M.A.R.S. is a fun platform game developed in a two-dimensional environment. We will have to move by jumping from one stage to another very carefully because a miscalculation will make us lose our progress. If we fall short or go too far, we will fall into the void, and then we will have to return to the last point where we have stored our journey.

Of course, the success or failure of each jump is entirely in our hands, considering that there is a kind of thruster that allows us to send the ship and decide in advance both the direction and the fall that will occur. The game has straightforward and intuitive gameplay, but you will have to spend a bit of time understanding how the mechanism works, not so much to understand it but to be precise enough in each launch.

This is because it is not too easy to control the flight of our astronaut. To give you an idea, if you press the key to the keyboard's left, the left thruster will turn on, while the same happens with the right side of the ship. If you press both arrows and thus activate both thrusters, you will get a much lighter fall, stopping almost where you are.

And what's the problem if I can cushion the fall whenever I want? Unfortunately, the astronaut is desperate because he has very little fuel, limiting his possibilities. Indeed, you will have to be very careful with all the calculations because otherwise, the only thing you will get is that the ship will run out of fuel before reaching the platform, falling into the void.

However, the game also tries to give us some exciting facilities so that everything is not so complicated. In this sense, we must say that while you advance through the territory of Mars, you can collect coins and other objects. Thanks to these, you'll be able to unlock new characters, and for every ten new characters, you'll also get access to new scenarios with entirely different settings.

From then on, the title gets a little crazy, considering that we can not only leave the territory of Mars itself to go to the jungle or the middle of the ocean, but it is also possible to replace our character. Thus, you can change the astronaut with whom the adventure begins for many other equally attractive options, such as a caveman or a diver.

Also note that although M.A.R.S. is initially available in English, within theOptionsin the title, you can quickly change it to other languages to understand each section and mission. At the same time, by modifying its language, you'll also be able to take advantage of the initial tutorials that will show you some essential tricks to make the most of this entertainment proposal.

Then there are some issues not too relevant to what the game itself is but that, in any case, could become entertaining for specific users, such as being able to take selfies in different parts of Mars while we go through it. Indeed, the astronaut, the game's main character, can take these classic selfies that will be stored in your personal history within the title.

We then move on to M.A.R.S.'s visual section or interface, where we find a result even above expectations. All this considers that this title has minimal technical requirements, of course. The game at all times is colorful, and space environments such as those that can be unlocked later are very well achieved, so it fills your enthusiasm in this regard.

If we had to indicate which aspects of M.A.R.S. have conquered us, the first of them would be how addictive the title is despite how simple it is in theory. Then, being able to find a lot of characters and scenarios to unlock is another incentive to dedicate time to it. And finally, of course, the ability to run it without problems, even on an old PC.

On the other hand, if someone were to ask us what aspects of M.A.R.S. we liked the least, probably after thinking about it for a while, we could say that although all the environments are modified relatively continuously, the objective of each scenario is the same. This may cause some players to get bored too quickly.

In conclusion, it is possible to point out that M.A.R.S. is one of the best proposals in free platform games related to outer space that we can find in these cases. Its minimum operating requirements, well-done graphics, and the possibility of unlocking an infinite amount of content as we progress are more than enough reasons to have adored this title.
