Why opt out for the 'sound' review? I like the background music and sound effect too.
I am about construct criticism but I don't know how I would fix this. There was a certain point in the game that I did nothing for almost a minute and just racked up points. BUT, eventually a planet did spawn and made me have to do something again.
Aside from that everything was great! Good job man! I think you'll place really high in this competition. I really mean it.
P.S. I am so curious about your physics. I want to know how you got the planets rotating around the center like that.
A+
Also, turns out that making planets orbit that way is really easy; as soon as you make something gravitate toward it and add lateral movement, it kind of fixes itself; regardless of how you gravitate toward the center! The only thing I had to handle was making the gravity force stronger when the planets are further away to keep them from going out of orbit :)
