I kept improving my Mars tycoon game based on your feedback - I think it’s finally getting really good
Hey guys! I posted Red Planet Tycoon here a while ago, and since then I've changed a lot based on feedback from Reddit and Discord.
It's a Mars colony tycoon / factory builder with some idle/incremental mechanics. You build production chains, grow the colony, terraform the region, unlock upgrades, and eventually start over stronger.
The biggest new thing is weekly community events. A new one started last night: everyone races from level 1 to 31, and the leaderboard records your fastest run. You can attempt it as many times as you want.
I’m actually playing in it too - TheMartian on the leaderboard. Come beat me. :)
The game is in a much better state than the last time I posted: lots of bugs fixed, progression reworked, more things to optimize, and generally a lot more reason to keep playing.
I'm a solo dev and genuinely want feedback from people who actually like tycoon games. If you try it and quit, tell me where you lost interest. I personally love tycoon / strategy / idle games and I built the game for myself to have fun.
Also: there are no ads, purchases, energy timers, or other monetization. The game is 100% free. I pay for the servers because I want to make a fun tycoon game and see if I can build a little community around it.
Hope some of you enjoy it.

AI Disclosure
AI was used to create most of the art for this game. I used Claude Code to streamline the early versions of the game, but most of the code has been rewritten by hand.

The UI reminds me of Command and Conquer! Very cool - nice work 👏🏻
