The planets are a little hard to hit, but this game makes A LOT OF FUN xD

Very fun game

Nice one!

I really like all kinds of orbit games so you had an easy one on me.
Only downside is that planets are too hard to hit sometimes.

Very funny! Too bad there's no bonus for using one planet's gravity force for hitting the other one :p

Great fun, well done. Good length with a good number of levels and difficulties. My only criticism is the slightly weak theme connection.

Great Game ! The concept is really fun !

Extremely fun and difficult. The music and graphics are great!
McFood25 Aug 2014, 14:58
5 stars for fun obviously.
Agree the theme connection is a little tenuous but this game is great and look very polished.
Great work!

Nice gravity simulation :)
dunin25 Aug 2014, 15:02
I really like the idea!
but it's too hazardous (or too hard for me)... Maybe more and bigger planets or a line with the intended path of your ball (like the easy mode on the billiard simulators...)

Enjoyed it very much! Tried to make orbits using the asteroids but I think you've coded it so I can't right? ;D
Not so fond of the colours, but I'm not good with colours anyway. Like the font, music is okay. Some planets were a bit hard to hit, but nothing impossible.

Nice game, very creative concept and the implementation is good too. The clean art is nice too. But the moving curves are a bit difficult to predict.

Very cool mechanics
Budda25 Aug 2014, 23:30
Awesome game, love the concept and how it plays out. Well done!

Nice job on the gravity simulation. Pretty fun, too. It's sorta weird that if you just fling the asteroids really slowly, you'll usually hit something because of the gravity. That didn't stop me from enjoying it, though.
Super fun!
Super fun!

This is a good game! I liked it!
Resonious26 Aug 2014, 02:43
Pretty sweet, although I think it would be even more fun if the gravity had more of an effect on the balls you shoot.
Kerdelos26 Aug 2014, 13:38
I like the concept but I would have enjoyed it better if the red ball was more easily orbitable.

Hi there. Such fun flinging asteroids around... worryingly rather too much fun... Good job!
SteveSalmond27 Aug 2014, 10:49
Well I suck at bowling planets, it turns out, but it's helluva fun :D Nice work dude!
sekaru27 Aug 2014, 17:57
Nice and simple but still (enjoyably) difficult.
Oli28 Aug 2014, 12:09
A bit hard to aim but very cool ^^
tanjent29 Aug 2014, 19:10
Really good and very clean/simple with good core mechanics. I think that instead of the message about not dragging inside the circle you could project the mouse pointer to nearest point on the rim and shoot from there.

Quite a fun game. Well done. :)
Simple and fuuny to play. I like the music e dificult.
