Our take on The Planet of the Vicious Creatures

The level editor adds room for player-made content, but the core design remains focused on a single platforming objective: survive the alien fauna and reach a return portal. That narrow structure leaves less emphasis on varied mission formats or broader adventure systems.

What is The Planet of the Vicious Creatures?

Travel to Gliese 581 g in an old-school platforming adventure set in outer space.

The mission takes place on a planet with low gravity, where oxygen bubbles are present in the atmosphere and dangerous fauna must be avoided. The objective is to stay alive and locate a portal for the journey back. The game also includes tools for creating new levels, changing existing ones, and sharing those modifications with friends. Instructions for modifying the game are included in its files.
