PLANET ALPHA

You awaken injured and alone on a strange alien planet. As you travel across its varied landscapes, robotic enemies and other dangers threaten your survival.

Move through side-scrolling environments by running, jumping, and solving puzzles. You must avoid hostile forces rather than fight them, with some sections focused on escaping or staying out of sight.

As you progress, you gain the ability to change the planet’s time of day. The day-night cycle affects the environment and helps you navigate obstacles and uncover paths, while the story is conveyed mainly through the world around you.

Player reviews often praise the colorful alien environments and atmospheric presentation, and some enjoy exploring the world, its environmental storytelling, and the day-night puzzle mechanic. Others find the gameplay repetitive or shallow, and describe some puzzles, platforming, or enemy encounters as confusing or frustrating. Opinions on the story and overall experience vary.
