About
In 2097, life is discovered on Mars. When your mission of first contact becomes trapped by a cave-in, you must master the alien ecosystem to survive. Soon you stumble upon more than anyone expected, and with time running out, you will make a decision that determines the fate of a lost planet.
Waking Mars is a one-of-a-kind adventure in which you jetpack through subterranean Mars encountering a host of extraordinary alien lifeforms that operate as a living, breathing ecosystem. Learn and master the behaviors of these creatures to create ecosystems of your own design if you are to survive and discover the secrets of Mars’ past.

-Terrible controls -Creatures and ecology don't do anything interesting -Characters and narrative completely boring/forgettable
Good game, more to it than the first 20 minutes make it seem. You solve a bunch of puzzles in the theme of creating small simple ecosystems. I liked the voicework a lot.
Super chill, nice game
Ambientazione che ha sempre il suo fascino misterioso (Marte è Marte), meccanismo interessante basato sull'ecosistema marziano e sull'interazione tra i vari organismi che lo compongono. Forse un po' ripetitivo ma giocabile, i puzzle non sono difficili e tutto sommato intrattiene.
В игре больше сюжета и атмосферы исследования Марса, чем геймплея. Ну и ладно.
Очень короткая
Lots of fun, really lovely concept. Could be a little sharper with come controls but easy to play and fun to finish.
Really enjoyed this game. It's well thought out with a simple plant management mechanic that is quietly rewarding. Definitely recommended if you're after something a bit more on the relaxing side.
Kupione dawno temu i w końcu zabrałem się za to, aby przejść. Przyjemna rozgrywka, w późniejszych etapach większy nacisk nastawiony na kombinowanie jak zdobyć poszczególne nasiona. Fabuła ciekawa i wciągająca. Grafika sympatyczna. Błędów nie uświadczyłem. Waking Mars na pewno należy do gier, które przy kilku krótkich posiedzeniach można skończyć. Podobało mi się kombinowanie jak ulepszyć niektóre "pomieszczenia", aby zdobyć wymaganą biomasę. Poruszanie się nie przysparzało większych problemów, skoro prawie od początku mamy plecak odrzutowy. Mimo to, manewrowanie czasami wymagało uwagi i skupienia. Różnorodność miejsc była ciekawa. Jak na dobrany poziom skomplikowania i mechanik, gra broni się całkiem dobrze. OGÓLNA OCENA: 7,5 / 10
The main loop of this game is learning how the alien lifeforms behave and grow so you can fill the caves with more biomass. The lore, dialogue, and story is interesting throughout and kept me invested. The gameplay becomes repetitive unfortunately. But the game is not that long. So I can recommend this for its interesting setting, though it's not a strong recommendation.
