Add the data folder so we can play :)

Sorry, I didn't notice the data folder was missed before I go to bed. Fixed already.

This is awesome! Really like the idea of throwing planets into orbit <3

cool concept, but i found it a little hard

Cool concept. I miss some hints of the trajectory, at least its beggining. Personally I'd not reduce the "space" after a collision: the difficulty already ramps with more planets in orbit.

Good job nevertheless.

I am the destroyer of worlds... My first attempt ended poorly, but after getting the hang of it I found this game satisfying to play.

Took a few tries before I got it but it's a very nice concept. I love how you used real planet data. I also like the art style despite it being so plain and simple, I think it fits well. It reminds me of those "sand" games. The one thing that was a bit counter intuitive was that the velocity line wasn't inverted like most games which sort of sent my earth plummeting into the sun. I do wish there was some sounds and it was a bit easier.

Neat concept, I'm just not sure exactly what the goal is, and it's pretty difficult to gauge how much you need to pull it to get the correct speeds.

I found this so funny, specially when the planets crash with each other :laughing:
It's a bit hard, but addictive, great entry! :thumbsup:

Quite hard and punishing, I'd love a quick restart button to make learning quicker.

I thought the "-" before the population number was a negative sign and I was like "how can a population be negative" lol

Interesting idea! There's just a few things that make the game less enjoyable IMHO: the fact that when a planet dies spaces shrinks a lot suddenly, and the fact that when planets collide they immediately die, whereas it would have been fun that they bounce against each other and it alters their trajectories (and very likely they'll die anyway in the sun or out of space).

Anyway, overall that's a good entry! :)

Great orbiting mechanic, but the game could use a little love, like a reset when the space run out.
