A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Cruise Planet is a lighthearted shoot-em-up and roguelike mix. After a failed heist, you are in possession of the last spacetruck, a recalled vehicle with enhanced durability and dual-wielding cannons. Hop from planet to planet on the run from the expanding police dragnet, and fight cosmic megafauna along the way.

The Systems Demo is the game's first demo, and includes:

  • Planets with a mix of noise generation and hand-made structures
  • Four funky weapons to mix and match
  • Terrain you can destroy for points
  • Detailed, frame-by-frame enemy animations
  • A world map that can offer shortcuts

Cruise Planet is still in an early state, and anyone can help make it the best game it can be by offering feedback. After giving it a try, why not say hello on Discord?

finally gave this an actual go, got 15150 points! the game really does look nice, but i did have a problem:

it ran really quite badly. i experienced a lot of hangups and sometimes would go for entire seconds without the screen updating. it did get less bad over time so i think i managed to play somewhat fine but it's not... great. and i'm pretty sure this isn't an engine issue- i've had plenty godot projects run just fine on this same machine.


the game is really good though! the art is nice as i said, and i like the destructable terrain mechanic, and i feel that is has a lot of potential! shame you dropped it, but it's yuour decision and i'm still excited for whatever else you decide to make. well done!
