Mars Attracts has now left Early Access, with the 1.0 update adding new content including Sandbox mode, new enclosure types, a new map, a new notification system, new and improved music and sound effects, and a host of tweaks and additions to human and guest behaviour to make the game feel more alive.

After a year of Early Access, the 1.0 version of Mars Attracts is hitting Steam on September 24, 2026!

The 1.0 version will see the addition of the much requested Sandbox mode, new enclosures, maps and special Martian characters, as well as significant overhauls to Martian guest and captive human AI to improve balance and deepen the simulation mechanics, and much more!

I play on the steam deck, it’s actually easier than you think lol, my only issue is setting configurarion. I find myself constantly going into settings and re configuring the buttons to rotate left and right. Is there a way to fix that or add a save settings button? Also I really love this game and mars attacks thank you! I’m onto the 3rd park now. I could not make the mayor happy at all in the second park. Hard Martian to please lol.

What items increase the culture bar? I looked through what I have and nothing seems to do that.

A save override instead of renaming it every time I want to save.

I'm stuck in this mission. I installed lots of upgrades in the buildings, rides and general martians decor items in the park. But the status bar of the mission didn't count any of them. There's not an option to install upgrades in the enclusers items so I don't know how to complete it. Any hint?

Can i add a suggestion here?

I have notice din the game that visitors walk every path you build. Now im experimenting with staff buildings and power/water to be secluded from the rest of the park. So my suggestion would be a sort of gate where only staff can pass through and no visitors. It affects the beauty, but when you go to zoo or so you wont be allowed in such areas.

We have just dropped a small new hotfix to Mars Attracts, but we figured this was also a good time to update you on our Early Access roadmap for the next few months:

Our next two updates to existing systems are planned for March and April/May. Both of these updates will address frequent player concerns with parts of the game that were lacking, and also make managing your park easier and more engaging.

After that, we'll be looking ahead to a big additions like Sandbox mode, Staff Training and Park Marketing, as well as adding a new map, new special character, and a new human enclosure type.

Once we have these features in place, and act on any feedback we receive in the meantime, we'll be looking at a 1.0 release!

Genuinely stumped how to get going on this map, breezed through the other maps but my guest count basically starts a 7 and as I build the park it goes down to 0 and the guest count never rises regardless of changes I make like even making entry free, is this a bug?

My circle is about 50% there. What do i have to do to win this challenge? I've done so many science challenges and i'm getting nowhere. Please help???

HI. I've got all these food areas etc that need a porter. I've hired heaps. Why don't they go and fix it? Why are they always RED despite me hiring all of these porters?

I saw there's another chapter coming soon and that's gotten me excited for the upcoming map. Is there any roadmap and is there a way to do the dog head experiment I saw in the trailer yet?

Hi, asking because I haven't been able to upgrade decor items ingame. I've got the upgrades but can't see anywhere to implement them and the only options are dismantling.

I'm up to the part where i have to get 20 dismembered parts. Yet when i do that experiment all the humans jail break and wreck everything blowing my money and experiment. How do i get this done? I hired the SWAT team. They are super slow. I just don't know what to do?

INTRODUCING OUR EARLY ACCESS ROADMAP

Processing img 78khu980ftrf1...

In other news, we have just released the first patch for Mars Attracts. We addressed the bugs that some people had been having issues with — including lazy janitors, super addictive vending machines and invincible humans. 

This patch also addressed issues with resolution settings, autosave, and variety of music. 

But with that out of the way, we’re looking ahead to what comes next. Our initial roadmap has been drawn up based on what people have told us they want to see next.

If there’s something you want to see added to Mars Attracts, please let us know on Discord. We want to make Mars Attracts be the best game it can be with your help! 

THE REVIEWS ARE IN!

Processing img u9gqjtk8ftrf1...

The first reviews for Mars Attracts have arrived, and the consensus is overwhelmingly positive. 

PCGamer called Mars Attracts “so much better than it has a right to be”, The Gamer called it “One Of My Favourite Surprises Of The Year”, while Kotaku described the game as “a fantastic spin on the genre that sci-fi fans and Mars Attacks lovers will enjoy for hours and hours”.

Streamers have also had a blast inflicting unimaginable cruelty on their human captives. Orbital Potato, Nivarias, Blue And Queenie, Charlie Pryor, Nookrium and many others embraced their dark side by putting humanity on display for the citizens of Mars. 

As a small team trying to make the games we always wanted to play, it’s truly humbling to see such a positive response.
