Auralux: Constellations

A fun strategy game based on capturing planets much like Solarmax on Kongregate. There are multiple constellations, each of which focuses on a different special mechanic. Each are fun, but sadly they never combine. The only real complaint is that the planets can be knocked out before the enemy clears your units. Only the first constellation is totally free, but you can play 2 levels of each constellation as well to try the mechanics. Each constellation costs a dollar, which seems a bit steep for me, but this is a fun game.

I've downloaded all of these games as far as I know and this one beats the others hands down because the controls are better on auralux than the others. The playability is better as a result. However the developers draw you in for free but want 9 pound for the rest of the game, just as you are getting in to it, from the second constellation which I think is a rip off. 3 pound would be a fair deal in my opinion.

This game is wonderful! I love all the new features and content. My only regret is that I wish I could buy a bundle of all the levels for $5! Also though too the entire multiplayer system needs to be remade, at least the engine that sets up the games. I have had no success with finding more than one opponent. I would recommend you guys emulate asphalt 8's engine, its pretty decent. Also you could sell your souls and charge for in game perks, and have a ranking system, all just like asphalt 8. Still this is a huge improvement from your first game good job! Its a beautiful game and super fun!

The first game was incredible and addictive and myself and family were happy to pay for the extra levels/features (something I don't do often) as they were worth every cent. My only complaint was a lack of multilayer capability but it's here. It's a little buggy on invitees but plays smoothly and is a blast. There is way more in the free play and I haven't even neared the end of free content but I'm sure I'm pay for the rest afterward if for no other reason but gratitude. Cheers guys, well done.

Really good game, if it were a little cheaper I'd have purchased the full levels without thinking about it. Unfortunately 9 pounds is just too expensive for the extra levels. The multiplayer is great... When it works, I don't know if there just aren't enough players playing or it's the engine that needs some work. Maybe drop the price for the full levels and more people might play?

So I played the first game coming into this one excited, now it's really cool. I did say about the last one, that I wish there was multi-player, and I'm proud to say that they do. Everything else is good, they added it so you can increase the speed, it's good like the first one... except the pay to play, after the first constellation, you can't really play more unless you want multi-player. Which is like the last one, also the control, sometimes when I tried zooming out, it selected all. So meh, 7/10..

Excellent game. Simple concept, very fun. My only complaint is the controls, specifically the three finger tap that allows you to select all of your units. Often just using two fingers will select all of them, and I'll wind up sending all my units into deep space by accident. I don't know if there's any way to fix this or not

This is a very cool concept for a simple RTS game. The game basics are very easy to learn and the controls couldn't be any more simple. The colours and sounds are very pleasing to the senses. Taking control of a system of planets has never been more relaxing and challenging at the same time. The AI is random enough that any round of play can be easy or hard and may require several tries to get through. Patience and cunning are required.

It's a great game, it's a lot of fun. But I only give it 3 stars cus of the cost. The first constellation is free, but it wants you to pay a dollar a piece for the other 13. If it was only $1-3 for the rest of the content I'd be fine, but $13? I can't think of any full mobile game that's worth that. You get the first constellation and also the online mode, but I have never found anybody online. Idk if the server or what, but I always select it to auto match the other 3 players and it has never found me anybody no matter how long I wait. I really hope they take care of that, because otherwise it's an extremely fun and well conceived game.

It's so good I been waiting for it to come out on Android. Amazing 3D graphics. Bought it for the PC when it first came out... I'm so addicted its funny lol. Worth the money. It's even free to play. Playing threw all the levels is a challenge, and it's so smooth and soothing to play with a great soundtrack. Best time waster ever. So download if you have nothing to do. My favorite Android game.

I believe the game is getting better in the right ways. With the adversity in controls could come a complexity in the ai - perhaps a miniature macro system would work well, where you could 'start commands' and then 'repeat commands', so i could send two separate resources two separate ways perpetually. In any case, the game looks good, and is a great way to blow some time. New graphics in v2 of the game made it intuitive to see by the orbital design how much output is made, which was very nice.

Excellent and unique RTS game! Would have given it 5 stars if wasn't for: 1.Too expensive for a mobile game ($3 for the whole game would be a more fair price), 2.Needs better controls, f.ex. the possibility to automatically command all new generated fighters from one planet to another. 3.The game hasn't been updated in nearly a year. Have the dev abandoned it?

