Overview
Petit Planet's universe is divided into multiple galaxies with distinct cultural identities. Each galaxy has its own Neighbor residents and environmental aesthetics. The game's design philosophy states that "no two planets should be the same, even if they share similar characteristics." Players can visit each other's planets across galaxies, and shared spaces like the Galactic Bazaar bring the community together.
Starting choice
At the beginning of the game, players choose between two starting galaxies:
Galaxy | Region name | Climate |
|---|---|---|
Hexia | Verdant Plains | Warm and humid |
Taffeh | Golden Prairie | Hot and dry |
This choice determines the initial environment and appearance of the player's planet. The role of Norvanya as a starting choice or a separately explorable region remains unclear.
Known galaxies
Galaxy | Known Neighbors | Description |
|---|---|---|
Hexia | Home to the cultivator, beetle trainer, and hat maker. Hexia appears to draw from East and Central Asian cultural influences. | |
Taffeh | The less-revealed galaxy. Msafiri is the only confirmed Neighbor from Taffeh. Described as a hot, dry environment. | |
Norvanya | Home to the plushie designer and nine-tailed fox mystic scholar. Norvanya features whimsical, pastel-toned environments including Medowlyn's pink beach planet. |
Loomi Corp
Loomi Corp is the galactic organization that employs the player and several Neighbors, including Mobai (the team leader), Esassani, and Glenn. These three are the initial Loomi Corp employees. Loomi Corp operates across all galaxies and manages the infrastructure that connects them, including the Starsea travel network and the Galactic Bazaar.
Visiting friends
Players can visit any friend's planet at any time, regardless of which galaxy either player is in. The game supports 5 or more players on a single planet simultaneously (the exact upper limit has not been confirmed). Visitors can explore the host's planet, interact with their Neighbors, and see their Planet Customization work firsthand.

Planet linking
Players can link their planets together, creating networks of connected worlds. Linked planets appear in each other's sky and can be traveled to directly. This system encourages friend groups to build adjacent, complementary planets that form small communities.
Cross-platform play
Petit Planet supports full cross-platform multiplayer across PC, iOS, and Android. Players on any device can visit each other's planets, trade in the Galactic Bazaar, and join Starsea Voyages together. Save data syncs across platforms, so players can switch devices without losing progress.
Multiplayer activities
Beyond planet visits, multiplayer features include cooperative Starsea Voyages, group activities in the Galactic Bazaar, and seasonal events that bring large groups of players together. The game emphasizes cooperation and socializing over competition.
