A simple compass at the top of the screen indicates the direction and distance to your current objective. To satisfy your employer, you need to explore each region and find the teleportation hubs that connect to the Javelin and, eventually, higher and more dangerous biomes. The planet is split into beautiful biomes that surround a mysterious tower at different elevations. Thankfully, the game offers more than comedic charm. 'This projection represents a significant step down from your previous projection of 51 years and puts you well above average in terms of debt elimination among the general population.'

'While this level of debt may seem substantial, with your recent promotion to Intergalactic Explorer - combined with its accompanying two-percent bump in annual salary - we can now project that you will likely be free and clear of debt in as little as 47 years,' the message reads. These include a note from the Monocorp First Galactic Bank of Commerce, which is somehow 'delighted' to share that your balance is now -$492,237. Alternatively, you can boot up the Javelin's computer - which has a primitive desktop interface, frequent screen flicker and a loading bar that glitches backward before moving forward again - to read some emails before tackling another mission. You can head back out and retrieve your loot, which sometimes includes the option to 'shamefully' bury your mangled corpse. The planet is crawling with carefree Pufferbirds.

'Engage in a fascinating examination of standard Earth activity, or declare a Black Friday and send your shoppers into violent bargain-hunting frenzy where only the strong survive!'Īll of Journey to the Savage Planet is like this. 'Watch them stroll, shop and live as they autonomously move throughout their very own shopping complex, completely unaware of your presence,' the voiceover exclaims. I scramble up the stairs and stare dumbfounded as the booming voiceover explains how anyone can make tiny humans by 'adding sub-zero radioactive water to a microlife power packet mix.' The clip, performed by real actors in brightly colored outfits, is shot like a toy commercial from the 1990s.

Immediately, some screens on the upper deck start playing an advert for something called Mini-Mall Monkeys. I step on to the glimmering blue teleporter and beam aboard my Javelin spaceship, a slew of aluminum, carbon and silicon particles in hand.
