Planet Blupi, developed by Daniel Roux and Denis Dumoulin (succeeded by Mathieu Schroeter in 2017), is an isometric Real-Time Strategy Puzzle Game for Windows released in 1997 by EPSITEC.The plot is as follows: A spaceship has crashed into the titular planet, causing a brief fire and alerting the Blupis. A blue robot comes out of it and begins building his own factory complex and tries to wipe out the entire Blupi population to claim the entire planet.The gameplay involves you, the player, giving commands to Blupis to perform various tasks, from simply walking to building things. A Blupi has his own Life Meter, signified by the blue ring around his feet and the usual blue (red if low) gauge on the HUD, both if he's selected. The Life Meter depletes whenever he performs a task, and if it gets low (red), the Blupi will turn into a Tired Blupi, who moves really slowly and is unable to perform most tasks until being fed with tomatoes. If it gets too low, the poor Tired Blupi will immediately stop moving after walking a single tile regardless of the distance you want him to travel, and he'll keep doing this until he runs out of energy and dies.Despite the simple gameplay, the game consists of 30 missions in the main campaign, which gets increasingly harder (except for the last one) and requires more thinking and puzzle-solving, as well as strategy-building and quick reflexes when it comes to anticipating incoming enemies.The game's full version comes with a Level Editor in the form of the "Construction" mode, which allows you to create up to 20 custom missions.A sequel in the form of Platform Game Speedy Eggbert was released a year later.This game is now open-source, being rereleased for free to celebrate its 20th anniversary. It's also compatible with Linux and macOS now. The Twitter account BlupiGames (Facebook page goes here) posts updates not only regarding this game, but also other Blupi-related news and information (including few mentions of this very page). The game's updates can also be tracked in this GitHub page. | |

Item Caddy: While the Blupis can build many stuff to support themselves in survival and combat, these creatures actually rely entirely on using items to fight. An unarmed Blupi is a dead Blupi in battlefield. | |

Not Playing Fair With Resources | |
| Planet Blupi (Video Game) / int_240a3d9b | comment |
Not Playing Fair With Resources: In missions featuring Master Robot, it is shown that he's capable of building factories without needing to use any form of resources. Thankfully, it's balanced a bit by having him stop by his own building as a form of cooldown. Also, he moves really slowly, allowing you to take your time in building your strategy. | |

No Body Left Behind: Characters killed by explosives immediately disappear from their spots. Blupis killed by fire/sparks or flattened by Bulldozers will briefly leave their charred/flat corpse before disappearing. Spiders killed by poison will lie on their backs, twitching, for some time before disappearing. The protection towers' electricity will zap and fully disintegrate organic enemies that walk/fly into it. Enemies trapped on sticky traps will stay visible on the map, but they can still be cleared by an explosion. | |

Hit-and-Run Tactics | |
| Planet Blupi (Video Game) / int_4f23179 | comment |
Hit-and-Run Tactics: A preferable way of attacking enemies, since you only rely on items to do the job. Basically, you drop the item (optional: you can activate them if they can be activated) then run to safety. Not applied to dynamites if you choose to activate them, though, as it kills the Blupi activating one on the spot. | |

Hell Is That Noise | |
| Planet Blupi (Video Game) / int_61a503a7 | comment |
Hell Is That Noise: An incoming Bulldozer's noise (or worse, noises caused by an Electrocutor about to attack) pretty much signifies you to RUN, especially if you're completely defenseless. The same can be said for the Bouncing Bomb, which spends most of its time standing still. When you suddenly hear that "boink" sound, flee! (note that it won't stop even if no Blupis are nearby, as it also targets the Blupis' items/tools/vehicles!) The noise that a dead Blupi makes before disappearing from view (not the ones that are caused voluntarily). You know you're screwed if you happen to hear them, especially if you've lost track of your other Blupis or your own defense. Worse if the mission requires you to avoid having less than the required Blupis. In that case, say hello to the depressed Blupi! | |

Armor of Invincibility | |
| Planet Blupi (Video Game) / int_a6e375d4 | comment |
Armor of Invincibility: A Blupi wearing armor does not lose energy and is completely invulnerable to viruses, bulldozers, explosions, Electrocutor's sparks and even fire (which makes no sense) and can even transport and use dynamite without killing themselves. This comes at the drawback of being unable to use a boat, use buildings, jump across gaps, or anything except pickup and drop items or detonate explosives. | |

The same can be said for the Bouncing Bomb, which spends most of its time standing still. When you suddenly hear that "boink" sound, flee! (note that it won't stop even if no Blupis are nearby, as it also targets the Blupis' items/tools/vehicles!) | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Planet Blupi (Video Game) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Certain enemies are attracted to your traps and are more likely to step on them. Viruses, being Airborne Mook, pretty much ignore the ground-bound traps, but are still willing to float around when explosives are going off or go through the electric barrier created by the protection towers. The Blupis can be this too, if some missions' descriptions are an indication. For example, one mission's background has a Blupi observing Master Robot so much that he ended up stuck in the latter's base. Obviously, it's up to you to avert his horrible fate. | |

F8 will make everything go eight times faster. (note that the latter two speeds can only be accessed if you've typed "QUICK" to enable them) | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Planet Blupi (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: If you're stuck in a mission, the Help button (marked with a question mark) becomes available, allowing you view those hints. It still has a possibility of not being too clear of when and where your task should take place, but at least you won't scream Guide Dang It! too much. If you have a Blupi who is doing a repetitive chain of tasks, you can set him to repeat those actions by picking the "Repeat" option from the drop-down menu (don't right-click on this case). This makes managing Blupis' specific tasks less tedious. However, not all missions support this though. | |

11th-Hour Superpower | |
| Planet Blupi (Video Game) / int_e5066b68 | comment |
11th-Hour Superpower: Downplayed. Near the endgame, the Blupis managed to gain access to enemy technology in the form of platin(i)um, which is used to build a robot on their own. The robot, aptly-named Helper Robot, can perform tasks without running out of energy (moving faster than Blupis also helps) and is invulnerable to fire, Viruses, Bulldozers and Electrocutor's sparks. However, there's only one in existence (in the main campaign, at least) and can still be easily destroyed by explosives and Bouncing Bombs. Also, it can't do things that Blupis can, like riding boats across a body of water. | |

The noise that a dead Blupi makes before disappearing from view (not the ones that are caused voluntarily). You know you're screwed if you happen to hear them, especially if you've lost track of your other Blupis or your own defense. Worse if the mission requires you to avoid having less than the required Blupis. In that case, say hello to the depressed Blupi! | |

Item Crafting | |
| Planet Blupi (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a | comment |
Item Crafting: Done in either the workshop or the laboratory, depending on the ingredient you're going to use. Pieces of iron and platinium go into the former, while stuff like flowers and tomatoes go into the latter. Only one of each is required to make a single item, and each ingredient aside from iron (which can be made into one of three items) can result in a unique item exclusive to that ingredient. | |
