PlanetDrop: A Tiny Space Adventure

PlanetDrop: A Tiny Space Adventure is a single-player game in which you command a spaceship in orbit around a planet. Your main objective is to capture drop zones using shuttles and commandos, relying on stealth, agility and speed rather than firepower. It includes six missions and takes about 2–10 hours to complete, with moderate difficulty.

Spaceflight and combat

Ships move without gravity and have inertia, with full freedom of movement in 3D. Planets have atmospheres that can damage your ship. You use automatic weapons and countermeasures, and most ships have armor and shields. Ship subsystems can be repaired, and the battlefield can include friendly, neutral and enemy ships, as well as small random events. Patience, tactical thinking and careful observation are needed.

Missions and supplies

The story progresses through briefings before each mission. Briefing hints and in-game tooltips provide guidance and act as a tutorial. You manage a basic inventory and can replenish it under certain conditions, such as when approaching a space station or calling for support. Your ship consumes fuel and life-support items.

Setting

The game aims for near-real-world physics and limitations, with space portrayed as vast, empty and dangerous, and humans dependent on their craft for survival. Its technology is close to the near future, with a few exceptions.
