The negative reviews for this game I feel are unjustified and don't accurately portray the games positive concepts. If you don't like a so-called "walking simulator", then why are you purchasing a 2.5D platformer?

For me, PLANET ALPHA was an absolute joy to play! It's a colourful and visually appealing alien world with some intriguing art style. A beautiful alien world filled with mystery and danger. Relentlessly pursued by robotic enemies, you must harness the power of day and night as you struggle to survive PLANET ALPHA's invasion.

PLANET ALPHA is affected by the solar cycle, and as you progress you’ll discover a unique gift – manipulating the time of day and night allowing you to use the environment to your own advantage.

A great 2.5D platformer with very little difficult and only a few mechanics used throughout. Nonetheless, each puzzle still manages to feel rewarding. PLANET ALPHA has great design of alien scenery, retro-futuristic machines, easy puzzles and a unique timeline allowing open story interpretation. There is great flow between stealth and chase sequences leading to some epic escape moments!

My only gripe with PLANET ALPHA was the enemy field of vision, it can become rather annoying at times leading to multiple deaths. It seemed like they had x-ray vision majority of the game. However, the death system is quick and starts you back exactly where you died. After learning enemy paths they become very easy to navigate. I also had one game crash towards the last 15-20 mins of my entire play-through, maybe that's something the developers could iron out.

PLANET ALPHA in my opinion is a very reasonable price at the lower end of £8 at full price. Meanwhile, being an outstanding price when on sale. It's defiantly one of the better under £10 games that I have played.

I thoroughly enjoyed the art-style PLANET ALPHA offers and the fluidity in the games play-ability and puzzles. I would defiantly recommend if you want something quick and easy to run through.


PLANET ALPHA was a decent 7.5/10 for me! :D
