About Planetka

You play as a tiny sentient planet. Maintain your ecosystem, create new plant species and discover the hidden powers inside you. You’ll need them soon, because there is a human spaceship approaching with the intention to mine all your resources and they don’t care if it kills you in the process.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this tower defense game's creative mechanics blending plant growth, volcano eruptions, and cloud merging into an engaging strategic experience, with several calling it a solid free offering that's fun and charming. However, the game struggles with clarity and explanation, leaving new players confused about their options, and some find the difficulty curve discouraging enough to abandon it before experiencing what makes it special. The game appeals to those seeking quirky strategy challenges but needs better tutorials to help players push through the initial learning phase.

[h1] Protect planet from alien invaders (possibly humans). Not much explanation is given but overall it plays like tower defense. Core fill up with magma which can be used to fuel tiles with plants. As they grow they work like towers activating some abilities which helps in battle. Erupt volcanos to produce smoke. 3 clouds can be merged together to release thunder which destroy enemy's structures. Might wanna check it out if tower defense is your type of bread. [/h1]

Lacking in explanation. By the time you work out what your options are there's insufficient incentive to continue rolling the dice.

If you enjoy very stressful RTS games involving you getting dominated by a bunch of small gray guys, this game's for you. Never seen a better free game.

Simple, but cute. A fun little puzzle.
