Project Terrarium is a creative puzzle-simulation game where you take on the role of a cosmic architect. Your mission is to travel to desolate planets and transform them into lush habitats. Strategically place life-giving modules, manage delicate biomes, and watch as your creations evolve and flourish. With dozens of unique planets to restore and a relaxing, atmospheric presentation, it’s a journey of discovery and ecological restoration among the stars.

Our Expert Score
Project Terrarium is a masterclass in 'cosmic gardening' and atmospheric puzzle design. As an expert in minimalist simulations, I was captivated by the game's loop of restoring life to barren, terraformed planets. It manages to be both a relaxing creative outlet and a challenging spatial puzzle. You have to carefully manage resources like water and energy to ensure your ecosystem thrives, all while navigating the unique environmental constraints of each planet.
The art direction is stunning—clean, vibrant, and incredibly satisfying to watch as a grey, rocky moon slowly transforms into a lush, green paradise. The sound design is equally impressive, with a low-fi, ambient soundtrack that perfectly complements the meditative gameplay. It’s a rare mobile game that feels meaningful; every flower you plant and every river you divert feels like a small victory against the void of space. It’s a polished, thoughtful experience that respects the player's time.

Tips & Walkthrough
Each plant species has specific environmental requirements. Before placing a new forest, ensure you have a nearby water source to maintain the humidity levels. Over-planting without enough water will lead to a rapid collapse of your ecosystem.
Gameplays
Solar panels are your primary power source. Place them on high ground or the sunny side of a planet to ensure your water pumps and oxygen generators have enough energy to run through the planetary night cycle.

Ratings & Reviews
Excellent game. Small pet peeve.
Sun Jun 25 2023 Gold ArchitectI love this game, and it was definitely worth the purchase for all the levels. However, there is no option to mute the game entirely. You can mute the music and ambient sounds, but the game still makes lots of noise with button pressing and other things like the whispering from the hidden orbs. This might just be me, but I would like the option to mute the game entirely without having to mute my phone. I usually listen to my own music or audiobooks while I play mobile games, and the game sounds tend to clash with the audio I’m trying to enjoy.
It’s just ok given it’s a game you have to pay for
Sat Jan 11 2025 srtvarehareivIt’s a cash-grab from what seems like a very amateur developer. The graphics are clunky, the ending sequence is the exact same for every level, which is lazy. The game glitches and freezes at times, so you have to start levels over. If you don’t do some of the puzzles in the exact right order, you can’t finish the level and have to start the level over. Some of the puzzles make zero logical or mathematical sense, and when you get a hint, it sometimes doesn’t match the puzzle you’re on, or the hint goes way too fast with way too many steps to remember. And you can’t skip puzzles to simply move on. Some of it is fun, but a lot of it is so crappy it’s not worth the money. Developers should only require payment for a game that is literally flawless, and this has tons of flaws.
great but glitchy
Sun Apr 09 2023 GeophanyLove the UI and the puzzles and everything, but sometimes a puzzle isn’t solvable. When I reboot the level I see that parts had been missing or had disappeared. Especially levels 10 and 15, but I had to restart many levels because of glitches. And when you do a level again, you don’t get to find the three little sphere bots! In one late level (with the large turning wheel and switches around the edge like a ship’s wheel), the series of clues in the screen above the keyhole were not there so it was super frustrating (and impossible) to try to solve and once again I had to restart. I think I had to restart 35-40% of the levels. I’m on iPhone 14 Pro with the latest software.
Worth the money
Sun Apr 23 2023 sir13527I usually find puzzle games boring after a while but this one is super! I bought the full version and I can tell the creators put effort into this game. The visuals are very appealing and I love the creative designs of the robots and the puzzles. I’m not finished yet but I think it’s also awesome that it has a story too! Even after finishing the puzzles and story I’ll probably still play them again just to look at the pretty graphics lol
On level 2 of 4 free
Wed Dec 07 2022 GreypatchesoreoSKIP FOR TRUE FUN AND EITHER PLAY 1000’s if free escape style games for free with ads. Or pay $2-5 bucks and get COUNTLESS HOURS OF GAMES YOULL SAVOR N WISH NEVER ENDED. Poor rip off of similar more popular games like this. They’re not that fun, anyway, but NOT A CHANCE am I paying $7 for 12 more levels, if I finish the 4. Trying to make it cute friendly robot level 1 was cheesy. These are like 4 simple puzzles n level done. Same tired stuff. Why pay near $8 with tax for 10min of game play, when Glitch Games, House of DaVinci 1-3, Eye of Ara, even Broken Age, Machanarium, Isoland Games, The Journey Down Series, Inner world, so many funny ones and good ones, they slip my mind…but, oh my…just do searches under similar with those and the rabbit hole of Funny and Smart games with HOURS N HOURS of fun is there and new ones release by these companies. Fan of creepy but intelligent …Rusty Lake, Forgotten series’, Edna, Fran Bow, endless. REALLY? I saw the reviews first and hate these anyway, but Idk it would be THIS cheesy and not enjoyable. iPhone 13 max n graphics are sub par. Don’t expect ppl to pay $1 for a literal minute of so-so at best, ‘puzzles’. 🤦♀️🙄
I paid for bugs
Wed Mar 01 2023 Really Passionate RanterThis game is awesome, and the pretty much demo levels were spotless and very fun, but on the later levels the confusion gets too much for me, which might be a personal issue, but regardless whenever I go to watch the hints, the hint videos are completely useless! They honestly might intentionally be just previews of where to tap and not solve, but even if they were there’s no possible way to use the help options in the later levels. Want my money back, but this game is so addicting and I wish it was finessed a bit better because it’s so close to perfect.
I LOVED the game when I had it, I redownloaded it, but...
Wed Mar 13 2024 evogeckoFirst of all, I freakin LOVED this game! I would’ve kept it but I don’t have money to continue the app. I decided to redownload it because it was super fun! But every time I try and open it up, it keeps kicking me out! Like sure, I hear the noise and see a screen before it actually loads, then when I finally see it, it then freezes and kicks me! I’m really upset about this and idk if it’s just my IPad problems or just a bug, but either way I’m really sad about it. I had a bad day and the app not loading makes it worse 😖
Great Puzzler
Tue Jan 28 2025 natordogThe puzzles are difficult enough without being aggravating and they have logical solutions. The sets and scenery are gorgeous. It’s funny to see people irate that they only get a couple of levels before they have to pay for the full game. The absolute nerve of these developers to invest time and effort into a project and expect you to compensate them for their hard work. Everything should be given to me for free.
