About The Dwarf Planet
The Dwarf Planet is an exploration game that sets you down on a remote fictional planet, far from anywhere, as a man named Mark. The planet is built from highly detailed environments and structures, and moving through them is how you uncover the events that took place there. Rather than a story told up front, the history of the place comes together from what you find as you go.
Along the way there are puzzles to solve and story fragments to piece together, so exploring and problem solving go hand in hand. The resolution can be adjusted, which helps if the detailed scenery runs slowly on your device, since the default settings assume an above-average computer. Movement on phones has been improved, including a fix for moving diagonally, and the game works in either screen orientation.

How to play The Dwarf Planet
Objective
Explore the planet as Mark, solve the puzzles you come across and piece together what happened in this remote place.
Getting started
- Pick whichever orientation suits you, since The Dwarf Planet works in both portrait and landscape.
- Check the resolution setting first and lower it if the detailed environments feel slow on your device.
- Start moving Mark through the first area and look closely at the structures around him.
- Solve the puzzles you find as you explore, since they are part of how the story comes together.
- Keep exploring new environments and connect what you find to work out what happened on the planet.
Tips
- The scenery is highly detailed and the defaults assume a strong computer, so drop the resolution if the game stutters on your hardware.
- The story comes from the places themselves, so search each structure thoroughly instead of rushing between areas.
- Movement on phones includes diagonal moves, so cut across open ground at an angle to cover the planet faster.
