A planet simulator with a side of chaos. Create and manipulate planets to cross items off your heavenly to do list, unlocking more and more powers as you go.
Controls _Note that not every item here is available from the get-go. Check the in-game tutorial for a more accurate listing._
Left click and hold to begin placing a planet. Drag the mouse to give the planet some velocity. When the outline reaches your desired height, release. Planets in proximity to other planets become hotter, with particles indicating their current state. Habitable planets lie in a certain temperature range. A planet not orbiting is a star, one orbiting a star is a planet, and one orbiting a planet is a moon.
Using the upper UI indicator changes the color of the created planets. Gravity functions from larger planets to smaller planets only if they are different colors.
Using the lower UI indicator changes the type of planet added, once other types are unlocked. The black hole eats other planets but can be fully controlled by the mouse. The orbiting type of planet will 'lock' onto the nearest planet and choose a suitable velocity to orbit it. Gas planets cannot collide with other planets.
Use WASD to pan the camera. Use the scroll wheel to zoom the screen. Use Shift to slow down time. Use right click to drag an already placed planet.
The premise of this game is really neat. You truly do start with nothing! I had some trouble with positioning the planets, though---it was a little tough to figure out what relative sizes/positions are needed.
I really like the game overall but ran into a bug where my mouse would create a big black spiral (maybe the black hole), I tried swapping the planet type and couple of other things but I was not able to get it to stop
