A cosmic twist on the classic Hangman game
PlanetFall is a space-themed word guessing game inspired by Hangman.
Instead of losing lives, you lose planets. There are 9 planets in total, and with each wrong guess, one planet gets eliminated. Your mission is to guess the hidden word before all planets are gone — leaving only the last planet standing.
- A random word is chosen (hidden from the player).
- Guess one letter at a time.
- If the letter is correct, it appears in the word.
- If the letter is wrong, a planet is eliminated.
- The game ends when:
- ✅ You guess the full word before all planets are gone (you win 🎉).
- ❌ All planets are eliminated (you lose 💀).
- The 9 planets are:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto - Each wrong guess removes one planet from the list.
- Fun fact: Even though Pluto is considered a dwarf planet, it makes a comeback here 🌌.
- Planet elimination system instead of the classic “hangman drawing.”
- Clean and simple interface.
- Fun and educational — learn planet facts as you play.
- Can be extended with word categories (space, science, pop culture, etc.).
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript & React
- Add sound effects for correct/wrong guesses.
- Planet animations (shrinking, fading, exploding, etc.).
- Difficulty levels (Easy = more guesses, Hard = fewer planets).
- Multiplayer mode.
