Planet Destruction

Planet Destruction is a sandbox for taking planets apart with lasers, rockets, space mines, ships and monsters. It suits anyone who wants a game that starts with a single tap and has no rules to learn first.

What the knobs do

Planet Destruction is built around one repeated action: choose a weapon, aim it at the planet in front of you and fire. There is no vehicle to steer and no character to move. Everything happens by clicking on a computer or tapping on a phone or tablet, which is why the game feels the same on all three kinds of device.

The arsenal Poki describes includes lasers, rockets, space mines, ships and monsters. They are different tools for the same job, so the interesting part is comparing what each one does to a planet. A weapon that cuts a clean line behaves very differently from one that explodes on contact, and the sandbox lets you try them one after another on the next planet.

Progress comes from destruction itself. According to Poki, the more planets you destroy, the stronger the weapons you unlock. That gives the sandbox a gentle order: early planets are for learning what the starting tools do, and later ones are where the stronger weapons come into play. Poki does not publish a list of the weapons or a count of the planets, so this page does not guess at either.

Patching hints

  • Try each weapon on its own before mixing them. Laser, rocket and space mine are different kinds of tool, and you only learn what each does by using it alone.
  • Aim at different parts of the same planet. Since the whole game is where you fire, the point of impact is the one choice you control.
  • Treat the first planets as practice. Destroying planets unlocks stronger weapons, so there is nothing to protect early on.
  • On a phone, tap deliberately rather than rapidly; a placed shot is easier to judge than a burst.
  • When a new weapon unlocks, use it on a planet you already know how the older ones affected, so the difference is easy to see.

Best matched with

People who like sandbox games with a simple input and visible cause and effect. It works for a short look or a longer unhurried session, and the one-tap control makes it comfortable on a phone.

Honest trade-offs

Poki shows ads around games, so expect breaks around the game window.

The only input is click or tap, so players who want steering, platforming or aiming skill will find little to master.

The theme is the destruction of planets. It is cartoonish sandbox play, but it may not be what everyone wants to open.

Poki does not describe an ending or fixed goal beyond unlocking stronger weapons.
