In Sol you are trying to populate a solar system with life. You can place Earth-like planets in orbit around a star. Each planet pulls on the others so you must deftly balance the gravity wells of every object in the system.

Finding it hard to find anything to suggest as an improvement here. Really cool game. Been playing for a good 15 minutes so far. I guess one suggestion I have is stacked goals, like "10000 souls spread over 3 planets", because it's easy to get it on one planet. If anything I want to complain that this game is taking time I could be using to play more entries because I don't want to stop playing it.
I love this. Maybe just a bigger map and perhaps a sort of accretion disc/ring phase might be interesting as things are created and destroyed, so that it isn't instant. One of my fav games!
I liked playing this, thanks for making a OS X version! Just when I had a good, stable system with several planets going (finally!) the end came very abruptly ;)
I feel like such an asshole god when I create a planet which is annually set on fire, causing hundreds of people to perish in flames. :(
Very nice game and a really interesting idea. I love the music, really sets the mood. It is really addicting, and the gameplay based on finger/movement precision is really enjoyable.
Ok, this was probably the single most unreasonably cruel game I've ever played in my life. In a good way. Great entry, would definitely benefit from a full-screen mode. Also, bigger numbers. Billions are generally more fun to burn then hundreds and thousands.
One of my favorites so far. I loved the concept, graphics, and sound! I was able to get a planet to be stable, and reach 30k population; but a rather large asteroid eventually hit it haha. Great job!
Great game! You had a ruff childhood or how else it would explain the cruelty of this game. Joking aside, you executed the game very well, nice balance and wonderful gameplay. Cheers, mate! :D
All those people who can survive 4000ºF are tough!
Seriously fun game. It's beautiful, it's the right balance of difficulty, it has great dialogue (what little there is from the sun), the planet animations are kind of funny, the music is excellent. I think you'll be getting 5 stars on everything but the theme!
Just a suggestion that I think would make things more fun: Make planet collisions not destroy the planets, just make it a bigger planet with the combined momentum, and kill all the people.
Grunedar. It ruled for millenia. 60k+ people... until one day... Keith Moon, which seemingly game out of no where, destabilized Grunedar and sent it on a journey to the stars....
I really like this concept! I wonder if you'd make it a full arcade style game or even a puzzle game where you have to play with how you put things in orbit to win.

[SPOILER?] With a lot of luck I managed to get 1M people but I couldn't bring the planet into the sun, I tried a lot. [/SPOILER]
