Come on, I know it's my second run, but I'm still only 14. And I only had about two hours. And I spent about half that time making the music.\r\n\r\nWelcome to the distant star system of Polypus Alpha! Everything's fine, but then a black hole comes along and starts taking your planets. So you, the Star, have to fire, I dunno what it is, actually, to connect and stop them from being dragged away.\r\n\r\nSo, yeah. You drag your mouse from the \"sun\" in the center to the planets that come your way to attach them. And press space to reset.\r\n\r\nHAVE FUN!!!\r\n\r\nA note to anyone noticing the modification dates - I cleaned up a few bugs in this newer version: fixed a problem with the frame rate, the music now plays to the end before restarting, the worlds now bounce off the sides etc. but nothing to drastic, so you can calm down ;).","title":"Polypus"}
