Hi everyone The day has come! We're finally sharing a new, improved Planetiles demo v2.0 to public. We paid close attention to feedback shared online and also during expos like PAX West or Gamescom and came up with a completely new progression system, new missions and some serious UI and design improvements.

Planetiles Demo v2.0 changelog

• Introduced Player Level with the max cap set at 6 in the current demo
• Introduced the progression system with roguelike unlockables and a variety of perk-like systems - Points earned with each mission now add up to players XP and increase their level - With each new level, players get one of the following: new technology slot (increasing the number of active technologies), access to new technology that affects gameplay, or a new slot for favorite structure (such structure will occur 2x more likely with the upgrades draw)
