Get ready for a space adventure that is both absolutely adorable and intellectually stimulating! In Interplanetary: A Giant Hop for Squeakind, you aren't a cold military commander, but rather the head of the space exploration program for the united nations of planet Tree. Your mission? Send tiny, fluffy creatures known as 'Squeaks' to explore moons, comets, and the vast void of the solar system. And forget the hassle of dealing with an 'automata' trying to mimic an opponent; here, the experience is 100% player-driven.

The mechanics are a dream for optimization enthusiasts. The game operates through a campaign deck that presents 'directives'—specific goals you must achieve. To perform actions, you consult an extensive list and pay the cost by moving a marker along a numbered track. The core challenge lies in the action economy: every move costs something, and if you take too long to fulfill a directive, the deck progresses, potentially leading to failure. It is a game of pure time management and efficiency. You must plan every single move to ensure that, by the end of the campaign, your score surpasses your previous attempts. It's a cycle of learning and constant improvement, where failure is just a stepping stone to progress. With point-to-point movement and variable setups, the sense of discovery is genuine. If you enjoy solo strategy games that demand peak brainpower to manage resources and optimize action sequences, this 'giant hop' is exactly what you need!
