Planet Buster

Planet Buster – Cosmic Puzzle Adventure

You’ll pilot a planet-destroying ship in a brutal boss battle in Planet Buster, a standout in the vast world of indie games where creativity is limitless. With a brutal twist—your ultimate goal isn’t just to survive, but to destroy the entire planet—Planet Buster, created by solo creator Veralos and released in 2022, embodies the spirit of classic arcade shooters like Gradius or R-Type.

Core Controls and Combat

With arrow keys or W, A, S, and D to move, a spacebar to fire your primary weapon, and a secondary button to unleash Planet Buster—a charged beam that corrodes the planet’s surface when defenses are weakened—the controls are simple enough for a genre that demands precision. Each planet has:

• Asteroids and satellites that need to be destroyed to reveal a surface known as orbital debris.
• Planetary Weapons: Homing bullets, lasers, and turrets fire in dense blocks, turning the screen into a deadly ballet.
• Bullet Hell Intensity: You must dodge waves of enemies that fill the low-resolution screen while draining your health bar.

The game’s signature roguelite style allows you to reset your run on death, which encourages mastery of the blocks. Power-ups, which provide temporary shields or burst fire, appear intermittently.
