SPACEPLAN is an experimental piece of interaction based partly on a total misunderstanding of Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time.

You operate a nondescript satellite orbiting a mysterious planet, with an AI companion guiding a story about exploring space and uncovering what happened. The journey unfolds through a silly, science-fiction narrative.
Click to generate power, then use it to build potato-based machines and devices that produce energy over time. Spend that energy on new equipment and probes to send into space.
Progress unlocks new discoveries across planets and two realities. Alongside the incremental loop of clicking, waiting, and upgrading, some sections include shooting-style mini-games, leading toward a finite ending.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy SPACEPLAN’s atmospheric music and sound design, its humorous story, and the sense of reaching a real ending in a short idle game. Some also highlight its distinctive visuals and relaxed, background-friendly pace. Others find the clicking and upgrades too simple or repetitive, and the waiting slow.
