Loved the visuals on this game. Everything was polished and well put together. The music was a nice light-hearted touch as well :) The mechanic is pretty cool and unique, I did find it a little bit hard to control at times - though you are a planet I guess! Maybe some sort of indication of your current direction/velocity might have helped this?
Very cool, and very playable! The music is great, too. But those black holes are really nasty. :-(

Very nice! Simple yet creative. Could spend hours on this =)

A bit short, but nice graphics. I love how at the start the dot from the 'i' is actually the player. Music is a bit weird, and doesn't really fit with the game :P
First of all, great presentation! I loved the title screen being a seamless part of the level. Nice font, nice colours, and fun music (Perhaps a "Click Remover" would have fixed those bits where you hit the mic while singing =P
Definitely enjoyed moving from planet to planet more than trying to get the green life since the controls were a little weak by my taste.
Overall, a nicely executed/polished idea with decent playability =)
I really like the minimalist design, but a bit too hard for me..

Your humming music is so neat! And I thought the game was fairly addictive. It was definitely a bit rough for me to get the hang of how to be effective at it, but the mechanics were easy to understand.
Lovely game with a nice polished look. It was pretty difficult to play but a good experience nonetheless. I like that you made it very easy to reset to the point you started from. I didn't play beyond the first set of planets though because I couldn't get enough life particles to make it through and it would probably take me hours to get through it.
Pretty unique creation, and I liked your interpretation of the theme!
But you win the award for worlds most annoying music. It was actually WORSE That you put that music in there than it would have been if you had just not. Which is a really bad insult because I've been telling everyone their games need music... That being said, I wished there was an ending, but the idea was innovative and fun.
Thank you for this.

Cool gravity mechanic. Frustrating when you accidentally go backwards to the previous planet. :) I was getting "don't worry jump in the void" kind of message but didn't see anything beyond.
An innovative gameplay and cool sfx. The subtle game movements were good and light graphics suited the overall game mood. Just found the control lil tight. nice job!
Cool concept and really polished, but I think the controls could use a bit more tweaking to make it easier to fling yourself the direction you intend to.
It was an interesting concept, but it took me a while to figure out the controls, and still they felt a bit finicky to me. I know it's the way that the game is meant to be played... The music was different... (that's good)
I like the style! Was a little disappointed to get all the way to the end and then find out I needed more of the little ball things. Overall, neat little game!
The controls were a bit hard to understand at first but once you get them they actually feel quite natural. The title and description within the level is a nice touch. I liked the clean art and really loved the music :)
I loved the music. It was so different and totally appropriate and key to the game mood. It's stuck in my head and, for me, the most memorable part of the game.
The graphics were very clean and appropriate. Nothing was distracting. Everything was on point. The camera work was a very good bit of polish and queue to the player.
Fun game! The music is charming, hilarious, and really gives the game a lot of personality. The core mechanic works great and is fun, but collecting particle life is a little too challenging imo. Overall and awesome game =]
Whoa, so many comments. I feel I've got nothing to add, besides maybe my own words of praise. Sometimes simple mechanics make a very interesting game and that's the case. I actually like the music, and definitely appreciate the effort. :)
First off, awesome! I love the font you've used! The whole graphical style is really nice! Gameplay idea is good too, and pulled off quite well, except it has a few bugs :p
1. You can still control your dot after you've left the orbit. So, if you slow down enough, you can just float wherever you want to go by holding that direction for long enough! 2. The music... it was funny I guess :p Wasn't too bad, but it something a bit more mysterious / sciency sounding could've made the mood a lot better! 3. At the end.. if you keep pressing enter... you keep adding the gravity field! http://i.imgur.com/r8jL6.png I was the most beautiful of all the worlds!
Seriously though, it was pretty awesome! Good job!
Simplistic visuals were really nice and the "music" was hilarious, the gameplay is a bit tough, it's hard to control the ball and the particles you are supposed to collect are so tiny that it's a real chore to try to collect them all. Besides that, this was pretty funny game.
this stands above every other game I've played today, except maybe Panopticon. Brilliant game-long tutorial that kept things fresh and a soundtrack that I now want to follow me everywhere. Only problem is that it's too easy to complete the game once you find out that you can control yourself in free space, albeit slowly
One of my favorite games, but needs more balancing, I found it too hard! I like the mechanic, from the screenshots and description I was expecting something like Orbital but it's surprisingly different! Kudos!
Awesome - one of my favorites. Simple but polished. Nice beatbox acapella soundtrack. And interesting gameplay mechanic - took me a lot of tries to get the particles (hard to exit orbit at the right time) but eventually got all but one (I think).
Liked the graphics, but for some reason found the music a bit irritating at times :/ Good work though in putting it together!
It was a wee bit too short, and slightly too slow-paced to my taste, but I liked the clear graphical style a lot! This could turn into something nice if you decide to put more work to it :)
The controls were a bit weird - using horizontal/vertical directions for a planet that is more angle/velocity makes it hard to get motion right. Other than that, a fantastic game.
Should I complain because your gravity is actually not intuitive because real gravity doesn't work like that? Naah. Not reasonable. But I think it made the game harder for some people than it really is. Just FYI.
This is a lot of fun! The graphics are simple but well polished, and the audio is funny :) I like how the title screen is integrated with the rest of the game. The physics take a while to get used to, it's very easy to fly into space by mistake. Also at the end of the game, you can keep pressing Enter and more and more atmospheres surround the tiny world :P

Takes a little while to grasp the controls.

The presentation is really great.
Nice mood !
I'm loving the polish graphics and the concept btw :)
And the game is fun, too. Nothing to complain about this one for me :)

It made me laugh. I like that.
Over all, a very good entry.

The design, the concept, the gameplay, the music, the fx, ... everything!
The controll could be a bit more precise.
Good job, dude!
Still though, it's quite good.
