Auralux

Auralux looks very plain, but once you start that tutorial you'll realize it's something else. You blink, suddenly two hours disappeared in a flash an you're dehydrated an hungry. At least from my experience. One of the best strategy games I've came across on here yet. Good job developers on thinking of such a great idea. Very addicting!!

What at first seems like a simple & relaxing particle game smoothly develops into a highly engaging strategy game! It's generally hard to get me to pay in phone games, but in this case I was happy to support the dev's hard work. The additional levels that are unlocked by paying add well-designed challenges at varying difficulties. The Speed Mode unlock, (which at first sounded tacky), is actually a game changer, making all unlocked levels feel fresh again. Overall, an excellent strategy game for the phone!

Easy. Let them fight. You have +1 more production and basically make a defence line and bring it forward one planet at a time. Don't kill off one whole team first. Let them both have only +3 production and no more whilst you have +7/8. Well. Who do you thinks gonna win? Just wipe one planet out each colour at a time.. And it's as easy as CSGO.

Only complaint is that sometimes it doesn't register my taps or thinks I'm trying to move the screen when I'm trying to draw a circle around some units. And my phone is usually very touch sensitive so it must be the programming; doesn't adversely effect gameplay, yet (only on easy right now).

Before attending a meeting or before class starts this awesome game helps me whiz through the the time. I get so invested in my command of my particle army and the defense and offense of my planets that when it's time to pay attention or class begins I still find myself enthralled in the experience. One of the best games on mobile platforms I've ever played.

I rarely give a strategy game 5 stars, but this game deserves it. The game is simple to learn, but with that simplicity comes a game that requires a great deal of strategy. This is not an easy game. For new players, i recommend learning and understanding the enemies' behavior. You need to remember that they are CPUs, so they can be manipulated if you know what to do. Goodluck

Hello! thank you. Love the game. Its organic sounds and spontaneous music plus its simple yet interstellar beauty make it a very original and enjoyable game. I also love your biz model, Selling Speed mode is brilliant. Here is your Big mistake. There is no link from your game to the Speed mode purchase page!! I've look it up 3 times and can't find it. How many customers will you give up before you fix this? It can not be that difficult that its worth not letting people give you their money! hah. Please, Add a link to the purchase page somewhere. I want speed mode! :)

Ive been looking for an rts game like this. Its pretty challenging though and it seems when you cluster lots of ministars they seem to upgrade eachother. Or maybe thats just the game trying to reduce particle lag. In any case i highly reccomend this if youre familiar with starcraft or C&C

Loved it but theres something things id like to be added into an update. Make it so that if you make youre sworm of stars go over each other they become bigger and stronger. Make that so that they just dont get strong automatically znd make the game run a little faster so you dont have to wait for youre stars to get to a planet for like a half an hour or some boosts that you acquire if you loose a sun. Make it so your sun can have armor upgrade. Also star putout upgrades

Such a great game. It has so much more potential tho. My first suggestion would be have an option where you can lighten the screen and choose colors. My second suggestion which is the most important one I believe would be where the players can actually create their own level. One more thing I might add. Have the option of where you can grow your own planet even larger than before. Other than that this is a great game I really had a lot of fun with it

What can I say, incredibly unique experience yet so familiar to RTS players. Gets HARD very quick though and takes a lot of retries even on easy! I finally found relief on the second level by becoming a turtle and using gorilla tactics when the other two enemies were engaged. Surprising to have to resort to these measures on only the second level!

Really beautiful ambient game, with a simple but addictive bare minimum management play style for an rts. The background music is great with an upbeat sound and I absolutely love how the sound effects blend into the beat seamlessly becoming part of the music. The only complaint I could possibly give is that you can only play as blue and not the other colors, but that frankly doesn't matter. (Colorblind mode is a nice feature, kudos to the makers for including it.)

Very good game. Simple, addictive and just the right amount of challenging. I'm not just taping a screen I'm playing a well developed strategy game! I'd love to see more of this. Would like to see: add the ability to autosend star spawn to other stars/destinations. Would allow for active management of larger star grids and would cut down on tapping when sending in backup and preparing preliminary strike forces.

