What is Petit Planet about?
You live on your own small planet as a Planet Tender: build and decorate a home, reshape the land, coastline and sky, and invite fuzzy animal Neighbors to move in. Daily life includes farming, fishing, catching bugs, beachcombing and cooking. You can sail out across the Starsea to gather materials and explore, and meet other players at the Galactic Bazaar, a shared hub for trading and hanging out. One of the Neighbors shown on the official site is Yunguo, a shy Cultivator who looks after her "sproutsies."

- Pre-register on the official Petit Planet website.
