In Orbital Panic you take control of an alien life form and it's planet, which can be brought to exert gravity and anti-gravity by the simple flip of a switch. Use the tools you have to achieve growth and eliminate all lesser life forms.
Complete your objectives by running your planet into smaller rocks until you can absorb entire planets.
Edit: Planets have Red or Blue Borders, Red means back off and Blue means go for it (for those asking).

Pretty fun! I see a little Osmos or Agar.io inspiration. I just wish it had some sound effects. I see that you just barely hit the deadline though and audio is typically the last item on the list.
I like the concept behind the game, it's a clever idea that fits both themes really well. However, I think the execution fell short a bit, here, it is really difficult to make something like this easy to control, and it is quite hard in this game. The physics kind of felt a bit off, which kills the game a bit for me. Would love to see this with more dev time.
Nice game, I liked the planetary idea and the music was great. I would have liked a clearer indicator of when I was bigger than something else, and some parallax or some other kind of way to tell I was moving when there wasn't anything else on screen. Overall very nice!
I would have loved to have parallax too, but it doesn't make much sense from the perspective to have far away stars move a visible amount as the player travels some distance. Maybe with nearby planets/asteroids in the background, however that could confuse the player too.
I like the concept. Maybe, it's to difficult, I can't end the second level. I don't really understand how the gravity run. But it was fun to play it, and the graphics are great, well done.
@SayRafon Good thing I did everything but programing the core game mechanics. We planned to do the player orbiting planets, orbiting other planets and still have easy controls, but after 2 days where we still didn't have that done, we settled for the easier version of non-physics orbiting. The rest of the team was completely exhausted and wanted to discard the game, because it didn't turn out the way we wanted. I could hear them moan a lot over TS.
Nice game! The concept is very interesting, but quite hard to get your head around. I quit on the "survive for 60 s" level with the rapitly moving suns, because each time a huge fast suns did eat me :( 60s may be a bit long. All in all great work!

Confused control, but it's very intresing litle game.
Good job!
