More watts let you unlock potato-powered technology, from the humble "Spudnik" to the "Probetato". SpacePlan's resource is wattage, built up by the satellites and probes circling the solar system. You're gathering resources in order to unlock progressively more powerful tools, which in turn increase your resource gathering capabilities. The game is a clicker through and through, and that means tapping on the screen countless times. If you were to judge SpacePlan purely at a gameplay level, you might be disappointed. While the gameplay is what you'd expect from a clicker, the surrounded mould makes for a uniquely enjoyable and humorous galactic journey. The ever increasing amounts are only a means to an end, like surreal new items or secret game mechanics unlocking, or a story unfolding. And that's about it.īut if you play the more interesting entries in the genre, such as the popular A Dark Room, Cookie Clicker, or Candy Box, you may see that the appeal isn't the numbers going up, but the why and the how. At its core, it can seem like an ephemeral thrill - tap, tap, tapping away, making numbers go up higher and higher. If that sounds right up your alley, then Spaceplan is the game for you.The clicker is an odd beast of a genre. In short, this is an addictive clicker game with a silly sense of humor.

Also, there are no in-app purchases or adds. However, it seems that the new version has a lot of new content (including an extended story), and you can play it in eleven different languages. Yes, it seems weird to have to pay for a clicker that was a free browser game.

You can check out the video below.Īs the video plainly says, Spaceplan is out now on Steam, the App Store, and Google Play. The whole video is set to a sweeping electronic score in the vein of Vangelis. As the video progresses, we see what seems to be an entire colonization in progress, as gigantic white monolith-like structures land on the planet. Then, a small potato-shaped creature with one eye and an antenna falls to the ground. We first see a barren landscape of a red planet.

The game also got a launch trailer, and it’s just as cryptic and weird as the previous Spaceplan trailer.
