When planets and shooters collide: Planet Smash

It’s fun being a bad guy. Especially when your spaceship has the power to drag a planet around like the sad little ball of life that it is. If you’ve ever wanted to know h ow much fun it could be to wield that kind of power, then Planet Smash is the game for you.

Developed by Jamie Fuller, maker of SensitivePSP, the game feels like one part matching game and three parts 3D space shooter. To get to the shooter portion, you have to make the enemies want to come and get you. To do that, you have to destroy their homeworld by grabbing it with your spaceship, dragging it to the nearest matching planet, and forcing them to collide into each other.

Then the shooter begins. Every time you crash planets into one another, the last remnants of that civilization take their remaining spaceships to try and beat the stuffing out of you with laser fire. All you have to do is kill every last one of them to make the world a safer place (for just you) and advance to the next level, which has more enemies to shoot and planets to smash.

By the way, the game plays out like a 3D shooter because you can fly in any direction using the left and right arrow keys to rotate the ship’s orientation and the up and down keys for forward and back. While your main goal is to use the radar to track a planet down and smash it into another one, you could always just  fly around in the vast emptiness of space, asking yourself why you’re so cool.

Give it a try, and remember to thank Jamie Fuller for the game and Danceaway for the in-game music. Enjoy!
