Cool idea, setting up tons of chained planets is fun.

Solid game! I actually had a lot more fun than I anticipated placing planets and watching them orbit around. One feature I would have liked to have seen was maybe a three-strike system or something like that... as-is, the most fun I had was on one run where I built a system that ended up chain-destroying a bunch of planets. So maybe another mode where the goal's not to keep as many planets as possible orbiting, but rather to destroy as many planets at the same time, would also be fun!

Thanks for the game.

Awesome game, bookmarked for later :)
Maybe add a way to view highscores without entering one to make it perfect?

Awesome idea! Found it pretty tricky to get a decent set up but there are a huge amount of possibilities! Great fun with an arcadey tune behind! Nice entry!

Very good job on your game! I had a lot of fun with it. Great music, nice sound effects, and solid gameplay. The best part is that even when you lose, it feels good because you get to destroy freaking planets!

Sweet concept and a some solid game design to back it up. Nice particle effects, generally good graphics and some lovely audio tied it all together

That's really fun. I loved launching a bunch of planets really fast and getting wild fast orbits. :-)

Cool idea, was a lot of fun making those giant orbit clusters! Oddly enough I also made a similar style game about planet creation: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=29650

Cool idea, and it's really fun trying to fit as many planets as you can. Pretty addictive. :)

Graphics are polished, and I like the music and sound effects too. Overall it's a really great, arcadey entry.
