Text-based colony ship game

Features & Capabilities

An AI ship full of frozen colonists must find the best planet to be the new home of the human race. This is a randomly-generated text-based strategy game.

Push your luck: settle here on this not-quite-ideal world, or keep searching and risk your ship being damaged in the journey. Planets you encounter are randomly generated, and as you travel you face random events, so each playthrough is different. See the stories of the colonies you found, and keep aiming for a higher score.

User Reviews

Seedship offers deep, replayable text-driven strategy with meaningful moral choices and diverse endings, all without monetization. However, players repeatedly cite lack of updates, occasional UI glitches, and RNG frustration as ongoing concerns, along with a wish for more content and audio polish.

Pros

Rich, branching narrative with many endings and consequential choices.
High replayability due to random encounters and varied outcomes.
Monetization-free experience: no ads or microtransactions.
Engaging and thought-provoking sci-fi premise focused on AI control and colonist survival.
Accessible, bite-sized gameplay that remains strategically deep and offers a satisfying results-tracking feature to compare runs.

Cons

Lack of active updates; the game hasn’t been updated in years according to many reviews.
UI bugs and glitches, particularly on iOS, can disrupt play (e.g., scrolling/box issues).
RNG-driven outcomes can feel punishing or random, sometimes making progress frustrating and repetitive.
A desire for more content, including additional events, backstory, and deeper post-landing options.

Recent reviews

This game seems simple, but it has many hidden depths and surprising turns, and is a really fun diversion when I’ve got a few minutes to kill. I love the way it forces you to trade off the destruction of your ship with your desire to just get to a planet where your colonists will thrive! Worth a download to check out.

The UI has had some odd issues on the current versions of iOS that have been a little discouraging to play 3: But for many moons I played nonstop for hours trying to find the best places to land, the best combination of variables, ETC. It fascinates me to no end the possibilities (I did get annoyed a handful of times by the random chance for damages in certain events).
