You’re orbiting an uncharted planet in a malfunctioning ship, with a quirky AI and a whole lot of potatoes. Sounds like everything’s going according to Spaceplan! In this oddball idle game, tap to build potato probes, satellites and other tech as you investigate the strange world below. Can you uncover its many mysteries?

What we love: The ridiculous yet engrossing story. As you build bigger and better potato-powered devices, you’ll learn more and more about the solar system you’ve stumbled onto. Where are you? When are you? The hilarious writing keeps you guessing at every turn.

Quick tip: Focus on building incubator upgrades – they’ll bank power while you’re away from the game. Why work for your potatoes when you can make your potatoes work for you?

Meet the creator: Spaceplan was originally going to feature just one potato-based item, but after developer Jake Hollands came up with puns such as “probetato” and “spudnik”, he couldn’t resist going all-in on tater tech.
