Description
A space-themed action/strategy/rpg hybrid. Take command of the last living humans as you are thrust into intergalactic affairs you know nothing about.
Will your ragtag band of survivors be able to save the galaxy?
Strategy Guide: http://www.sapientgames.com/games/farplane/strategyGuide.php
Soundtrack: http://thefarplaneinvaders.bandcamp.com/
How to Play
Mouse controlled. Detailed instructions in game.
YOU CAN MUTE/TOGGLE THE TUTORIAL IN THE MAIN MENU ON THE GALAXY SCREEN.
Developer Updates
Added obvious in-game links to the strategy guide and the soundtrack.
Fixed the bug where the game would reset if you โgave upโ after being destroyed and then canceled that decision.
Made easy mode much easier.
Fixed some glitches in the side-scrolling portion.
Made it obvious that the really difficult side-scrolling state is optional.
Increased speed when traveling between planets.
You can now undo a battle you initiate and go back to just before it started, in case you start something you canโt finish and need to upgrade a little more before trying again.

Played through the whole game. Not a bad game, but I have some wants. When mousing over systems where there are resources, can we get a pop-up of the total resources in the system. Also, when in the system view it would be helpful to have a 'pop-up' of the resources of a planet on mouse-over.
Finally, it gets VERY easy to beat the Farplaners when you increase th damage and fire rate of your weapons.
Four stars!

Nice update! I'm glad the platformer was optional all along, except for one easy quest-relevant level.

Liked the resource mang sys and parts of the battle system. The whole away mission thing smacks of mario though and is "difficult" to master to say the least. Would like to see a more in depth playout with humanity's new role in the galaxy.. maybe create fleets and actually be able to defeat the invaders.

when upgrading ship's speed it need to go faster in the planet view too not just in hyperspace. Also it would be nice if you can see planets stat's by pointing at it and also see how much money is accumulated in a planet system before you fly to them (a sum of all money in the planet system, not on just individual planet). All this in version 2 maybe, but still great game! 5/5
