Space. The final frontier. These are... Hold on... Ah, crap, wrong series.
Welcome to this year's Intergalactic Bar Billiards, one of the more major hilarious concepts of the Hitchhiker’s Guide. Of course, this name is now already taken, and we have 2018, with the tendency to oversimplify things it's just called - drum roll :drum: - Space Billiards.
You will have to help your planet :camping: (and its 10 billion inhabitants) to survive a game of Space Billiards. Planets are billiard balls :8ball:, suns are billiard pockets :hole:, and of course there is the obvious space-time-distorting black hole :bomb: every now and then. Luckily, you have a large finite improbability drive :rocket: (not an infinite one, though!), thus you can move your planet around quite a bit. Also, when it's loaded, it can materialise an asteroid in the vicinity. But everything has side effects :grin:... like filling up space with alternative fact\H\H\H\Hrealities...
When your main computer isn't busy discussing the end of the world with Marvin, he will help you by plotting the probable trajection of the major bodies in the solar system. But he hasn't noticed, that it's billiard time with bouncy walls...
By pressing UP and DOWN keys you can accelerate (prograde) and decelerate (retrograde) your planet. By pressing the left mouse button you can release an asteroid, when the right gauge is full. You can fling it a bit by moving the mouse during release.
The left gauge shows the population's demise, by crashes with bodies in the solar system, or by leaving the habitable zone around the sun.
Well, don't forget your towel :reminder_ribbon: - what could possibly go wrong... :dizzy_face:
I have also posted a post mortem with a timelapse video :film_frames: of the development process.
