About Planet of Lana

Planet of Lana is Wishfully's hand-painted puzzle platformer — a girl and her companion Mui crossing an alien planet to rescue her sister from a machine army — ported by Playdigious to iOS on December 9, 2025 and Android in 2026. It is a paid game, $4.99 on the App Store and $5.99 on Google Play, no ads, no purchases, about six hours long. The port's record is mixed: a save bug on iPhones tied to full iCloud storage, and touch controls that Android reviewers call slow.

Planet of Lana Review: A Painted Six Hours for $4.99, If the Save Works

Lana, Mui and a Planet Where Balance Broke

The shape is Limbo's — a side-scrolling world crossed left to right, puzzles built from what is in the frame — with colour and a companion. Lana sets out after machines take her sister, and Mui, the small black creature that follows her, is the mechanic: send it through gaps she cannot fit, have it distract or hold a creature, call it back. A June 24, 2026 App Store three-star calls it Limbo with much more colour plus an element of Ico; an August 17 five-star calls it the most fun since Playdead's Inside; a September 1 Play reviewer with seven votes describes a platformer with realistic logic puzzles, timing that is never too crazy, a strong intro, hidden shrines as a side quest and about six hours of story. The 2023 original was painted by hand and the port keeps it, 3.1 GB on iPhone. Rated 9+ and Everyone 10+, in 12 languages.

The Save Bug on iPhone and the Slow Thumb on Android

The App Store's 400 ratings split on one bug. From December 17, 2025 through June 2026, one- and two-star reviews report the game not saving — an hour replayed four times, a $9 purchase regretted; a March 16 five-star found the cause on its device, a full iCloud, and an August 23 review repeats Playdigious's advice to check iCloud Drive; an April 12 buyer who took the chance had no trouble. Version 1.0.5 on July 27 fixed missing visuals on the Low setting. Google Play, where the port arrived later and holds 4.3 from 3,790 reviews, has a different complaint: two September 13 reviews find the control response so slow that running and jumping in timed sections is nearly impossible, actions failing to register, and a checkpoint that reloads into Mui dying repeatedly — one uninstalled. The September 1 five-star had no such trouble but notes a glitching soundtrack and ending.

$4.99 on iOS, $5.99 on Android, Nothing Else to Buy

The economy is a price tag. The App Store lists Planet of Lana at $4.99 — a January reviewer paid $9, so the price has come down — with no in-app purchases, no advertising and no tracking; Google Play sells it at $5.99 with no ads, and its data-safety card lists Personal info, App activity and two other types collected. A December 9 launch-day review says it plainly: a full-price, buy-to-own game with rich content, not a free one that traps you in purchases. What the price does not buy is a hint system — the July one-star and a September Play review both went to YouTube — or a controller note on either store. The floors are iOS 15.6 with an A12 Bionic or later, meaning iPhone XS and newer, and Android 10 or newer; the Android build reached version 1.8.2 on September 7. Prices are regional.

No hints — stuck players went to walkthroughs

Verdict

A 7.2: a beautiful, gentle puzzle game sold the honest way, carried to phones with two port problems — saves that failed for months on some iPhones and touch response that some Android players cannot live with. Take it if you loved Limbo or Inside and want colour and a companion for $5. Skip it if you play on an older Android phone, or if you would rather wait for a patch than test whether your iCloud is full.

Gameplay8Companion puzzles and chases with fair timing; some rooms send players to YouTube.

Controls5Fine for some, unplayable for others — Android reviewers report actions that do not register.

Replay value4One six-hour journey and a shrine hunt; nothing to return to but the paintings.

Graphics & sound9Wishfully's painted planet intact on a phone at 3.1 GB, with a score reviewers single out.

Monetisation9A paid game with nothing else for sale — the model reviewers thank it for.

Frequently asked questions

Can you play Planet of Lana offline?

Yes — it is a paid single-player game with no ads, no online features and no account, so once the 3.1 GB install is on the device it runs without a connection. One caveat from the reviews: on iPhone, saves use iCloud, and players with a full iCloud reported lost progress, so keep space free there.

Is Planet of Lana free?

No. It is $4.99 on the App Store and $5.99 on Google Play, paid once, with no in-app purchases and no ads — the App Store price has come down from about $9 at launch, per a January 2026 review. There is no free trial. Prices vary by region.

What phone do you need for Planet of Lana?

On iOS, 15.6 or newer and an A12 Bionic or later — iPhone XS and up — with 3.1 GB free; on Android, version 10 or newer. The July 2026 update fixed missing visuals on the Low quality setting. Neither store mentions controller support, and the timed sections are where Android reviewers found touch too slow.

Can you play Planet of Lana with friends?

No. It is a single-player story about a girl and her companion; there is no co-op, multiplayer or sharing feature on either store. Mui, the creature that follows Lana, is controlled by you with simple commands — the closest thing to a second player is the cat.

How long is Planet of Lana?

About six hours of story, per a September 2026 Play reviewer, plus a side quest of hidden shrines; a January App Store reviewer finished it in one sitting. Checkpoints are automatic, which is where the iPhone save bug and the Android checkpoint loop both bit — plan sessions around chapters.
