah, we dont have anything else but its good.
This app lets us open our mind and create as many galaxys as we want, it allows us to merge suns and planets and blow them up, if you love space as much as we do we suggest you download, its free and so is everything about it download today, bye.
Maybe you can make the planet collisions more realistic like debris from the collision clumps to form moons and planets basically.
We love space thats why we download.
We love tis game only thing we want to change the size of anything.
This is why because we were having a good time but the only problem that doesnt have to do with the developers or game its just that we didnt know how to make the planets to orbit a star.
DONT EVEN HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING JUST.. WOW.
Listen. We love the game, but there might be a limit on how many planets there are at once. We can only place 9 planets. Whenever we watch a ad to spawn another one, we dont get the planet. Is this a bug or a limitation.
This is a great game when you are bored.
Bro best space cam ever heard we ever heard, bro.
It would be better if we had infinite slots to place stuff.
Well this is a good game but we want like lasers and a continent creator also perfect orbits like if you tap on anywhere you want puts the planet on good orbit and more types of planets and other stuff like galaxies nebulas and white holes and also exoplanet and other types of stars and rings and add more real planets too and we want more remaining planets like unlimited like infinity remaining in case of lagging do not save your map and restart the app and last, but not least we also want black dwarfs, which are super dark. You cannot even see them.
Not that good, because you cant go into the planets themselves but if you add that, it would be great.
this is the best game we have ever experienced in our life. This is like the greatest game textures are really good. Its just the best game Ive ever experienced please please please make a parts of this and maybe add more futures to the part two cause we really like this.
Hey can you add a mode where you can have A POV of the ground Id love that.
We Like Planets A lot thank you for making this app.
We get that it's a free version, but increase default planet limit to 4 or 5 instead of 3. The ads sometimes pause with no way to continue.
Five stars because we like playing with black hole stars and planets and the rays.
We never had a fun universe sandbox before.
We got earth finnally we read how to get and we got also the game is really fun.
All the other things are locked.
Wow Im impressed by how this is like universe sandbox on the pc and also theres so much to do you can smash planets together for some reason its kinda funny.
You can crash planets and very fun.
