Auralux: Constellations

For a fast paced and sometimes very challenging game, I find this very relaxing. Well done. Superb graphics, audio, and gameplay. Game is near perfect. Lost one star because this interface is a step down from the original auralux interface. I can't even pinpoint why. But I have lost more than one game when things were going very well and I accidentally do things I don't mean to do just because I accidentally made a similar gesture for something else entirely. Didn't happen to me in auralux 1.

Unique concept, and very well implemented. Simple rules, very well explained. The game quickly becomes addictive, and the difficulty level increases at just the right rate; there aren't so many easy levels that it gets boring after a week, and the difficulty increase from level to level is gradual rather than abrupt, making it challenging but not impossible.

Please please please fix this game. Brilliant game, fun to play. Great for developing strategic thinking, super cool graphics and I like the music too. Liked ot so much I played for the 3xtra levels and it was worth it. Levels go from easy to hard, some can be very challenging but with persistence can be beat. Super gratifying. But since the update it's now unplayable on.my android device. Boooo. I wanna play so I can beat the final few levels. Replaying beaten levels can be fun too high score

Good game. Really enjoy it. The concept is nice. It is fun to play, but the controls are a bit jank to use. That's really the only thing bringing it down. Taking it down to 2 stars because it started asking for payment without warning WELL into the game. I really don't appreciate underhanded business tactics like that. If you are gonna use paywalls then at least put them in the beginning. Otherwise it is very scummy.

Very fun game, will occupy hours of your life with its challenging yet somehow calming gameplay. Although it is paid for the later levels, it has no ads. I haven't yet bought more, but I am considering it. The only issue is the unit selection system which is a little hard to get used to, but the game overall is incredible.

The concept is clever. The graphics are quite beautiful and customizable. The challenge increases appropriately through each level. The user interface is atrocious and detracts from all the other good things about the game. EDIT: Some of the harder levels are waaaay toooo hard. It's not fun when you are completely outnumbered from the start and when all the opponents target you. The terrible interface makes some of the levels seem impossible. More infuriating than relaxing.

The game itself is excellent. The touch interface is horrible. Holy cow is it horrible. It doesn't register 80% of the clicks, it locks you into a movement mode when you're trying to click on worlds, it randomly registers clicks in the middle of nowhere. It's badddddddd. The game would be 5 stars otherwise.

I was quite enjoying this game actually, so much so that I actually paid for the extra levels, something I've almost never done. Soon as I did, it changed from a casual game where a bit of strategy easily got through, to a relentless 2 on 1 assault where you have barely enough resources to survive and the enemies basically ignore each other

Changing my review to 1 star as the controls were changed at some point and no longer function. Very frustrating as I used to enjoy this game a great deal. I think it is the best of its genre on the store when the controls work as they used to. flawlessly! FIX IT.

Touch interface/controls make precise control difficult and causes fumbles. Gameplay from the original is smoother. Only get to play two lvls on the second constellation before you have to purchase the rest of the levels. Honestly no idea why they made a second game for this instead of adding an update to the original. Good idea for orbits but not much fun when there are only two free lvls to play.

I agree with some of the previous posts in that all of the "enemies" seem to gang up against the player (you), while nearly always ignoring each other. In addition, as you increase difficulty, the "enemies" seem to have better placement, giving them a clear advantage, all while mainly targeting the player. I realize some people enjoy the challenge, but I liked it when I could use this as a more relaxing game to play before going to bed. Maybe there should be an "Auralux 3: Relaxations" ;)

I played the first one and the controls actually work as described. opposed to how this one works. It's supposed to be that, if you tap and don't drag it, it does nothing, if you tap and you drag, it draws a circle. if you press and hold your supposed to be able to move. It randomly decides which is going to do you have virtually no control over whether you're going to move your units or your whole screen is going to randomly shoot to the opposite side of the map or randomly change Circle size.

Great strategy game, like the concept and the graphics are nice. I think the level difficulty jumps up a bit quick. Easy is almost too easy, then some normal levels seem nearly impossible. I also found the controls to be a bit glitchy at times - when moving the camera at times it also selects all the units which apparently can't be unselected so it can screw up the strategy/moves. Also some levels and versus mode are locked despite beating several levels.

