Notes:
-Made with Libgdx
-Still buggy but fully playable.

But I liked the originality of the gameplay mechanics, and above all it works flawlessly !
Somehow I have the feeling this game is complete, even if there is a lot of real-time feedback missing.
I don't get how this ended up in "least ratings" category. You did a great job.
Constructive criticism ? I don't know ... It felt kind of clunky. (I seem to be saying that a lot). But it's true - A lot of games loose out and feel unprofessional because they don't SNAP. You know, if there was like a exponential curve of approach, so as the balls came closer they almost got sucked in and very suddenly struck ... And there was some kind of visceral effect - Sound would be great. Something satisfying. And that you wouldn't mind hearing a hundred times ... Then you would have a game (at least a casual game) on your hands ...
Same with the earth rotation - It needs to move in a cool way. Something that would make it into a hackers movie. There is a term for this - for the kind of movement that ... goes on a curve ... but I can't think of it. So when you move the planet it doesn't just respond to the arc of rotation - instead it uses that arc to ramp up the movement (I think that's the word - RAMP) to a high speed and then ramp back down ... THAT will look cool !
Great game!
