If you\u2019re looking for a portable indie puzzler to play this winter, look no further than Planet of Lana, which developer Wishfully Studios and publisher Playdigious are bringing to mobile. This side-scrolling adventure follows Lana and her companion, Mui, as they traverse a dangerous yet beautiful planet to save Lana\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n
Originally released in 2023, Planet of Lana takes inspiration from cinematic indie games like Limbo and Inside, focusing on stealth and puzzle-solving instead of combat, as Lana and Mui avoid alien robots who have invaded a once-peaceful planet. You use the pair\u2019s abilities to walk, swim, and sneak your way through stunning, hand-painted landscapes in a heartfelt story that\u2019s ultimately about protecting the balance between humans and nature.<\/p>\n
Playdigious\u2019 mobile port takes everything wonderful about the Switch game and brings it to a smaller screen, letting you take the journey anywhere. If you\u2019ve not played Planet of Lana yet, this is the perfect opportunity, as its sequel is set for release in 2026. Planet of Lana II picks up directly after the conclusion of the first game, and according to the game\u2019s director, it \u201cdoubles the size and scope of the original.\u201d<\/p>\n
