Art can be many things. A beautiful sunrise is a natural art, a painting made my a mad genius is art, the ♥♥♥♥ stain smeared on the wall of the public toilet is art, and this "game" is art too. The gameplay of the first half of the game is incredibly slow. Upgrades you get are marginal at best, and you don't get any "power spikes" after progressing to the next stage, it's just a slog with nothing but waiting in it. …

The only incremental I've played where the visuals, music and story were top tier. This is a gem in the genre not because of ground breaking gameplay, but because the whole package is an experience that will stick with you for years to come!

This is literally my favorite Idle game ever, please buy it & play it!!! Its very artistic, the soundtrack slaps, and the story is funny the entire time through! No matter how many times I beat SPACEPLAN I still get goosebumps at the ending. 10/10 idle game, please buy mk

If you like incremental/clicker games, just play this. No hesitation. Starts off simple… like “haha numbers go up” Then it slowly turns into something way bigger. I won’t spoil anything, but the ending genuinely messed with my head in the best way. Didn’t expect a game like this to hit like that. Super chill, weird, funny, and somehow deep at the same time. Just trust it and stick with it. Worth it.

7/10 Short but sweet idle game with an amazing soundtrack, I think its worth buying it if its on sale. It is not like other idlers where you put 100+ hours but you can finish it in just about 5-6 hours.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short Review SPACEPLAN is a short, charming, incremental game with a story that actually gives you a reason to care, incredible sound design, and a vibe that sets it apart from most games in the genre. The gameplay itself is pretty thin, and the later upgrades lose their punch fast, but the presentation is strong enough to carry the experience to its ending. Worth playing once. Recommended, with some reservations. Full Review SPACEPLAN describes itself as "based partly on a total…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolute piece of art, especially for an idle game. It has a nice story and is not too long to complete. The ending is absolutely worth it if it gets boring at some point (although I doubt it will if you like idlers). For a price of under 1$ on sale, it's absolutely worth it, no questions asked.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SPACEPLAN is an inventive and quirky take on the idle clicker genre, developed by Jake Hollands and published by Devolver Digital. At first glance, it may seem like a simple game about launching potatoes into space, but it quickly reveals itself as a clever blend of humor, narrative depth, and incremental gameplay that distinguishes it from more conventional idle games. Its charm lies in the seamless way it combines storytelling with mechanics that keep players engaged over time, turning what…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The writing is so millennial and the progress in the beginning is super slow otherwise it's alright
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great game. It's essentially a narrative-based incremental, so you can have all the fun of incrementaling your day away without committing yourself to half a lifetime of grinding, haha. I'm gonna start by talking about the sound design, which is indicative of how good it is because it's usually an afterthought in my reviews. It's just top-tier. It's bold as hell -- the designer really went for it, and it pays off. The first few times you click a button on this game feels like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was silly and lovely and abstract, and I'm almost but not quite certain that the whole thing was all just to get us to listen to the phenomenal soundtrack behind it. Thank you, this was great.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this game years ago when it used to be on browser, just never got around to buying it on steam. Despite being a fairly simple game, it oddly has this really familiar feeling to it. Maybe its the music, maybe its because I played it as a kid on browser. Regardless, it was comforting to play and I thoroughly enjoyed finally playing through it's entirety. I am sincerely grateful for this game, even though it may sound strange. Thank you to everyone involved in it's creation, its become one…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can’t tell if I saved the universe or just overcooked my potatoes. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR As an incremental game enjoyer, Spaceplan sits into a strange niche where it doesn't reach the long-term depth or appeal of traditional incremental/idle games, but still offers an interesting experience, especially for newcomers to the genre who might be interested into a lighter, narrative game and a dip into the world of big number crunching. Gameplay I expected this segment to be more meaty but there isn't really much to dig into. Most mechanics are standard and the game's primary…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice lo-fi visuals non-game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have really loved playing this. It's a cosy incremental clicker, but you don't have to click if you don't want to as you quickly establish automated resource flows, clicking just can be used to provide an additional boost. It's got a great heart and sense of humour, the stylised minimalism of the art is a great and distinctive look that really suits the game, and the spacey theme of it was a big hit with me. Lastly, I have to give special mention to the soundtrack which is incredibly well…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had this on in the background all day. I started in the morning, let it run all day, chilled with the jams and finished it before bed. Super chill and great little experience. Very 2001: A Space Odyssey vibes. This is not an active game. Very light incremental, more about a story with light gameplay elements. It still hit though. This does a lot with very little and the perspectives are great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absolute fire soundtrack. Perfect idle game to run while working
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very confused at the good ratings. If you want an idle game, play cookie clicker or dozens of other alternatives. This one does not do it. It's not worth playing for $0, let alone paying actual money for. It's a few hours of linear gameplay. There are no decisions to make. You wait until you have currency, you buy an upgrade. Every so often you are treated to what amounts to a cutscene to advance the "story". Then it ends. No reset/prestige mechanic, no varied builds to optimize production,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: Forgot to mention Artemis had me looking through my game list for space games. updated score 11/10 No idea how I missed this gem. I have more hours in SpaceIdle and Melvor and Cookie clicker than I care to admit... and now this :D Great writing and the click visualization is dope. 10/10. Music bangs