Just the right level of challenging for me. Some levels are easy, others quite tough. You have to study the level and try different approaches to master the levels. Sometimes it I possible to fumble and your units don't exactly do what you had in mind, but with some practise this can be overcome.

I never play mobile games, but I got hooked to this. I went from feeling like the levels were impossible to knocking each out in 1-3 tries. I feel like I'm breaking the levels by spamming the send all button to build my planets as fast as possible and wrecking the others with my army lol. Music is great too. I like to put it on while working. I want a sequel XD

The interaction is way too janky. It's hard to play, not because of the difficulty, but because there is so much trouble selecting the units you want. Then the map moves on you. The concept is good, but the controls make it utterly unplayable.

Great game. You get several levels for free. Then you have to buy the rest but it is at a very reasonable rate. Most stages are around 10¢ a piece. Creators should get something back for there time and effort. I have played for a few hours now without getting a single ad. I don't think it has any.

It's simple and beautiful, I could moan but your not allowed to do much anyway, if I where you I'd focus on moving the particles with the music in ways that make better music when they hits, even train AI for the task, have new instruments play when planets are colonized an deepen key as their upgraded.. stuff like that doesn't hurt any agendas.

I have paid for content on the original Auralux, so I love the game. When I saw there was a follow-up game with more maps, new concepts, and improved graphics, I immediately downloaded it. That being said, the only improvement to the original is the overall look of the game. The touch interface is, however, ABYSMAL. The game registers that you're trying to move the whole screen when all you do is tap the screen, making it almost unplayable.

This a a great game. But something is wrong with the controls. When I select a target, at least half the time it either does nothing or becomes a scroll controller. And sometimes, a tap will somehow select your entire force and send it to the middle of nowhere. I love playing the game, but I've had to abandon the level 3 times now because the faulty controls destroyed my position and I couldn't salvage the damage... Please work on it!

Don't get me wrong, I loved this game and I bought it. But when I switched to a newer phone (from a Blackberry KeyOne to the Key2), the mechanics changed. When I select an area, it asks me to click again to finalize it, and often just erases my area and takes a guess at what I might want to select. Sometimes the second or third click moves the screen instead of selecting the area or target. It now takes several clicks to do anything, with a lot of mistakes. And what's with the blue arrows? Ugh.

Awesome game, love it, it's highly addictive, in a good way of course, the simplicity of the game makes it easy to pick up and jump into. With ever scaling levels the game teaches you the fundamentals as you play the real campaign, levels get harder with orbiting planets and supernovas just to name a few cool things. I Gave the graphics a 3 as the are beyond simple but entirely relevant, otherwise it would be lower. The Controls could use an upgrade, holding three fingers down just to move the screen plus it has the simultaneous effect of selecting all your units so if you hold it at the wrong pressure you screw yourself over. It's a chess game, one wrong move and you could be done. Controls again, moving the screen and zooming out at the beginning of each level gives the computer or human player a chance to get ahead. Other than the control issues the game is great and I would personally recommend a download.

Awesome game! Much better than the first version. Considering to buy the full game because the free levels were so good, but not sure if they're enough of a challenge because the free levels were pretty easy. Only problem is that you can't send units to surround a not fully upgraded star, they will always try to upgrade it. That can be a nuisance when defending. Rest of the game is awesome

One free constellation and free trials of all the others. The whole game is $10 and I'd guess could last 10-20 hours of fun. I was struck by how well thought out a lot of the modifiers seemed, and how they changed the game but never broke it. Favorite would be the shockwaves, which add a rhythm to the game, at first you're pressed for defense and then can go on the offense again. Controls were rough to get used to but work really well for mobile. I would like a way to cancel an order.

I am a number one fan of this amazing and challenging strategy game. I have also invited most of my friends to play this too. In years of playing, I haven't faced an unwanted bug in it. But when I updated my android version to Pie, the game controls are no longer friendly. I tried reinstalling the game a lot of times but the same problem would appear. When ordering the selected units to a specified direction, the "X"mark(pan) would appear, and I need to tap the screen repeatedly to disable it....
