not really sure what i was doing but it was fun! i liked how the sound layered on top of itself and made it feel alive when you had a lot of planets in orbit. also it was funny making a planet larger than the sun!

I really like the concept of this, but I feel like this is more of a simulation than a game. Even so, It freaking rocks dude. I could sit here for hours just trying to get different orbits to stabilize.
I've played this twice now, and it sounds like a nifty concept, but I feel like I might be missing something.
I've been clicking on the grid in the upper right corner sort of like it's a slot machine, with no idea what it does, or what it means.
Then when the score gets calculated, I just have no idea how that relates to what I did.
Ok, after reading the other comments, I finally made some sense of it. I think I might have figured it out sooner if the little dot where a carrot or arrow. I wasn't getting that it was trying to show me the heading of the planets I was placing; I kept thinking I needed to either click inside the graph, or on the red dot itself.
Come to think of it, having the cursor appear as a carrot or arrow, and just moving that around in space might alleviate the need for the little graph, entirely- and keep silly people like me from chasing the red dot around. :D
It was much more fun now that I get the gist of it. :)
cheers for the feedback bro, i will see what i can do, on the original build it was tied to the cursor but i wanted to make the game more accessable to mobile so i moved it to the top corner, Ill make some better UI for it so its easier to understand and maybe a little controlls menu or tutorial on the main menu so people dont get as stuck. thank you
Holy crap I spent way too much time playing this. I eventually made a decent sized planet that actually had a small moon perfectly orbiting around it for probably like 50+ orbits around the sun. It was beautiful to watch. I don't know how this is related to the theme, but easily 5-stars for gameplay and how much I enjoyed it. I'm going to be following this!
It is an amazing cool game and it is nice to see that you updated the graphics and also reduced the spam-clicking bug. Good Luck for your game.
Nice, For some reason this simple game kept me playing for 10 minutes somehow with me trying to get a huge planet