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2001: An Incremental Odyssey
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A sick electronic soundtrack attached to an incremental game. Clicker gameplay is very basic, but presentation is great. Def worth it for the price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the ending
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →idle game updates (The) Gnorp Apologue is perfect and I've had to uninstall Spaceplan seems nice and is actually an idle game Nodebuster isn't really idle enough but I'll stick with it Sixty Four I refunded (sorry) as I just immediately knew I wouldn't like it thanks again @rj.dcellgames.com
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun short game. Not much on the incremental side but the soundtrack is nice
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(played like 3 weeks ago, after this we're caught up lol) Spaceplan is a cute little idle game that can be played in about 3 days. Its neat! I paid like $2 for it (and its banger soundtrack), and that was an INSANE bang-to-buck ratio. If you enjoy cookie clicker and also beating games, check it out
positive · AI labelView post →I last played SPACEPLAN four years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the experience (I even remember spending a while in toilet at work pretending to shit so I could experience the full ending). I just played it through again. Man, what a great game/experience. Hugely recommended.
positive · AI labelView post →This game is giving me vibes similar to the game SPACEPLAN and therefore I am likely to pick this up tomorrow store.steampowered.com/app/2659900/...
neutral · AI labelView post →Lovely game, it's short but SO good, thanks to Felps (Brazilian Youtuber) to show it, one of the first games of incremental i watched on Youtube.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A silly and relatively brief incremental. A bit of clicking, a bit of waiting... and an ending worth seeing at least once
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best idle games ever made! One of the few idle games with an ending and actual pacing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good! Worth the price and is a competent little incremental game that doesn't overstay it's welcome. The sound and graphic design are definitely its strong suit, and delivers a nice aesthetic package. The story (yep, it has a story and even a proper ending) is pretty good and starts out sane and then goes into really wacky and fun directions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BIG criticism: when the planets drop into the sun THEY DON'T INCREASE ITS MASS? cmon at least jupiter needs to make a dent in the progress bar man. neat game, funny haha gags, enjoyable
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One gem that I rediscovered last week is the incremental game SPACEPLAN. Did you know that there was a remaster a while back adding a whole second campaign? I did not, and it was a delight. Great UI and soundtrack, too. Save the universe with potatoes. store.steampowered.com/app/616110/S...
positive · AI labelView post →If you like a wack visual novel this game is for you, unfortunately I didnt enjoy it a bit.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SPACEPLAN is one of the very few mobile games that I’ve ever paid for, and it’s a great little incremental game for $3. Seems like most other mobile incrementals are F2P with ads and eventually slow down a ton in order to get you to spend a lot more than $3 to progress.
positive · AI labelView post →Boring and not fun
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very chill. I put this on when I want to read a book or write something. The slow progress in the early game means there's not much to do except click. The music is super soothing. The writing is silly. The little subtitles tend to have potato jokes. One could say the developer has.... an eye for dad jokes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best legal potato throwing simulator.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the soundtrack kicks ass. played the games multiple times. had the kids play it. Only if the Publisher could release the Developers other GOT game... only if...

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Long boring waste of time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game to play while bored at work/studying/in lecture. can be squished into a smaller window to allow for more space for notes/work
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has the most aesthetic and trippy ending to a game I've ever played. Beautiful piece of art. The cost scaling is scuffed, get an autoclicker.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game. Really simplistic but meaningfully created visuals, a funny little story, and great music. A good side screen game for anyone
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game, amazing ending, worth every cent and every second playing. Will play again Progression is well rounded, and the rewards for getting to your goals are great. Surprisingly the story is also really fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favorite incremental game, easy to follow, no insane numbers with e to the power of gizzilion, simple UI that doesnt overwhelm you with many counters and numbers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nicely done. I'm a big fan of idlers that have a narrative and an actual ending. This has fun mechanics and an entertaining journey. Would recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play it for the writing and the silly ideas. No need to ever click the clicker - invest wisely and let it rest for a while to accumulate energy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a funny, silly tycoon game. Autoclicker recommended
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if i had a nickel for every clicker game that had a banger soundtrack i'd have 2 nickels
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is probably the best "clicker" game on steam. It's not a long play, but it's a great play. A fantastic reminder of the possible infinite number of infinite realities. A true reality check. The inspiration from Stephen Hawking, and likely Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy, are heavily felt and appreciated.
