Official Planetologist is a strategy sandbox game about terraforming worlds and sending settlers to save your species from self-induced extinction as your home planet’s ecosystem collapses. Can you find a way to create a truly resilient interplanetary civilization, or will colonization merely delay your inevitable self-destruction?

This was going to be a Compo game, but I didn’t finish it in time. It might still be incredibly unbalanced, but I know there *are* strategies that will work at least in the short term, you just might need multiple attempts to find them. There is no “official” win state, just infinite play against the harsh (but sometimes, hopefully, rewarding) realities of planetary ecology.

This game requires an up-to-date version of Chrome (61 or newer), Safari (15.4 or newer), Firefox (98 or newer), Edge (79 or newer), or Opera (48 or newer). 72h is not enough time to develop backwards compatibility!
