About this app
The sequel to the real-time strategy classic Alien Tribe 2, which reached the Top 10 in over 25 countries. Explore a distant galaxy. Colonize new worlds. Research ancient technologies. Connect entire solar systems into one unique energy network. It all began with a single night of heavy partying: After escaping Maloc territory, the Fifo threw the biggest party in their history – and forgot to invite their ark ship's autopilot. Big mistake. The autopilot, a long-outdated onboard AI with centuries of loyal service, had finally had enough: Before sunrise, it beamed the entire tribe down to an unknown planet in a distant galaxy. The Fifo woke up with no ship, no way home – and a legendary hangover their descendants would later call the "Time of the Heavy Head."

App details
What you can learn from Alien Tribe 3: RTS
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 6 screenshots above are Alien Tribe 3: RTS's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Alien Tribe 3: RTS runs a dark set with one background colour (#040404) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #2CA4E4, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
