The Abandoned Planet is a sci-fi adventure game inspired by the classics of the genre. After being stranded on a mysterious planet, you must navigate through sprawling landscapes, interact with strange technology, and solve intricate puzzles to survive. Featuring beautiful retro pixel art and an atmospheric soundtrack, the game emphasizes exploration and narrative. Every screen is a piece of a larger puzzle, challenging you to piece together the history of this world and your place within it.

Our Expert Score

91/100

The Abandoned Planet is a love letter to the golden age of LucasArts and Sierra adventures. It captures that specific 90s sci-fi 'loneliness'—think Another World or The Dig. The pixel art is purposeful, using a limited palette to create a world that feels both alien and grounded. As an adventure game expert, I was pleased to find that the puzzles are logical; they require observation rather than the 'moon logic' that plagued many older titles.

The voice acting and soundscapes are top-tier for an indie project, really pulling you into the mystery of the desolate landscape. The narrative is doled out through environmental storytelling and a few key interactions, leaving enough to the imagination to keep you pondering the ending long after the credits roll. If you have any nostalgia for point-and-click classics, this is an absolute must-play.

Enjoying the game - can’t use raft!
Sat Dec 14 2024 Mungerette

I am really enjoying this game, and have been waiting forever after finishing Dexter for you to come out with something else. But I’m at the point I need to place the raft in the water, and I won’t let me anywhere on that screen. I’m not sure if it’s a glitch or I’m really not putting the raft in the right place, but I have clicked all in the water, all on the dock, and even everywhere on the land to no avail (yes while dragging the raft). Can you help? ETA: Thanks for your helpful responses! I had time to follow your suggestions last night and was able to catch up to where I was and now everything is working perfectly. Thank you so much for your attentiveness and helpfulness! I am very much enjoying the game, and your dedication to your players and direct connection to ensuring they have a good experience playing it makes me want to give you ten stars. Thank you so very much!

Enjoyable and Calming

Fun and inventive game with a charming heroine and a cool world to explore with lots of interesting elements to it. The puzzles feel fresh and enjoyable to figure out, mild difficulty but with some really fun aha moments when you figure out how disparate elements work together. I wrote clue notes in a notebook for the first time in a long time since this game doesn’t have an in-game camera, but I enjoyed that as a change of pace. I love a low-anxiety puzzle adventure with lots of places to explore, a storyline, a notebook to decode, and a brain teaser feel, and this game fit the bill. My only caveat is that the pixelated artwork was rough on the eyes after a while on the iPad screen, and that the ending was out of kilter with the rest of it.

Hate it!!!
Fri May 30 2025 DeeG1110

Let me start off by saying that I understand the time, effort, and skill it takes to put together and release a game. I get it. I hate criticizing because I def cannot do this. However, as a player, I can never understand why game creators create games that lack in logic and order. Be ready to click randomly on the screen because there’s no story that has a progression. I don’t know how this game has a 4+ star rating. Something is up. It’s a game for the mindless. Randomly click on the screen until something happens, and then, you go back to random clicking. I’d rather pay for a game than get these “free trials” waste of time. Who likes this? This game seems unfinished. There’s no direction, no coherent sequence. Oh, and the items you collect…. What are they? You don’t even know because they look like nothing recognizable in your inventory. Two stars for the effort but zero for creativity and strategic story writing. It’s sad when developers don’t see the game from the player’s perspective. And Unity has awesome games. Why they chose to associate w this one? 🙄

Phenomenal!✨

I wished I had played this on Steam instead, but regardless, this was amazing! The music, the art, the direction, the plot, the puzzles…. Incredible! And you did most of this by yourself? I was able to understand a lot of the world without having it explained to me, and I feel so bad for the Alien :( I totally called the twist at the end, but it was still crazy! Also, did you really make all the art in Aesprite? That’s awesome 😭 Absolutely love this game and can tell it came from a place of passion. Better storytelling and writing than in some recent triple A games 💀 Except some fan art from me soon! Hehe Thank you! 💙✨

Absolutely satisfying!
Fri Dec 13 2024 smd711me

The storyline and puzzles were perfect. I loved each act especially Act 3. The developer gets you thinking as you search for items to put together but they aren’t too hard. Some puzzle games are impossible to solve. These aren’t and makes it so fun! I do want the developer to know that half way through Act 3 I wasn’t able to click on the pause button to create extra saves. It was auto-saving for me so I didn’t mind. This might be a glitch. Whoever reads this, get this game!

Another great game from Jeremy Fryc

I would’ve bought this game even if I didn’t like it because Dexter Stardust is one of my all-time faves. But this one was well worth it on its own. Good graphics, fun storyline, interesting characters. I found the ending a wee bit confusing, although I won’t give spoilers here. Still, the gameplay is engaging, the puzzles challenging while still solvable, and it was a pretty good length for the price. I especially loved the cameos from the Dexter Stardust game. Definitely worth a download of the full game!

Brilliant

This was everything!! It lived up to my expectations and more, which is rare for a hyped-up puzzle game. The artwork and storyline fit the puzzles. You felt like you were learning about this alien planet alongside the main character. My only criticism (not really a critique) is I wish it was longer. That’s a smart move on the creators part because it leaves players wanting more, so when the next game drops they’ll be quick to pick it up. Thank you for a great game. If you make a sequel -please do- I’ll be first in line!

Cute with some flaws
Thu Jan 16 2025 Pandalucy

I generally enjoyed this game until I got to the fourth act and getting to the dorms was just very confusing and unclear. I ended up having to go to a walkthrough to get the answers but it still wasn’t intuitive and so I’m not sure if I’ll play through the end because of it. The story was compelling. The retro graphics are cute but it made navigating difficult - hard to see what you need to click on or if there are hidden items to pick up. The puzzles are at a middle difficulty which expands the possible players.
