This is super fun! Spin attack looks really cool and the quite literal "connected worlds" theme is spot on. Awesome stuff!

Great game! It felt really polished, and I loved the idea- I even managed to win a few games :-)
I like how you are confused at first, and 20 seconds later, you get it! Fun use of the theme - I enjoyed it. Nice work!

Hilarious! Original idea. Extremely fun swinging your planets around and trying to build a weapon while you collect them.

Cool game! I thought the graphics effects were a nice touch. It's a bit hard to get the hang of but I enjoyed it after a few games. Good job.

The trailing effect when you swing looks really cool. I also liked that you could hit the walls to get around quickly.

Spinning around was a lot of fun with that effect. Finaly beat P3!
