Miniplanets is Sik's Mega Drive homebrew. You jump and run on tiny 3D planets that turn under your feet, on a quest to save Qisha's children and restore the Planelago. This ROM is the REMIX version, hosted under the zlib license.
Walkthrough
Miniplanets is a free Mega Drive platformer. The ROM loads when you open the page. Every stage is a small planet you run all the way around.
Start
Choose START. PASSWORD takes you to a later stage if you have a code.
Read the stage card
Each stage opens with its name, such as PLANELAGO 1 · LAFTO.
Run around the planet
The planet turns as you run. Jump with A, B or C and clear the planet before the timer at the top runs out.

FAQ
Is Miniplanets free to play here?

Can I continue later?
The title screen has a PASSWORD option for returning to later stages. Emulator save-states work too.
Are there cheat codes?
No published cheat pack. Save-states are in the emulator menu.
Can I play it on a phone?
