Description

Scan and drill in search of the most valuable resources. Will you gain the most credits with the highest valued gems or by fulfilling bonuses?

In the quick tile-based game Planetoid, players take on the role of a space miner and attempt to collect more resources or bonuses than their competition. Players may choose to either Drill: taking a tile and revealing all adjacent tiles, Scan: looking at two tiles, returning them and powering up a secondary drill for later use or Move: Return all resources you have collected to the cargo bay. While returning resources to the cargo bay if your resources match those of one of the eight random bonuses you may collect it as well. Play continues until all tiles have been revealed or all bonuses have been acquired. The player with the most points wins.

The game also includes an advanced mode that allow you to make more strategic choices. Use energy to take multiple cheap actions or devote more energy to take bigger actions. The largest of these actions will break systems. You cannot use broken systems until you fix them on a later turn. In addition this mode adds secret bonuses for each player.