Much better than the original. One of my favorite games. The only thing I dislike is that you have to pay $10 for all of the constellations (level sets) as a bundle. I think $6 to $8 would be more fair, but it's still a good game and you get two trial levels for each constellation.

I loved the game, and thought I would actually buy the unopened screens, which I had looked at in level 2 & 3 for $1 each, then I saw the option to purchase the whole thing for "less than 50%". Well that sounded good.... until I saw the price... $10. Wow...how is that half off? So I went thru all the levels....$24 to buy them individually? Nope..... Yeah.. you have it listed as "in app purchases". Technically, this is a trial version. Play 2 screens on a level, then pay for the rest. Drop the price, and you might actually make more money, because more people would buy it. It's a shame. I liked this version better than the first one, but I'll keep playing the free screens, and look for other games.

I searched for about a week for an RTS game like I used to play when I was a kid. All the games I tried weren't what I was looking for but then I found the first version of this game. Which led me to this game and it is exactly what I've been looking for. It's perfect guys I love it and I play it almost daily. I love it how you give us chances to try 2 levels of each constellation but yet still a for constellation without paying. I really can't give this game enough praise. It was a little hard at the beginning getting the handle of it but now I repeat levels over and over just a crush the green and red planet cuz they aggravated me the game before LOL. Five stars all around guys!!!!

Great Game! I've been here since the first game came out and I absolutely loved the concept and game as a whole. This is one of the rare times a game's sequal surpasses the original I'm all the right ways. I'm so glad they made this game and made it multiplayer. I am going to go back and endulge myself in some more war.

First game where I can actually listen to the music - in fact it adds to the experience. Try it. Its worthy of a gander. I just completed the first constellation, and while the idea is very basic (simple puzzles), new dynamics are added with orbiting planets later which adds a very in depth strategic approach as a requirement to success. This game looks simple but it creators undoubtedly spent a great many hours pouring through code to balance it well. I don't know how much new constellations cost yet but if it's about 5 bucks each it's worth it. This game would also be good for your kids to keep their brains working out of school but on something fun that will have a huge impact. "This is the best game. Yuuuuge game. Love this game. Trust me. I've seen all the games. I know." :')

Another great game. Price is off though. I played the first so I knew what I was getting into. Same idea with a few nice new twists. I also really like that you can personalize you planet and the others too. Great job! Edit: I feel $10 is a bit high of a asking price. It is your game though so charge what you want. However, 13 levels at $1 per is $13. $10 is not a 50% discount. Don't lie. It's in poor taste.

Just like the original game this is a great second in the series. Multilayer is a fun addition. The only thing I could say is that multilayer games shouldn't end if the host quits. 4 out of 6 games I have been winning but the host leaves because he was defeated so I don't get the win.

Easily my favorite mobile game. To those people whinging about the price - man it's totally worth it, I've gotten hours and hours of it so far. Yeah it can get difficult, there's about 10 levels I just cannot beat (yet) but most aren't too hard. The first Auralux is awesome too, after you upgrade to fast mode. Simple, relaxing strategy A+

Simple to learn and lots of thinking fun. Edit: rated this 5 stars as a free game and thought it was great, so paid the extortion for full game. Found the full game doesn't scale up in skill and difficulty well at all. Some maps are ridiculously hard because 2 ai's will always attack human player first. Great free but wouldn't purchase again.

Like suddenly when i press in somewhere empty.. all the units directly go there.. i know about the double tap function.. but it makes it worse so please make controls easier and more understanding.. plus upgrading a planet is not so clear so please add numbers and stuff so the one knows what he is doing.. thanks for this game.

I played the first version of this game quite some time ago and was hooked for hours on end. Now the second one is even better! I LOVE the revamped design of the levels, most of all the movement of the planets in orbit levels. I don't know how anyone could dislike this game. Incredibly Well done.

I absolutely love this game. Idk about the others saying it's "relaxing". I'm on the edge of my chair! Action packed in my opinion. Have to be quick, tactical and strategic, and have perfect timing. But w quite simple goals. Which is awesome. The controls take a bit if getting used to but r great. The maps themselves add a lot intensity to game play. I've played every lvl that I can over and over w/out spending money. I'm so hooked. I would easily give 5 stars but u have to pay to unlock ea constlation. Which is a super bummer. I know It will get old for me soon because I won't pay, but for now it's an obsessive game! Try it!

