Very impressive and so pleasing to play!
Glad you liked it :D
Really cool idea, I enjoyed playing with the physics to get some very satisfying orbits going on.
I feel like the play area could be increased a bit as sometimes it felt like it was the only thing stopping me from be able to get an orbit going
thanks for the feedback! Yes I agree, increasing area size with level as well as zoom in/out feature can help the game alot. but unfortunately there was no time to add these mechanics
Yeah super hard to squeeze in everything in such a short time, but getting done what you did is seriously cool and impressive
Great game ! I really like the concept :)
Glad you liked it!
Very unique concept! I really enjoyed the visuals and the trails left by the planets/stars were so helpful. Awesome job!
Glad you liekd it!
Its way more fun than I expected. It reminded me of a web game i used to play at school good job!
Glad you liked it!
Very cool game, ended up being quite the challange
Thanks for the feedback!
This is great! Tbh ended up being way more fun than I expected, so satisfying when the orbits work out. Love the physics, so smooth, and really nice controls. Quite difficult, but I imagine thats the point. I agree with other comments that maybe some hint as to what the trajectories will be before starting could be nice.
Great stuff!
Glad you liked it! thanks for the feedback :D
It was really hard to manage planets to avoid the collision and I really like the concept!
It could be fun to have a kind of "sandbox" where I can create my own planet with its own mass !
Anyway, it was a nice experience, well done!
Thanks for the feedback! I had to make planet collisions a fail condition since you can make them "huddle". yes I agree, sandbox mode is cool. I wanted to add the ability to slightly change mass of existing planets but did not have time unfortunately.
It was challenging, I wish my placement from the last level transfers to the next level. Well done!
interesting idea to keep placements. thanks for the feedback!
Nice idea. Really difficult, however. It would be good to be able to show a trajectory indication before launching the simulation instead of having to run it repeatedly.
yes I wanted to add that but unfortunately I did not have time
It's a really cool idea, but it's really hard for a monkey like me, lol.
thanks for trying it!
Nice interpretation of the theme, very innovative. It was pretty hard to get a hang of it at the beginning, but it got fun after a while. A tutorial level would have been nice.
I agree, tutorial would have been helpful. I ran out of time so I just put a rules page. Thanks for playing!
This was really fun to just fiddle with the velocities and location to get the to JUST pass each other by. Great work!
Glad you liked it!
cozy but really challenging!
for more planets a little difficult to setup, and I feel that the sun is too easily influeced by the other, a fun little experience
building helio centric system is bit challanging
if I make the sun bigger, it becomes too powerful and pulls all the planets since the space is small, so had to change it. Thanks for playing the game!
Seems like a very fun game, I just didn't really lock in on the puzzles but for those who enjoy this type of game I can see it being very challenging yet satisfying. Very well made.
Really brainy this one! Very challenging as others said, but seeing the orbits align is so satisfying. Really cool!
Interesting idea, challenging levels but satisfying when you align the orbits just right!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
A puzzle-like take on Universe Sandbox, pretty challenging but also incredibly satisfying when you tweak it just right!
Thanks!
Loved the idea! Very challenging
Thanks!
