About

Planet Busters is a new single-player game from Slam, combining puzzle-solving action with awesome firepower and spectacular explosions. The mysterious Scourge have destroyed Earth. Now it’s payback time. With most of the fleet killed in the attack, it’s up to you and your fellow ensigns to eradicate the Scourge and make the galaxy safe for humankind once more. Use the tactical grid to solve puzzles and match rockets by color to trigger attacks on enemy ships, moons or planets. Deploy EMP measures; use missiles for extra fire-power; and collect power-ups to assist you in your mission – to defeat the Scourge. At all costs.
