You are part of Interplanetary Planetary Demolish LTD.
Your job is to destroy unnecessary rocks.
Try not to harm inhabited planets.

Gravity will affect your method of destruction, making collateral damage difficult to avoid.
Shoot your missiles through the connected gravity from worlds to achieve your goal.

Actually an interesting way to twist the typical Angry Bird's - like concept. The gravity visualization is also really cool! Would love to see this as a mobile game.

The visualization of the gravity looks cool.

That is some original idea.

If and when I figure out how to compile your game on Mac Os I will play it

i love the gravity visualization!

I love this. The visualisation is awesome. Some funky mechanics like blackholes or orbits would make this even cooler! I'd love to see you extend this further. Do you have Twitter?

Just made a Web port with emscripten.
@Mali, I updated my profile for Twitter information (Jaenis7)

Neat! Feels a bit trial and error/random but still interesting :)

The grid representing the gravity in the back is really cool. Would have liked to see designed levels with this, as some randomly generated levels are impossible to clear 100%. Great work!

had a fun time, and I really liked that the gravity of planets changed whenever they got hit, it made each shot interesting

I love gravitational distortion!

I really liked this game! Aiming through all the messed up gravity was far from an easy task, but it was a fun challenge. Really nice take on the theme, good job!

This is pretty fun, I am now history's greatest monster, destroying all life with my supernukes. I feel like the gravity visualization could be cleaned up so that it doesn't wrinkle quite as much, and it needs to be more obvious that you can charge up the shots, it took me 5 minutes to realize I could.

Keep up the good work!

cool little puzzler and nice ambient music

@porglezpomp: haha, becoming the history's greatest monster was the very reason why I added all those counters :D
And indeed, there is some pesky bug in the visualization that makes wrinkles there, some day I'll hit it with supernuke!
And thanks to all for the comments! :)

Great idea and execution is nice. Sometimes it's hard to figure out how exactly missile will go but definitely a great, skill based game!
ConciseBit27 Aug 2014, 16:14
Really nice idea. Add a few more elements and the game can become very strategic. Imagine a multiplayer mode with bullets and defense fields!

btw it is unexpectedly funny looking those bullets running on ridiculous paths :)

Good job.

Pretty cool main mechanic that created a lot of weird situations (still fun though).

Super nice visualization of gravity.
I like the rocket's movements

I loved this one! A clever, simple mechanic well-executed. A+!

That was brilliant. Really simple original and addictive gameplay.
