As humanity enters the final frontier, finding planets that are habitable becomes a gold mine. You were one of the many explorers sent out to colonize the galaxy, the only difference is you successfully found a habitable planet. Now you must survive until the first colony arrives.


Traverse the galaxy finding the perfect star system to settle down in. Mark planets with markers to be able to find them again no matter where you are in the galaxy. Tiny Pixel Planet's galaxy is so large, that each new save doesn't actually generate a new galaxy, but choses a random star system in the galaxy to put you in. Meaning that in theory you can find old planets that you discovered long ago in another save.

Explore your star system going from planet to planet gathering resources that you cannot find on any other planets. Navigate the planets by using their position in the night sky and using the arrow that points to the nearest body. Make a planet yours by naming it and marking it in the galaxy.


Once you find a planet you like, it's time to make it yours. Build with all the blocks and even use the background feature to make your builds as unique as possible. With a lot of planet types to chose from, you can always build something new. Maybe make a giant sandstone pyramid on a desert planet, or cozy cottage on a snowy planet, what you make is up to you.

I do have 3 2 bugs to report, as well as 3 suggestions.

Bug 1: There are two chest recipes. One costs 8 wood, the other 78 wood.

Bug 2: When you place a chest on the same block as a background block the background block is rendered invisible, which can be seen around the edges of the chest. This is especially apparent when putting a chest inside a house or other structure.

Bug 3: Sometimes I randomly lose the ability to open block menus (crafting, smelting, etc) and the only way to fix it is to save and exit to the menu and then re-enter the world. Nvm I'm stupid, I just needed to press B

Now for the 3 suggestions.

Suggestion 1: Add some kind of unbreakable filler block or texture to the underside of planets so that it's not an empty void when you dig deep enough.

Suggestion 2: The ability to close inventory and block menus by pressing [E], as pressing [E] to open your inventory only to have to click on the item bar to close it is a bit annoying

Suggestion 3: Either a settings menu to change key binds and such, or switching the slot keys from [J] and [K] to [R] and [F]

Hello and thanks for the feedback!

As for the bugs you have mentioned I have already fixed them in the new update I have been working on (I will be posting a devlog on the update later today).

As for your suggestions, I really like the ideas you gave. I imagine having something like minecraft’s bedrock under the worlds would work. As for key binds that is something I will try to implement in this upcoming update as I could imagine this would be a good feature.

I appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy playing the game!

of course, and thank you for your response!

Having a lot of fun with this! I hope it continues into the future