The game is amazing. Great visuals, great audio, great concept. But the AI is so intelligent it's hard to casually play. Once you start playing, it'll take a long time to complete a level. For me it could take upwards of half an hour. I got the fast mode, but it ups the speed by almost 3-4x the normal speed. While that sounds appealing, it also makes you do everything in a rush, which for me is not what I'd like either, because the AI is even more of problem when they're fast.

I heard it mentioned on the Security Now! Podcast, and I knew I had to try it if Steve loved it. And the man was right! The game is simple to pick up,the second level took "only" about half an hour and I'm hooked. This is the type of fun I will dish money out for once I conquer the galaxy... Or at least the free levels. The settings UI is not what you would call amazing, but the gameplay is!

Probably In the top 5 best games ever created for android, it's really that good. The AI is superior to anything else I've seen, but it does have it's weaknesses, and when you finally find them, they are super easy to exploit for the win, FORTUNATELY by the time you figure them out, you've already won the game

In addition to being elegantly simple, strategically interesting, and visually appealing, this game is remarkably non-spammy. The "rate this game" request is unobtrusive. The free levels are an excellent way to determine whether you want to pay for more. The non-free levels are well worth the price, in my opinion. Competing with your own times gives them replay value. It's the sort of quality I hope for in Android games, but seldom find.

Basic strategy broken down right to the core. No fancy graphics or frills, but the gameplay is impressive. Would've loved a multiplayer option and more free levels. The one thing that separates this one from the whole host of other RTS games of this particular style is the time it takes for your army to build and the time it takes to reach your destination. Being instantaneous like biotix and microcosm killed the beauty of this particular RTS genre. Wonderful game guys! Thank you!

The game is fun. Levels should be locked and laid into progressions. Multipliers or some sort of trick to work towards higher scores should be added. More variety to the soundtrack would be nice. As is the game is something that can be picked up and laid down when you just want something to do. It sortta just washes over you in a meditative way. Increase in the above and graphics could land top spot in charts. A game for everyone regardless of anything.

I really like this game. I find it calming to play. I hope the levels after 3,are just as good. If so I'll definitely buy the bonus levels. Seriously, try this game out. I would echo what others said about adding multiplayer. That would be great! My wife likes this game too, so head to head would be fun. UPDATE: We've bought several packs and loved them. Well worth the money! Also, I just found out they are making a sequel...Constellations! Looks great, new twists, and will bring multiplayer!!!

Good and solid troop strategy game. Unique due to it's ability to move troops where-ever you want. This is a great addition. Takes a heavy loss due to the fact it only has few levels unless paid for. Adding advertisements would be good enough. The levels aren't that hard to make so that should not be a reason of pay. Base game would be worthy of pay though. But no more than €3,95

Auralux is an austere RTS that simplifies the genre to it's basic core elements. Upgrade your base planet, defend your planets from hostile enemies while overtaking neutral planets on your way to domination of the planet systems. Beautifully implemented aural effects complement the crisp, classy visual aesthetics, combining to create a wonderful synthesia married to a beautiful control system unmatched in the genre. Fantastically challenging, with depth and longevity...a real treat. 5 stars!!

Game is very fun, keeps your focus and is simple yet very pleasing. I've been playing it for weeks and still find myself playing whenever i have a few minutes to spare. It is fun alone, but speed mode is definitely the only way to play. Would attract/keep ppl better if speed mode was built in for free. Overall though it's one of my favorite Android games ever. Maybe add some objective game modes like king of the hill, or protect the king etc. I sometimes find myself making mini games up in my head.

I play a lot of games, and this is the first I am reviewing. It is not just a beautiful treat, it refreshes and reshapes your strategic thinking. I am stopping myself from playing this again, as it is addictive, but it is just fantastic. Do note, the normal mode you get after downloading is slow. Buy the discounted pack in the store to get speed mode. Then the game starts. Wish I found more games like this one..

I could not stop playing this game! I usually play solitaire, backgammon, chess etc....but thought id look for a game that was different, I certainly am pleased to have installed this one! I know there are others similar to it, but this one is beautiful and well put together, calming in a weird way, and sort of mesmerizing while keeping you on your toes! Nice job guys! Thanks

Engaging with lots of replay value. I run inside of 'Clean Master' & this seems to help improve battery life. It would be nice if, when returning to the main menu, the app would remember which level was finished last instead of having to swipe through all of the stages to get to the next level. Also, when exiting the game my display often remains stuck in landscape mode.

