About Desktop Mars

The DesktopMars is for WINDOWS 10/11 Only.

Colonize Mars on your wallpaper. A relaxing and interactive game that takes place in the background. It's perfect if you want to change your boring wallpaper.

DesktopMars is my new project where I combined constructive game and live wallpaper, all in the style of Minecraft / Voxel.

Build, collect, upgrade and expand your new population on Mars before Elon Musk does!

Main features:


-No rush on time - Build your colony in your style and time.

-Real day and night system - If you play at night, your colony will be at night as well.

-Displayed as wallpaper - Build your colony on Mars on your desktop when doing other stuff.

-Automatic pause - When you play your games, DesktopMars will pause for this moment.

-Automatic start with Windows - Your colony on Mars will start working when you run your PC.

-Steam disconnect - Hide your activity (game restart needed).

-Optimised - Optimised to reduce PC usage to the minimum.

-Settings check - The wallpaper will recognize your system setting and change it if needed. If not, please read "Community HUB/Discussions" or text me for help.

-It is cheap - a cup of coffee for me. Thanks in advance. ;D

With any problems, please read "Community HUB / Discussions" or text me for help. I will answer ASAP and make an urgent update if needed. Or just text me and say Hello. ;D

Best Regards,
3DM Greg

4️⃣/🔟 - It works as expected and you are on mars. Other than that, there is no way to make a nice looking colony and you can't just link buildings without tunnels/pathways. Why does the dust on buildings completely cut production? It should just reduce production then slowly go back to normal after X minutes.

One thing Desktop mars and Brock Lesnar have in common is when they figured out there could only be 1 of them, to be the champion of their respective categorys they both said.... yAAaaY At least according to this one ytp about the 2013 royal rumble But just like Brock Lesnar there's not an animal or best in the desktop category that stands up to Desktop mars..... again haven't seen the royal rumble that Paul Heyman hates interviewing for apparently according to this ytp but it feels like it and desktop mars share a soul. I implore nay beg of thee to run this and "YTP Paul Heyman hates interviews" 24/7

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Starfield price history: the sub-$20 window, and who set it

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
