Overview

Rogue Planet thrusts players into a desperate cosmic journey. Your civilization's home star has died, leaving you with a colossal, planet-sized ship in need of fuel. The core gameplay revolves around using momentum and gravitational forces to slingshot your vessel from star to star, siphoning their energy to keep your ship alive and boost your score. This arcade-style experience demands speed and precision, offering 360 degrees of freedom with a simple point-and-click control scheme. Be warned, however, as getting too close to a star will result in your ship's hull being consumed by its intense heat. The game also features orbiting planets with civilizations that act as dynamic obstacles, barraging you with projectiles as you navigate the treacherous celestial bodies.
