Planet Buster is a casual idle game set in space, where players take on the role of a cosmic destroyer aiming to obliterate various planets across the galaxy. The game features a progressive destruction system, with each planet composed of distinct layers that players must break through using a variety of missile weapons. As gameplay advances, players can unlock powerful upgrades such as Power, Spawnrate, Gravity, Accuracy on Tap, and Offline Earnings, which enhance destruction efficiency.

Victory in these fights rewards players with access to new galaxies and more powerful weapon types, offering unique visuals and gameplay dynamics. The overall experience is relaxed and suitable for casual gamers, focusing on strategic upgrades and continuous exploration.
In Planet Buster, the core gameplay revolves around automatic attacks and manual upgrades. Players tap or click the 'Press to bomb' button to initiate automatic missile launches, which impact the planet's surface and gradually reduce its size. A variety of unlockable missiles are available; players can activate them to deal extra damage and earn additional points. Coins are earned based on the damage dealt, and these can be invested to level up abilities including Power (increases damage per hit), Spawnrate (boosts missile firing frequency), Gravity (affects missile trajectory), Accuracy on Tap (improves attack precision), and Offline Earnings (provides rewards when the game is not active). Boss fights occur after clearing a few planets, requiring players to utilize their upgraded abilities and missile strategies to overcome these challenges. Success unlocks new galaxies and more powerful weapons, driving the game's progression.
The game controls are straightforward and intuitive, primarily involving clicks or taps on the screen. Players can click the 'Press to bomb' button to activate automatic attacks, where missiles are launched automatically at the planet. Additionally, players can tap on missile icons to activate specific types, enhancing their attack capabilities. For upgrading abilities, players click on the respective upgrade options, using coins earned in-game to improve attributes such as Power, Spawnrate, Gravity, Accuracy on Tap, and Offline Earnings. These controls are designed for ease of use on both mobile devices and web platforms, ensuring a smooth and accessible gaming experience.
