''The Planetoid'' became a popular game, and eventually developed into a series of three. The third game still in development, although not by Metalsoul.

Later, after the game stopped development, Gheiter made his own remake of Planetoid 3 with massively different mechanics, such as having to transfer resources to other planets due to each planet having a resource limit.

Metalsoul was working on Planetoid 3D, which was of course a [[VideoGame3DLeap fully 3D game]] and the first [=3D=] game in the series, which was released as a paid product.

''[[http://www.yoyogames.com/games/40337-the-planetoid The Planetoid]]'' is a freeware RealTimeStrategy game developed by Metalsoul and hosted by [=YoYo=] Games.

The game features the Hominids, a race of creatures who move to a new planet after their home is destroyed by the Planetoid, a large green asteroid that destroys everything in its path. Meanwhile, the Aliens have decided that only they can be in that particular system, so they become the game's villains. The player's task is to help the Hominids to survive while colonizing planets and avoiding extraterrestrial threats.

!!The ''Planetoid'' series provides examples of:
* AscendedExtra: The Zorguls, who didn't do much in the first game, became playable in ''Planetoid 2''.
* DemonicSpiders: The ice comet monster. It comes in a randomly spawned ice comet that can come at any time, and can kill off several of your buildings and Hominids before dying.
* DifficultyLevels: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Harder difficulties make the AI colonize faster. Hard starts you off in a blue giant system.
* GameBreakingBug: What many people call "The Freeze", the third game had a bug that would cause asteroid collisions to freeze the game. This was later fixed.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: The Planetoid causes this if it collides with planets.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The player could choose from a variety of playable characters in ''Planetoid 2''. This grew into a huge mass of playable characters in ''Planetoid 3''.
* NotPlayingFairWithResources: Elmzran admitted that the AI controlled opponent has unlimited resources.
* OneHitKill: The Planetoid itself is this, to ''everything'' except stars.
* ShoutOut: Some of the races, including [[StarWars Darthcube]] and {{Pac-Man}}.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: In each of the three games, you can fling your people into space.
* WideOpenSandbox: Although many people believe the goal to be destroying the other species, what you want to do is up to you.
