Devlog #9 - Game Feature: Sandbox Mode
While designing Planetiles, we had two different types of players in mind. The first type focuses on the thinky part, planning their moves wisely, always keeping an eye on the highscore. These players are experienced with puzzles, strive for the challenging gameplay, somewhat being 'power users' of the tile-based games that require focus and attention. Second type - the one we're addressing with Sandbox Mode - are players that just want to relax, have a pleasant experience and enjoy populating planets with tiles, upgrading structures etc. No pressure with highscore, finishing often challenging missions and maximizing your tile count with technologies.

Planetiles is a serene city builder with roguelike elements. Create natural habitats on remote planets as you satisfy quests and earn bonuses with strategically placed ecosystems.
Craft habitats on varying planets sizes with strategic tile placement that earns you bonuses and unlockables, such as tile skins and customization options. Shaping a forest consisting of a specified number of fields or constructing a distinct feature like an oasis will give you different benefits depending on your quests and game progression.
As the biomes you cultivate grow, so do your resources to build! Increase your reserve of tiles by completing missions that replenish your supplies so you can continue to expand across the worlds you shape through your choices.
The landscape reacts to your choices. Turn a few scraggly trees into a lush forest and create distinct biomes by placing tiles to satisfy quests and activate power ups. Three different planet sizes and no endgame mean you can move between planets and build and manipulate biomes to your heart’s desire.
Uncover special structures through your tile placement choices. These unique features allow for special actions, such as shuffling the next shapes or placing a unique object on the planet.
