About this game

Major new update!

SPACEPLAN is an experimental piece of interaction based partly on a total misunderstanding of Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. Use manual clicks and the passage of time to create and launch potato-based devices and probes from your nondescript satellite orbiting a mysterious planet. Unlock the mysteries of the galaxy or just kill some time in what the astrophysics community is calling the ‘best narrative sci-fi clicker game of all times’.

FEATURES

* Fifteen starchy items to unlock, create, and blast into the vacuum of space.

* Life affirming, silly story that will both captivate and help you kill time.

* Reveal the secrets of five different planets across two different realities.

* Banging soundtrack, as is customary in a narrative sci-fi clicker game.

Ratings and reviews

Cute game, but very short. Generally, I look to clicker/idle games for something that I can play in microbursts over long periods. Unfortunately, even mostly using the idle mechanics, the game's story only lasted about three days. That said, it was a cute and enjoyable little story. SPACEPLAN is well put together, stylish, and just plain neat; I just wish there was more of it.

It's a fun game, with beautiful music (including a thumpy bass!) and nice graphics. The humour was a great addition. The only problem is that it was too short and not much of a challenge -- I found it easy to finish in a few hours (letting it accumulate "power" offline to spend when I opened the app again). And if you play the game again, I don't think it changes, so it has no replayability. Nevertheless, I'll give it 5 stars because I only paid $1 for it, and it's definitely fun.

This is a masterpiece. I don't say that lightly. My favorite mobile game genre is idle clickers, and I hope to make one myself one day. Spaceplan is different. You don't waste your life on ads. There's no in-game purchases for boosts. It has a story, which is well written. Future idle clickers should see Spaceplan as an example to follow. And it should be up for an award.
