Space Planet Explorer is a roguelite of deep-space survey, built on real astronomy. Take command of a survey ship and chart 76 actual celestial bodies — from the cratered Moon to the radiation-blasted surface of WASP-12b — but fuel, hull integrity, and mission time are all scarce. Plot your route, weigh every risk, and bring the data home. Run out of resources and the mission is over.

This isn't a relaxing star-map. Every planet, moon, and exoplanet is a real body modeled from actual scientific data — and every jump between them is a gamble.

Orbit each world as a true 3D globe. Scan the surface to reveal real points of interest — Olympus Mons, the Grand Canyon, Titan's Kraken Mare, Jupiter's Great Red Spot — each with a detailed science briefing. Collect six sample types and spend them at Hesperus Station on upgrades that push your reach deeper into the galaxy.

Every temperature, atmosphere, gravity value, and fun fact is drawn from published research and NASA mission data. It's a roguelite you can actually learn from.
