    Great gameplay, medium graphics, extremely annoying dialogs. I stopped playing because of the dialogs, they just won't shut up. The science isn't terribly accurate either, but if you are reading this, you probably graduated from a public school in the usa so you really don't care.

    Dialogue sucks, story sucks, gameplay like spelunker from NES only MORE BOARING... I found the game had way less effort put into it than the preview for it did.. Its a cheap game and good thing cause I would value it at a dollar or less...

    A calming, likeable adventure with an engaging premise, but Waking Mars’s roots could go a little deeper.

    A true exemplar of intelligent game design, Waking Mars is a compelling and imaginative masterpiece. An absolute must-play. [Feb 2013, p.74]

    It worked much better as an iOS game than it does on PC. [CD-Action 02/2013, p.69]