While technically an RTS, I get a nice feel of arcade, neon feel. This game not only has fluid controls, but a nice audio that interlocks with the clear graphics. The only request, though only for preferential reasons, is this: I would like to be able to select a hemispherical area for half star movements and such. Overall a great game. The gameplay is slow, but rewarding. Just a little tip.

Deceivingly simple at first, but once you realize how many tactics you can use and how many ways you can spread out your forces to conquer, do you realize that the developers wrapped a diamond in a paper bag. It's like Chess meets Risk. In space. One of the best soundtracks and effects I have ever heard. Headphones highly recommended.

At time of review 8 levels for free. Beautiful to look at and simple game play with good real time strategy. The game can be a little samey after the 8 levels, so I haven't purchased additional ones. The makers could consider adding adverts after the first 8 levels as an option if you want to carry on but not purchase. The first levels are joyfully advert free.

I have been on the market for a game that is actually challenging for a while. Let me say this; a hard game is a rare occurrence, and so this game is way up on my 'list' of games. It is also beautiful, with wonderful graphics, though I wish it had an online option so you could play with others. Still, it's a must have!

Love this game. It does have a Fast Mode, which you have to purchase. Definitely worth it. When I bought it, the dev threw in a few new levels for free as an added bonus. Sweeeeeet! Only negative is that the app hasn't been updated in a long time. Would be great to have new levels. Oh, and a button in the game that you can press to repeat your most recent move instead of having to select each planet time after time

This game's concept is exceptional. I love the level design and the enemy AI, and with that the game itself. One of the better games on the Play Store. The only thing I would reccomend: Make the current second level "Hard" difficulty. A lot of people complain about this level for a reason. I have still not completed it as of now, but I have beaten the "Occulus"(?) Level (Which was extremely fun I might add). Overall, amazing game with a calming rythmic atmosphere to it. I reccomend it.

I enjoy how it is very well thought out, no glitches so far, have found myself becoming very competitive against orange, green, and pink. May I suggest some adjustments? Sometimes during a game I need to pop out, and when I come back the game needs to be restarted. Then there is the speed of the units, would you be able to speed them up a little? Not so that they are zipping across the screen, just so you don't have to wait a mintue for a cloud to attack the enemy on the other side of the screen.

I've had this game and purchased all the packs for over a year. I never get bored of it. Like a lot of other games, the leaderboard feature is neat and allows you to compete against people from around the world. It may seem hard at first, but all the levels are solvable and you begin to figure out tricks to solve them faster. Fun!

If you love a good strategy game that isnt too easy but doesnt take so long to understand, this is the game for you! Commands are so simple to get the hang of. Gameplay is difficult enough to keep you addicted. graphics are clean and appealing! It's fun and thrilling but not frustrating. On top of that ITS FREE to play! And NO ADDS! Whats not to like?

Normally, I don't buy DLC for any game, but I found the game play to be really good, and picked up some additional maps! The game is very well balanced, the AI knows when to attack and retreat, and does do very well. Its a great way to pass a chunk of time, and if you want a quick 5 minute or less game, get the speed pack!

Auralux is one of if not the best real time strategy game I have ever played. With a good variety of levels ranging in easy to hard ITS AWESOME! ! The only thing that I would have loved to see is a multi player mode, but hey I am nit picking here. Over all LOVED IT!!!! Hope to see a multi player mode soon.

Beautiful game and incredibly soothing despite the conquest goal. I've only played a few levels, but they've loaded instantly and have had no issues. My only complaint, if there is to be one, is that the sound schemes aside from synthetic are rather harsh on the ears. That my only complaint is that something optional doesn't work for me should speak volumes.

Only problem is the touch doesn't work for me for some reason. I'm on a OnePlus One. When I first got this game, it worked flawlessly, but going back to it, the only way to navigate is with the back button until it eventually closes the app from how many times I've pressed back. Hoping a fix will come soon

I enjoy this game so far. Very well put together. Two levels in and I like how it challenges me. The graphics are great. Doesn't demand a lot of resources. Takes time to overcome your opponent I stead of a mad dash, you can actually think out the problem and develop new strategy. Best thing so far is: there doesn't seem to be obtrusive ad content. I like that in a free or paid game.
