Solar System Clicker - Browser game by lanz611

Has only been tested with Chrome!
Click to add matter and watch what happens. When you have collected enough matter it will come together to form planets. When you have formed enough planets, your star will suck them all in and upgrade. Upgraded stars will support more planets.
I worked on this with my two kids, ages eight and seven, who helped with brainstorming and did all of the art.
Tip: the more matter that goes into a planet the bigger it will be.
Next immediate steps would have been to enable zooming in and out, as well as giving the asteroids more erratic orbits. I would also have liked to add buttons so that you could be more in control of whats happening, like a typical clicker.
The kids were hoping the biggest star would implode into a black hole, and then you could start forming whole galaxies! Maybe someday haha.
