Waking Mars by Tiger Style, Universal, TouchArcade Game of the Year 2012

This game is beyond brilliant!!

Is there a way to save to another save slot (aside from starting a new game)?

And I too would appreciate any help on the 2nd fossil

My core is 42, which I thought was high but now know is not!!
Thanks for that one, macneice4!

I'm stuck on the cascades. Early on (before I knew what I was doing), I planted a bunch of cephads. The acid drips converted them to acid zephads, and then they acidified all the terrain at the top of the level, killing the Ledon Zoa that had floated up there.

I've re-alkalinized those terrain now, but:
1) two of them contain cephads now that I can't get rid of, because I can't aim Feran seeds up the chutes. And cephads don't have enough biomass.

2) The Ledon at the bottom of the room aren't producing any more seeds, ever. I've already enriched their soil. So I can't repopulate the top terrain with Ledon.

3) I can't aim Halid Zoa seeds up the chutes to populate them with halids, either.


There are a few phyta at the bottom of the level. I suppose I could haul halid seeds in ten at a time and multiply them until i hit Biomass 5, but that's going to be a lot of trips. Are there any other options? Any way to get the Ledon producing seeds again?

It's in the same zone where you found the 1st fossil.

I found a solution. •••Spoiler:  I killed the Ledon Zoa and planted Halids, and they fed a huge crop of Phyta.

Really... 8bit?

Seriously. Attached is a crop from a screenshot, otherwise unmodified. iPad3 Retina never looked so blocky It doesn't matter, it's a super fun game and I'm loving it, but something seems wrong here...

looks like i killed the last blue cephad seed. so is there no way to transform a yellow seed/plant into a blue?
i have 3 in "the cascades" but they're on the upper wall, and every time a plant spits one out they burst on the rock.

You can turn a yellow to blue with a blue seed, if that's what you're asking. I'm not sure what you mean about not being able to get seeds from the blues that are there though. I don't know a single place in the game where you can't just stay in front of a plant and get a seed from it.

Hi. New to the forums and need some help.
•••Spoiler:  I have been to the power station and feed to seeds to double the power. My power is now and 72 and I am getting a prompt to go back to the power station but I have no idea what I am supposed to do
Fantastic game by the way.

Hey dclose,

Yeah.... Base Camp is SORT OF ridiculous. We kind of turned it into a joke •••Spoiler:  (the music, the folding chair, the basketball hoop, etc).

The player character source art is only so many pixels high. When we zoom the camera in that closely -- which only really happens in Base Camp -- the character appears super blocky. It should look perfectly acceptable in pretty much all other game scenarios. Sorry if that's distracting to you! You shouldn't be spending toooo much time in Base Camp anyway

If you're at 72, you're done with the power station and you should have a mission objective telling you to return to the helm.
