Take command of humanity’s deep-space expansion. Manage energy, fuel, and rare materials to push beyond the boundaries of the known universe in an atmospheric orbital simulation. THE HORIZON CALLS. Planetfall is a sci-fi resource management and exploration simulation that places you in command of the ORA-7 orbital station. Your mission is simple but unforgiving: survive, expand, and discover what lies beyond charted space. Guide humanity’s advance through distant star systems by managing critical resources, upgrading advanced ship systems, and launching long-duration expeditions into the unknown. FEATURES COMMAND THE MISSION Operate a high-fidelity, diegetic interface designed to feel like a real spacecraft control system. Every interaction is grounded in immersive visuals, subtle haptics, and atmospheric audio. EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN Chart courses through multiple star systems and survey a wide range of celestial bodies, each with distinct conditions and rewards: • Sol System – Revisit humanity’s origin, from Martian dust storms to Jupiter’s turbulent bands. • Auriga System – Navigate fragment belts and volatile worlds in constant flux. • Perseid Frontier – Brave ionized ice giants and unstable volcanic planets. • Lyra Nebula – Harvest resources from quasar-lit reefs and crystalline voids. MANAGE & UPGRADE Balance Energy, Fuel, and Rare Materials to keep your operation running. Upgrade propulsion systems, cargo capacity, scan arrays, and drone bays to travel farther and unlock deeper regions of space. UNCOVER HIDDEN SIGNALS Intercept encrypted transmissions and recover lost data logs to uncover the truth behind the Horizon Directive. REAL-TIME & OFFLINE PROGRESSION Space travel takes time. Expeditions continue while you’re offline, with drones harvesting planetary surfaces and systems generating resources in the background. Return to tangible progress every time you check in. Planetfall is built for fans of high-concept science fiction, thoughtful progression, and atmospheric simulation games.

About

Planetary Conquest

Features
Read full description

The solar system is up for grabs, Commander. Planetary Conquest is a real-time strategy game with a clean, low-poly look. Claim a homeworld, and every planet you hold grows its own fleet — tap a world you own, then tap another to send ships. Land more ships than the defender to take a world. Outproduce, outmaneuver, and conquer them all. • SOLO CAMPAIGN — authored levels, each with its own commander and a rising difficulty curve. Liberate the system world by world, all the way to the brutal final stand. • QUICK SKIRMISH — jump straight into a match against the AI on any world you like. • TWO GALAXIES — the familiar Sol system and the original Veil Expanse, twelve worlds each. • FAIR OR ASYMMETRIC — play perfectly balanced homeworlds, or let each world's real strengths shape your strategy. • BUILT FOR TOUCH — big tap targets, satisfying haptics, and a screen that stays awake while you play. One rule to learn, a galaxy to master.
