– Build your base with blocks, use a simple crafting system.
– Defend your base from the hostile environment.
Also features:
– Fight back by planting mines: the player has no traditional melee attacks.
– Regular checkpoints instead of permadeath.
– Simple, streamlined mechanics allow the player to focus on the action.
– Keyboard and mouse controls: use whichever you prefer.
– A tutorial stage to show you the ropes.
– The spirit of space exploration!
This is Planet in the Shadows – inspired by the dungeon crawler genre, this short game blends traditional spelunking with base building mechanics. The player is stranded on a hostile planet, urged to build a base and defend it against the awfully aggressive forces of the hostile environment.
