The idea is that there are solar systems that are unstable or "out of control" and the player has to keep them under control for a short time to go to the next solar system.

This was a fun, chaotic game. The short timers on each level kept it fast-paced, not to mention it made it much les frustrating to mess up (which I often did, haha). After about 5 levels or so the game wouldn't let me move on to the next level after I beat it, which was a total bummer since I wanted to play more!
Thanks! there were no more than 5 levels by the way we just didn't have time to make a finish screen.
The presentation is great, but the music was way too loud and bassy. Destroyed my ears 10/10.
It was always that Red Planet!!! Dx
(Really nice art!)
This is a really nice submission! I like this interpretation of the theme a lot, and the last level really captures that out of control feeling. The visuals are really nice and everything felt nicely tuned for just the right amount of difficulty and I was really hoping for more levels, which is a great sign!
I love these kind of real-time puzzle games where there are several ways you can complete each level. Really great work!
My only (small) complaint is that clicking some of the smaller planets got pretty hard as they're moving and panning around was a little painful. But the game was designed well around these things in the end.
Cool idea! Feels like it'd be perfect for a touchscreen. Very nice art as well!
This game makes me go YES!
I found this game pretty though, but not frustrating to play. The pixel graphics are cool, props to the artist!
Maybe you'd want to rate our game as well? Have fun!
I love this game! The mechanic and physics makes some really cool and intense situations, all in a somewhat challenging manner. Planets with different sizes and masses and the occasional suns in the middle make for a really interesting experience and bring a lot to the individual levels, and it's all well complimented by the art style. Great work!
Really nice game, had a lot of fun playing it. I didn't figure out to exit the game when I was done though :P
Yeah sorry for that it's so easy to forget to make the simple things with so much time pressure.
Interesting game and nice art! I like gravity based mechanics. A pause function/slow-down for aiming would be nice. I also would like to be able to zoom out.
Wow that's a really good idea, wish we had thought of that.
A fun planet management puzzle game with nice art. Very neat!
One thing that would be nice to add is a zoom out feature, or even just having the camera a bit "further back" to see more. I found myself keeping all the planets in the same space without panning because it made managing them all easier. Hope that's helpful!
But overall, nice work! Would love to see more levels with more planets!
This is suuper fun!!! I beat all the levels. Nice work!
We did make the music ourselves but the soundeffects existed before the jam.
