Little Planet

About Little Planet

Little Planet is a VR life-simulator from VRWOOD that blends cozy crafting with light role-playing. Set on a whimsical, ever-changing world, it lets you build homes, trade items, and interact with quirky characters like a shark-obsessed mariner. Released in 2025 for Meta Quest 3, it’s a single-player or multiplayer escape where you plant crops, decorate spaces, and hunt bugs alongside the developer’s team. The game leans into casual creativity, letting you shape landscapes or just relax under a sunset with friends. Early Access means some rough edges, but the charm of a living planet and the promise of future updates make it a cozy VR pick.

Gameplay

You spend most sessions in VR gathering resources with hand motions, like planting seeds or filling water tanks. Crafting uses simple gestures, combine materials into tools or decor, then trade them in Jeff’s shop or use them to build structures. The world feels alive: wander beaches to catch fish, chat with Bella about her garden, or help Chance tame a giant shark in his tank. Multiplayer lets friends join to build together or explore. Sessions often mix structured tasks (like completing a crafting order) and idle moments (like arranging flowers). Controls prioritize motion tracking, which can feel awkward at first but grows intuitive. Early Access bugs pop up, but the focus remains on creating a personal, low-pressure space.

What Players Think

Meta Quest 3 users rate it 94%, with 72% completing at least 40% of the game in 12.3 average playtime. Community moods are 45% Happy, 30% Curious, and 15% Frustrated, mostly due to Early Access hiccups. Over 270 achievements exist, and 62% of owners have unlocked at least 100. Reviews highlight the "cozy VR escape" but note "needs more polish." Players on Discord actively report bugs and share build ideas. While some gripe about repetitive crafting, most praise the social features: 83% of multiplayer sessions last over an hour. The developer regularly updates based on feedback, adding new items and fixing issues.

PlayPile's Take

Priced at $39.99, Little Planet is best for VR owners who enjoy casual simulators with social play. It’s not a deep RPG but offers enough creativity and charm to justify the cost, especially if you’re patient with Early Access flaws. The 270 achievements and 12-hour average playtime suggest replayability for collectors and builders. Skip if you want fast-paced action or polished mechanics. For those craving a laid-back VR world to shape with friends, it’s worth the $40 price tag and the occasional glitch.

Storyline

Dear Player, This is Yoki from Little Planet. The day is finally upon us - our very first player (that's you!) is about to arrive on the planet. We have been preparing for this day with great anticipation, and I trust all my fellows are ready for their respective roles - we know this is not a drill! On Little Planet, you'll get hands-on with gathering and crafting. Sow seeds, plant dreams in fertile soil, shaping the land, decorating your home - each action is a piece of your unique puzzle. Over by the beach, our seasoned mariner, Chance, is ready with fishing rods, water tanks... and...a great white shark?! Well, he insists his tank is large enough for that. Jeff, our shop owner, and his little pal Benny, are thrilled to announce the arrival of their irresistible paw-some products. And in our quaint little garden, Bella the cool girl is all set with her watering can, sapling, flowers, and..."bugs"! She insists it's important for you to know - we are currently in our Early Access version, and you might encounter a few bugs along the way! Bella's hint got me wondering: You'd be up for helping us 'bug hunt,' wouldn't you? Of course, we're aiming for a bug-free Little Planet! We're hoping you, our awesome player, will relish this part of the journey with us. We eagerly await your arrival on our planet.This is where your new life begins.
