So much fun swinging planets into the big spiky one in the middle with malice >:3

The big spiky one in the middle is a sun! :)

There's something innately satisfying about using a planet as a flail. I'm not sure how the scoring system is supposed to work because, due to the procedural generation, scores from different games aren't necessarily going to be comparable. The particle effects when you slam a huge planet into a sun are so cool though.

Agreed about the scoring. It's very, very loose at the moment and only a reflection of how you played. The plan was originally to have you be able to name a system to generate, or re-visit past systems. Plus other scoring mechanisms. We just ran out of time really.

Nice mechanic! Throwing planets into one another is oddly satisfying.

Fun game, nice entry. :) Just played through once but it shows that you've put in a lot of effort and it paid out nicely in the end.

The mechanic is addictive. Had a lot of fun throwing planets into the sun (best score: 30255).

Only criticism is that it's a bit too easy to get lost. Would like an indicator where the sun is, and maybe a visual effect showing that I'm successfully tethered (so I don't ram myself into a planet and get destroyed).

That said, awesome entry! :)
