Project Earth: Starmageddon is a third-person sci-fi strategy action shooter game featuring an unique control scheme for the strategy genre. While the traditional point-click-drag-drop control scheme is also available and used for utilizing few interface options, the game's default control mode is modeled after first-person shooters, with movement of the mouse rotating the camera rather than simply moving the cursor, movement keys used to pan the camera and the mouse wheel being used to set the distance of the targeting reticule from the camera.
It was first released on Windows on April 25, 2002. It was released simply as Starmageddon in its native country, Poland, and as Project Stars in other parts of Europe, like Germany.
