Hey TheLowestByte! I've reached a peak score of 10394 :D I love the physics as well as the visuals. It's much better now that the planets stay still at the start. I found the second easter egg, baseball (first was the text "insert planet here" a few days ago) You could probably turn this into a mobile game as well. Nice work, and good luck!
This is a fun idea for a game! I like the sounds when planets hit each other, very satisfying. I also like all the little popups showing point gains :)
I have some constructive thoughts about how to improve the game:
The black hole is quite hard to see against the black background.
The planets should start out still, but easily start bumping around after I shoot them. This would make it easier to understand how the game works while also making it less confusing that I'm getting points right away without doing anything!
It's not clear to me that my involvement in shooting the planets is actually leading to my getting more points! It feels a little random overall. Maybe one way to improve this would be to allow you to move the turret around, this would allow a more skill-based approach where I could be more deliberately bouncing the planets, e.g. into the black hole.

Very fun! I like how frantic it gets trying to get more and more of the planets into the black hole. The "clink" sound effect is really satisfying.

I'm glad you like it! I'll think about posting it on google play.

These all sound like good ideas. I think I'll add them to the game, thanks.
The changes are great! I feel much more active and like I have more agency over what's happening!
This is a fun idea. I would put the 20s countdown on the screen so the player can see it.
It's the O2 at the top, it gets redder and redder as you run out of oxygen on board, but you're right, I'll add the time next to it.
Oh, I totally spaced on that.