Great. Similar to a lot of other linear strategy games, but so far I like this one the most. (Edit: beat all the free levels...2 per constellation... Unfortunately appears I'd have to purchase individual levels from here. I'd be more likely to buy all the levels for $5 than each level individually.)

Great game, but way too expensive. $10 to play all the levels is really steep for a game like this - I'd understand the pay-by-the-level model if each level were unique and required lots of design work, but the levels here are just different planet configurations. Comparable games are going for a dollar, maybe $3. I love the game (I enjoyed the first Auralux too), but just not willing to pay that price.

It is, and has remained the only game I have purchased. One must decide to hold one's ground, attack, or build up for a "surprise attack". The graphics are very good. The user interface straight forward and easy to use. There are levels that are almost unbeatable and there are those that allow you to build a strength thousands of times that of opponents. Your non-benevolent self can crush them. :)

Really basic fundamentals applied to a unique design. Have a planet wit orbiting thingies. More spawn. Takes 100 to colonize another planet. Other planets attack you. Defend and win. But it's really pretty. Ultimate game for killing time offline. Also has online but have not played it that way yet.

I always wanted a strategic game, I've played some strategic games but sooner or later it kinda bored me, but Auralux... It is totally out of this world, beautifully crafted, awesome gameplay, cool graphics... I'm gonna buy the whole package if possible. I FRICKIN LOVE IT !!

AI almost never attack eachother, they make you their priority even if you have more orbs on a planet than the other AI next to them. On top of that they have the unfair advantage of knowing exactly how many orbs it will take to kill all of your orbs how many it will take to kill your planet and how many to take over a planet so they get the jump on pretty much everything because they know exactly how many orbs they have. Also seems like they produce orbs a lot faster than you do.

It's an awesome game, different ,time killer and most of all, very stragicle! Gets really hard after a while but still fun! Keeps asking me to rate the game, when I already did. Ok so this is the 5th time keeps asking me to rate it! I'm gana go head and rate it 5 stars if it keeps asking I'm jst gana go head and rate it 1. How bout that? I think that's fair enough.

Sorry if you don't get the reference... but this game is absolutely winner. The first version was a winner and this one, as previously stated, is a winner. I was asked to choose between my beloved kids or this game... It would be the game. And that is quite a statement considering I have no kids. Bravo chaps.

Had already played the first one and they improved a lot with this one. I really enjoy this kind of strategy games. Nice colors, IA is okay, tutorial is useful if you're new, controls feel better now according to me. Too bad the extra levels are crazy expensive for what they are

I am truly enjoying this game. The graphics are pretty sweet and It really makes you think and plan your next move out. The first one was also good but they really took it up a few notches. I can't wait to get to the third on to see what challenges await.

The original Auralux was the best RTS game for mobile devices, hands down. It was simple, elegant, and crazy addictive. I played it nearly every day for over a year. Now, they have managed to make a completely faithful recreation of the original while also making it exciting and new. You won't be able to put this game down.

This basic space strategy game is quite fun until you reach the edge of the first constellation. Then.. well the cheapness kicks in, don't you mean difficilty? No I mean cheap shots. The AI pretty much gangs up on you and you will spend hours of frustration trying to overcome them both. Basically the game goes from fun to frustration fast and this is from someone who did not even get frustrated with and completed dark souls. If you are a sadist who likes cheap game mechanics, you will love this game!

Great core concept. Gameplay vs. AI quickly becomes a stale repeatable dance. The biggest knock is the pay for more levels in small doses at a cost per level ratio bordering on insane. About a dollar a constellation, but there are 14 of them... Maybe if there was more substance but it is the same dance with slightly nuanced timing.

Reminds me of those custom Starcraft levels way back when units just spawned in by the hundreds on a blank map and you had to win by massive movement. Haven't played multi-player, but so far vs the computer is fun

Unfortunatelly too expensive for what it offers. 20$ to unlock all!? It seems that nowdays every developer wants to milk players as much as possible. What happened to honest pay once for whole game? 4 stars for game, but pricing is a bit ripoff. Also it tends to be repetitive after few played levels.

Have to buy each constellation?!. Adds up fast.. Some of the records are highly questionable. 54 seconds on the 'Mass' round..yeah right. Also doesn't transfer progress over google play from device to device properly. Started on one device, first time login on second device it transfered, BUT after I logged out it ERASED it! Logged back in to second device says hello to 'player ' and no progress what so ever!
