About this game

Pioneers is a relaxing building strategy and puzzle game where you terraform barren planets into beautiful habitable ecosystems. Immerse yourself in a peaceful world as you bring life and colour to desolate planets. At the same time, Pioneers offers a challenge for those who are looking for one: To beat the highscore, carefully plan and strategically place your pieces to score the most points. 

In Pioneers you set out across the galaxy to make a new home for humankind. Here you will begin forming oceans and terraforming the land transforming the barren wastelands into a colourful planet to call home. With each piece you place you will be rewarded with points depending on how well you place it or what surrounds it at the time. 

      

                    

As you cleanse the toxic air of planets you will begin revealing more of the planet discovering new land and various quests hidden below , here you might come across ancient alien civilizations to bring back to glory or once beautiful natural wonders that need to be restored but watch as you may come across natural distasters as you contend with errupting volcanos or a planetary ice ages!
