Planet Pioneers is a relaxing building and puzzle game where you prepare new planets for settlers. Build tiles strategically, fulfill quests for your settlers, keep pollution low and enable new buildings along the way. Shape the planet as you wish until it’s time to move on to your next challenge.

Sit back, relax and prepare new planets for humanity in Planet Pioneers. Place tiles strategically, fulfill various settler requests and keep planet pollution low along the way. When the settlers are satisfied, you can hand the planet over and continue with the next one. Each planet has their own challenges to overcome, but all of them are peaceful without any time pressure applied.

Planet Pioneers is intended as a casual game which you can touch occassionally. All comes down to your building placement decisions. In the beginning, this is still quite easy. The difficulty increases over time by having ever-increasing planet sizes, more building types and higher demands from your settlers. At the end you get a highscore which you can try to beat in the next round.
