I love this game!! I used to play it when I was a kid and got so excited when I found an Android version, very grateful. Removed 1 star as there is some need to keep up with newer Android versions. l use pixel 2 and the game works as long as I don't leave the screen. Otherwise I have to close the game and reopen it. Suggested improvements: ability to completely split a fleet to individual ships directly, bigger buttons etc.

Completely broken. Apparently not being kept up with newer versions of Android. Locks up and won't respond. The game was a classic back in the day, but this Android port is garbage.

Still brilliant, sometimes frustrating. I've been playing since Windows 3.1. I still play at least one a week, but it's not optimized for Android. I can't name new stars when I win, and new challenges don't seem to open up. Or maybe I've topped out? I still love this game and will continue to play until this tablet dies. Will it be updated at some point for new Android versions?

Spectacular, the controls are pretty great considering this is a 1999 game or earlier. I literally bought this without a second though and don't regret it one bit. You can still name your ships, even already developed ones, just click on the name.

Been playing for about 20 years. A true classic, but best on Apple platforms.

About this app

***Called "one of my favorite classic Macintosh games" by none other than Wil Wheaton! http://bit.ly/10CIpPK***

Spaceward Ho! is a strategic game of awesome scope. You control the entire military and economy of a spacefaring race. Your goal: explore and colonize the galaxy.

Unfortunately, you are not alone. Alien enemies bent on galactic conquest will oppose your expansion. You fight them by developing new technologies and expanding your empire, or you can ally with them to turn enemies into friends.

Terraform newly discovered worlds or mine their natural resources. Maneuver your starship fleets, both in defense of your own systems and in offensive strikes against the evil aliens. Your strategic decisions will determine the fate of the galaxy.

Based on the original Mac/PC/Palm game and updated for Android.

For new players, read the Help file and also watch the tutorial video online.
