The WhatsNext verdict
If you like short incremental games with an absurd sci-fi story, strong music, and a definite ending, Spaceplan delivers a memorable compact experience. Players seeking deep idle mechanics, extensive replayability, or fully resolved lore should look elsewhere.
What it does best
A soundtrack and soundscape that make potatoes feel cosmic
A witty, strange sci-fi story gives the clicking a reason to continue
A remarkably effective narrative sci-fi clicker
What might put you off
The incremental progression becomes thin and tedious
The mystery may feel underexplained
The setup
What you are walking into
SPACEPLAN is an experimental piece of interaction based partly on a total misunderstanding of Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. Use manual clicks and the passage of time to create and launch potato-based devices and probes from your nondescript satellite orbiting a mysterious planet. Unlock the mysteries of the galaxy or just kill some time in what the astrophysics community is calling the ‘best narrative sci-fi clicker game of all times’.
