Greetings! This is Burç from Happy Doze. PLANET RUNNERS is an upcoming Online Multiplayer Platformer Racing game with ultra mega simple controls and an unforgiving soundtrack. ULTRA MEGA SIMPLE CONTROLS Planet Runners has an innovative control scheme that grants you fluid movement abilities with minimum input (3 buttons). It’s easy to learn yet still easy to master! VARIOUS RUNNERS WITH ULTIMATE ABILITIES Each runner has a distinctive ultimate ability to make life harder for their rivals. Crush your opponents with Ghor or launch a Homing Missile with Rockat. UNFORGIVING SOUNDTRACK Enjoy tasty (non-generic?) pieces of music that will drive you during the races and even make the time spent on menus worthwile! --- TESTFLIGHT BETA Click here to signup for the beta! We recommend playing the game on an iDevice with at least an A7 chip (meaning iPhone 5S or iPad mini 2/air and up), but it's theoretically possible to play it on older devices (though not older than an iPad 3) with no promises on a steady framerate. We'll be regularly updating this post with more info. *mandatory sharing of websites so we look really professional* planetrunnersgame.com happydoze.com Aaaand some screenshots! P.S: Headphones recommended!
Thanks! Wait 'till you experience those "ultra mega simple controls" to get the real taste of it! Shoot me a PM if you want to participate in the upcoming open beta!
Check out the theme song for PLANET RUNNERS! You won't believe how you'll feel both sad and happy at the same time!
Hey everyone! Hey everyone! Burç from Happy Doze here. Finally we've sent the TestFlight invites to everyone! Sorry for the delay but we added lots of features and polished some stuff so we believe it was worth it! - The loot drops from chests are absurdly generous during the beta (so you can test as many runners as possible) and we appreciate any feedback you'll provide! - There are lots of features that are under construction or not implemented yet (like shop, social etc) because the main purpose of this beta is to tweak, polish and balance the gameplay. Bug reports are extremely useful for us but we'd also appreciate any comment on Runners, Ultimate Abilities, Levels etc. If you're not in the beta and want an invite, just shoot me a PM that includes your e-mail and I will send you a TestFlight invitation as soon as possible! Thanks and cheers in advance! LET'S RACE!
UPDATE! This update includes NEW CONTENT! - New skins for Rockat, EMPerror and Nekro! - 15 new player icons! - Better camera movement - Numerious fixes and performance improvements. - Low battery? But still want to play? Try turning on "Low Power Mode" in Options to set the framelimit to 30fps. Power consumption will be about 40% lower! P.S: We don't recommend to play the game on iOS's own "Low Battery Mode" because it underclocks your device and you may have stutters in-game. If you're crazy about playing PR even if you have low battery, please try turning on the "Low Power Mode" on Planet Runners' Options window first.
UPDATE! This update includes new skins for EMPerror and Meka9. We've also fixed a bunch of UI related stuff and some critical bugs that messed with the ulti button. See you at some planet! Burç from Happydoze.
Thanks! Yep, Speedrunners is a big inspiration for us in terms of solid physics and fast paced "elimination" type racing. Instead of random pickups, we decided to differentiate gameplay based on each runner's specific ultimate ability so everybody knows what to expect during the race. After a while, one can realize some runners counter some other or some are better at comebacks and some are better suited for the late game (in "showdown") etc. Believe it or not, even we were surprised when we found out how varied the gameplay can be with minor differences! Keep on racing! Burç from Happy Doze.
UPDATE! This update includes new skins for Rockat and Chen. And there are GOLDEN SKINS for each runner now! Also added lots of new Player Icons crafted pixel by pixel with love! See you at some planet! Burç from Happydoze.
UPDATE! This update includes 3 new levels, one per PLANET. See you at the space lobby! Burç from Happydoze.
UPDATE! Build 70 LABS NOW OPEN! LABS mode is the place to test some experimental/newly added maps. The main purpose of this mode is to test different ideas for maps and eventually polish prominent ones to be a part of the standard map rotation in the main RACE mode. We hope you like it and we’d love to hear your opinions/suggestions about the experimental maps you’ll play in LABS. Cheers! Burç from Happydoze.
UPDATE! Build 71 Added forward focus to in-game camera so it's a bit easier to predict what's coming on your way Minor fixes to animations
UPDATE! Build 74 New skins for Chen and Ghor! New player icons crafted pixel by pixel with love! Additional visual and sound effects!
