Meteorite
Meteorite is one of the tabs in Galaxy Idle Clicker. It starts the Planet Defense Event Minigame and allows you to spend Meteorites on various upgrades and Minigame improvements. Also, you can unlock and upgrade the Special Meteorite that will spawn on the Main Game screen once in a while.
Planet Defense Minigame[edit | edit source]
Planet Defense Event is a minigame that has a cooldown of 15 minutes (can be reduced to 4 minutes via upgrades) and lasts 30 seconds (can be prolonged to 90 seconds via upgrades). Your objective is to destroy incoming meteorites by left clicking them or having Automated Turrets shoot them, and save incoming satellites by right clicking them.
Spawned meteorites and satellites will fly towards the impact points on the planet. If there are turrets present they will shoot a missile towards an incoming target - be it a meteorite or a friendly satellite. Higher rarity meteorites fly faster and are thus harder to shoot down.
You earn Meteorites by successfully destroying them in the minigame and you can spend them for various upgrades.
A Combo point is awarded whenever you successfully destroy a meteorite or save a satellite. Combo Points will reset if a satellite is destroyed (it can be shot down by an automated turret), a meteorite hits the planet or when you reach an 80 Combo Points Streak. Every misclick results in -1 Combo Point.
After the Combo Points reach certain milestones a special meteorite will spawn:
- 15 Combo Points - Golden Meteorite
- 40 Combo Points - Diamond Meteorite
- 80 Combo Points - Amethyst Meteorite
The Combo Shield can prevent losing the Combo Points streak if you misclick, a meteorite or satellite hits the planet or a satellite is shot down.
In order to reach 80 Combo Points during one minigame you will need to upgrade the Meteorite Spawn Rate, the Meteorite Minigame Game Time and most likely have all the turrets unlocked with some turret fire rate upgrades.
Normal Meteorite
Gold Meteorite
Diamond Meteorite
Amethyst Meteorite
Antimatter Meteorite
When you've just unlocked the Planet Defense Minigame you can get to 40 Combo points on most plays and earn at least 1 Diamond Meteorite per run.
You can improve the meteorite spawning chance for the Gold and Diamond Meteorites as well as the overall spawn rate by acquiring certain meteorite upgrades, which will result in an overall higher score per game.

Here you can spend your Meteorites for various upgrades. As you purchase upgrades, they will get more and more expensive.

Main Game Upgrades[edit | edit source]
The Tab 3 Meteorite Upgrades add additional multipliers to various game mechanics. These upgrades do not have a level cap and their cost grows exponentially.
Tab 4 contains more unique upgrades that can have a bigger impact than the normal upgrades, but in turn do have a level cap and their price rises greatly between levels.
