[h3]ABOUT[/h3]

📎 Over 150 items, with layered synergies
🪐 Several Planets types with unique mechanics
🎮 Support for local co-op with 1-4 players
📝 Standard, Creative, and Boss Rush modes
🌱 Seeded runs
🎉 LOADS of references!

[h3]LOCALIZATION[/h3]
Want to contribute to a crowdsourced localization effort? You can do so here!

As a small team, localizations often need to be a late-development consideration. This wonderful, beautiful community has taken it upon themselves to voluntarily contribute a complete Russian localization!! We are working to ensure that is fully implemented in time for our launch.

We will continue to add additional languages when time and resources allow. In the meantime, we wanted to create a centralized location where fans can contribute localizations for their preferred languages. Registration for Localizor is entirely free, and will allow you to submit suggestions, and vote on those provided by others in the community. The more languages we're able to crowdsource, the faster they can be added to Paper Planet! ❤️

[h2]PAPER PLANET x 2 LEFT THUMBS[/h2]

Hello everyone! This is Graeme, the guy behind 2 Left Thumbs. You may recognize that name, either from my YouTube channel, or from the flagship title under this publishing label: Dead Estate!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1484720/Dead_Estate/

My interest is in working with small teams, like Doodlegames, whose interests and preferences in video games overlap my own. And as anyone who follows me will know, I have a deep seeded love for all things Flash-related. That's the world I grew up in, and seeing that legacy embraced and modernized through Paper Planet is something I absolutely could not resist! Mix that with my more recent roguelike obsession, and Paper Planet might actually be the game that MOST embodies the 2 Left Thumbs publishing label!!

[h2]PAPER PLANET IS TARGETTING A Q3 2023 RELEASE![/h2]

There are some really exciting things coming down the pipe for Paper Planet! Keep an eye on this space as we ramp up towards release. We'll be revealing more about the game, teasing major additions, all while working towards Paper Planet reaching it's full potential!
Try out the free Demo now, and don't forget to add it to your WISHLIST!
