The game does not work for me. This is the error message I get:

Error: nah/lef.lua:238: 'for' limit must be a number
stack traceback:
nah/lef.lua:238: in function 'addSystem'
nah/lef.lua:613: in function 'processor'
nah/lef.lua:529: in function 'processLuaFilesInFolderReturningSubfolders'
nah/lef.lua:609: in function 'addAllSystemGroupsIn'
main.lua:66: in function 'load'
[string "boot.lua"]:378: in function <[string "boot.lua"]:373>
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

I will try again later when I am on windows.

Good idea. Need some more gameplay, but pretty fun.

vrld> Whoops! Was it the love source you were running?

Nice idea. But... Why the star is created last? Shouldn't it be first and lastly form the smallest planets ( or planetoids or asteroids whatever ) from whatever is left? Also, the 4-way wrapping around was tricky.

can't run, love 0.8 conflicts with too many libs on my system. To pack love to run on linux without requiring all users to install your exact version you can pack the interpreter like i showed josefnpat how to do here http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=preview&uid=11249 (as a note, installing love 0.8 makes all love 0.7.2 games stop working)

The mechanic is nicely executed. Not much challenge or to do though. Music would've been nice.

This is quite cool, I like the particle effects and the mechanic. Of course more of a gameplay challenge would be nice. For me it went into fullscreen mode and I couldn't exit out of it. I had to kill the process, and then it left my resolution all wonky. I don't know if it would be possible to start in windowed mode, that would be nice.

This was pretty cool, and I enjoyed playing it.

Here are things I said out loud (to my wife, who wasn't listening) during playtesting:
"Oh my God, the edges wrap. That's fairly important information. Why didn't it tell me the edges wrap? Crap. I was putting my planets in the corners. Crap. The edges wrap. Crap."
"Hey, if the edges wrap, how come any particles that fly over the edges don't get pulled back by my gravity?"
"That's a lot of carnage. I blame God for not telling me the edges wrap."

So yeah, all on a theme there, but except for that one little point, really enjoyable. Very relaxing. Needs spacey music :)

Interesting concept!
