Mission briefing
The supply ship left your crew on a bare moon with one command core and a few crates of ore.
It only comes back when the colony can look after itself.
Mine the purple crystals, build, and link everything to the core.
Colony complete!
The ship is on its way back - your colony can stand on its own.
About this game
Star Colony is a free 3D strategy and building game for kids ages 9-12. A supply ship leaves one command core and a small ore cache on a bare moon. From there, children build a connected settlement that can power itself, mine violet crystals, grow food and welcome 20 colonists.
Every module has a real footprint and purpose. Corridors extend the network, geothermal generators make power, miners earn ore, greenhouses and farms grow food, and habitats create homes. A six-step mission chain introduces each system, while animated cargo drones make the colony feel alive.
Drag to orbit the full 3D moon, inspect the glowing status lights and rearrange the plan through another run. Star Colony works directly in the browser on phones, tablets and computers with no ads, accounts or chat.
How to play
- Open the build chip and choose a module from the grouped catalog.
- Tap or click an empty cell on the ground grid to build it there.
- Keep every working building linked to the command core and provide enough power.
- Mine violet crystals, grow food and add habitats until 20 colonists can live there.
- Drag with the mouse or finger to orbit the camera around your colony.
