I've played several rounds and its quite tricky, but great fun. At first its a little untuitive, but I think I figured out the mechanics quite quickly - well done!

Really liked the game! The core mechanic is very simple, however, adding multiple planets into this game really helps with the fun of multitasking. The multitasking done here is excellent as you only need to control one thing about each task, this makes it simple but when managing multiple planets makes it very exhilarating. I felt genuine accomplishment out of this 5 minute long game and that is a very difficult thing to do. This really is an amazing game and you all should be very proud of yourselves. Thanks and have a good day! :)

I don't think I could have handled a lot more than 30 seconds BUT I got it 😎
Clever game, loved the faces when two planets get close. Good job!
I also played several rounds and was able to save all planets using only the sun. So probably a bit more balancing would have been good regarding the game. Additionally, your timer shows fun stuff once you reach 0. Overall, I like the idea and yes, you can be proud about your game. Well done!
It was a lot of fun figuring things out and getting better each time. It was a really addicting loop lol
Thank you all very much for the comments, greatly appreciate the support and feedback!
Wow, that's something. Very original. It's rough to realize that you are just a human, who can't build a perfectly functioning solar system even if there are 3 planets*. But hey, at least I managed to save Earth one time.
Being responsible for a small planetary system is a heavy task for a poor human! I really like the concept of multiple gravities to manage. As already mentioned, the sun's extreme gravity somewhat negates the interest of the other planets, but that doesn't prevent me from appreciating your game's potential, bravo!
Controls are quite hard, had to play a few rounds to fully understand. But very interesting idea:)
Very original idea. I agree with others that it could use a little balancing, but it's a great start. The UI could use a little polish as well, but all in all it's a solid game. Great job!
Neat game! I like the music it is relaxing but also engaging. The faces on the planets to show health is awesome and charming. the sliders can be hard to micro at times so maybe scrolling on a planet to adjust might be helpful. if the map border were a spinning asteroid field that might be better as I can cheese the game by gently laying the planets on edge. really cool game and I can see this being expanded with more challenging objects to deal with in orbit.
AHHH it's a perfect idea ! I wish there were more levels with other planets, several suns at the same time ... Nevertheless it's a very good game with cute graphics !
Very fun game and idea, I somehow managed to make a dual plant orbital system that worked for 10 seconds until it crashed, BUT THEY DIDN'T EXPLODE. It would have been cool to see more levels.
Seems like a fun concept to build off from. Slightly disappointed when the planets didn't match the thumbnail art.
Really fun game, it looked simple at the start, but then I got addicted to solve the puzzle. I like how the planets healt is represented with the faces, it adds comic element to the planet destruction. It looks like it could have a bit variatey, with different starting position of planets and initial speeds. Nonetheless, welcome back to game development, and good luck with your next game :D
Niice ^^ wish there was more levels, idk if i could save more than 3 tho lool. I already had to read the comments on tips to solve it for just these 3 hehe and was still pretty tricky
Tough game to wrap your head around! Pretty interesting mechanic, haven't seen that before too much. Like some other comments this was complex enough that I couldn't have survived much longer, or with another planet, so balanced pretty well. Nice work!
The idea is very cool. I like that the game gives me a challenge.
funny game! (I especially liked the emotions of the planets ^^)
Very enjoyable - really liked the faces of the planets. Tricky to get the hang of though :slight_smile:
I managed to save them all. Took me several tries to do that. Nice learning curve. Great game. Good job!
Neat game, making them crash together was pretty fun lol Having different levels with different kinds of planets of various sizes and positions would be cool.
