I think it could be improved by either having a stop rotation function or by having the planets continually moving - of course one way making it easier and the other harder. I only played the heavy mode for a little bit, but I really liked the feel of the controls. It made it seem more like you were trying to push a planet."},{"author_name":"DvanderAart","author_uid":"39433","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 10:57pm","epoch":1409179920,"text":"Good game this one.
