I got a highscore of 6344! I feel that makes me king of planets.

I think this is a pretty clever concept and a funny take on the theme. About 1-2 minutes in it sounded like a bunch of stuff all crashed together offscreen and then a crapload of things flew at me from all over. It was more hilarious than annoying.

5843 - I liked the idea.

7356! This is a cool concept. The art is really good! Fits the theme wonderfully (and literally). I did run into a bug where some of my planets glitched off the screen. I ended up getting a score of 8596 that time because they still counted as connected to me. Great game!

Thanks for all the kind words so far! Certainly aware of not just the "planets stuck off-screen bug", but also how planets chained together but not necessarily attached to you will still add up points. Both of these will certainly be fixed soon once the Compo is finished.

I'd also like to fix the asteroids to where it isn't so luck-based when it comes to avoiding them. This was my first game with a vertical aspect ratio, and I didn't realize just HOW big an impact that could have on such things lol.

My high score is 7216.
