Awesome game. Stuck at 108.6%. Any idea how can I reach 110%?

Not suggesting that you're 'playing it wrong' or anything, the controls don't work for everybody, especially on iPhone where the screen real estate is reduced.

You might really enjoy the jetpack you get •••Spoiler:  from 0CT0... if you play that far into the game!

I think the controls largely work okay. I applaud the developers for striking to keep a simple control scheme. However I do wish they where refined a little (not exactly sure how) to allow for smoother one hand control, especially when planting.

Smooth effortless controls go a long way to keep the player immersed in such a heavily designed and polished environmental experience as Waking Mars.

I need feran zoa seeds for the "hopes and dreams" level, but there are none...

Is the game borked?

Just get some feran zoa seeds from another chamber then.

How do I get the second and third(?) endings? I have all of the biomass areas at 5 stars and the core power is 36 and I haven't gotten the gate open yet.

You don't need to do anything with it. It is just to show you how to open the pod, which will come into play later. The spidery thing is inactive.

No, the game is not borked, you'll need to use the map to travel to a previous room so that you can collect seeds from one of the plants. I usually go to "The Meadows" when I need Feran seeds.

You haven't found enough rooms. My Core is at 72 and I am not finished. Has anyone found the 2nd fossil?

I'm loving this game, but I have to ask why the astronaut is so pixelated, especially compared to the rest of the images? It's particularly noticeable (and jarring) when you get to the base and everything is gorgeous retina but the astronaut looks like 8-bit graphics. I'm running this on a new retina-display iPad 3rd gen device, if that makes a difference.

Really... 8bit?
