It was called something like "escape from the planet of terror". It was framed kind of like a choose yr own adventure book but each page was a huge illustration with a Highlights for Children style puzzle on it (trace the path of the tentacles, find the missing wing segment etc). There may have been other books in this series. Anyone?

In The Planet of Terror, your spaceship has crashed on the Planet of Terror. Your task is to brave the planet's myriad dangers, from mutated animals coming out of pits of noxious liquids to finding a way out of a robot junkyard to find your ship, make repairs and go home. Like other books in this series, the different scenarios are kind of random, and the ones in this book seem even moreso because you're not exploring a fairly enclosed place like a castle or an island, but a whole planet. At one moment you could be on the Planet of Terror surrounded by mutant monsters, but the next open a door and suddenly be on a space station being attacked by a giant blob, or walk down a path and suddenly be turned into electricity and traveling through a bunch of microcircuit tunnels. And the one "correct" path feels random and arbitrary and there's no way to find it except by trial and error.
