• [p]PCGamer: "This theme park sim based on a 30-year-old sci-fi movie is so much better than it has a right to be"[/p]
• [p]TheGamer: "Mars Attracts Is One Of My Favourite Surprises Of The Year"[/p]
• [p]TryHardGuides: "manages to carve out a space for itself with charm, humor, and just the right amount of grotesque absurdity"[/p]
• [p]Kotaku: "It’s the weirdest theme park builder I’ve played in a long time, but also a fantastic spin on the genre that sci-fi fans and Mars Attacks lovers will enjoy for hours and hours"[/p]

[p]An interesting theme across most of the press reviews is how surprising it is that the game is good 😂[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]So far we have been delighted with the critical reception to our weird little management game, and we're currently in the process of collating all of the bug reports, suggestions, and bits of feedback to integrate into the development roadmap. If you have any ideas for the game, let us know on the Steam discussion forum or the game's Discord - we'd love to hear what you think![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks again for you support, it means the world to us.[/p][p][/p][p]Love,[/p][p][/p][p]Paul & the Outlier team[/p][p][/p][p]P.S. Please leave a Steam review[/p][p]P.P.S. Seriously, please leave a Steam review 😅[/p]

[p]Over the last three years our small team of developers and artists has been hard at work making Mars Attracts – a twisted park sim where you play as the Aliens from Mars Attacks and put captive humans on display for your Martian guests.  [/p][p][/p][p]It feels a bit strange to say this, but our strange little game is out now![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]That’s right, in case you somehow missed the news, Mars Attracts hit Early Access today. [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]With that we’ve reached the end of the initial development stage. It’s a big relief to say that, but in many ways, this is only the beginning of the Mars Attracts journey.[/p][p][/p][p]What comes next is the really fun part – working with our Early Access players to develop the game even further, with your inspired ideas, crucial feedback and whacky suggestions as our guide. [/p][p][/p][p]Over the next nine months or so we’ll be continuously adding new features to the game, and also allowing the feedback we receive to shape our development roadmap. With any luck, this will make Mars Attracts into a far better game than anything we could have done by ourselves. 
[/p][p]Here’s to the next stage of the Mars Attracts journey – and we look forward to having you alongside us![/p][p]
Love,[/p][p][/p][p]Bernard & the Outlier team[/p]
