You are not here to save the planet.
You are here to flip it.
Planet Flipper is a cold, turn-based planet management sim about maximizing profit before inevitable collapse.
From a dim room of monitors and blinking statistics, you approve programs, manipulate systems, and watch an entire civilization bend under the weight of your decisions.
Every turn, the planet changes, even if you do nothing.
Population grows. Resources deplete. Peace erodes. Volatility rises.
Famine creeps in before shortages appear. Conflict erupts when stability fractures. Technology advances through unrest. And through it all…
Your income increases.
Do you stabilize the system for long-term extraction?
Or let it rot, push it harder, and cash out before it implodes?
The market rewards instability.
FEATURES
Turn-Based Systemic Simulation
A tightly designed economic and social model driven by supply ratios, unrest, and probabilistic collapse.
No Map. No Units. No Distractions.
Everything is abstracted into cold numbers and shifting probabilities. The horror is in the trends.
Dynamic Famine & Conflict Systems
Shortages don’t just happen: they build. Instability feeds disaster. Disaster feeds opportunity.
Volatility as Fragility
The more unstable your planet becomes, the more unpredictable and dangerous it is - but also more profitable.
Program Funding Interface
Fund programs that bend the rules of the simulation. Expand agriculture. Manipulate infrastructure. Regulate - or deregulate.
Sell the Planet
Extract maximum value and liquidate before total collapse - if you time it right.
Planet Flipper is about systems drifting toward instability.
About growth that consumes itself.
About watching numbers rise while everything else falls.
You are not a ruler. You are an investor.
