Planet Automata

Planet Automata is a pixel-art arcade shooter about a brave hamster facing an army of robots on a remote planet. You fight through six stages and take on their bosses in challenging bullet hell gameplay.

Combat and scoring

Chain enemy kills before the combo bar empties to build combo points; longer combos earn higher scores. Taking a hit breaks the combo and loses its points, while using a bomb resets the combo without losing the points. Enemies release energy when defeated, which fills a multiplier bar. Filling it raises your score multiplier and levels up your weapon, making your shots more powerful. Taking a hit or using a bomb lowers the multiplier, and taking a hit also reduces your weapon level.

Stages and modes

The game has six stages, each with a boss. Completing the game unlocks Boss Rush mode, where you fight all the bosses one after another.

Music and display

An in-game music player lets you unlock and listen to the soundtrack’s 88 tracks. You can adjust the side panels’ opacity, make them fully black or remove them for a wider view; the playing area stays the same. Tate mode rotates the screen 90 degrees into a 9:16 aspect ratio.
