You are a rogue planet, drifting through space, looking for a new solar system to call home. On the way, you'll need to collect resources from moons you pass by in order to stay alive.

  • Collect 3 of the same moon to collect its resource.
  • Don't get stuck with a full orbit! Unload unwanted moons into nearby black holes.
  • Don't run out of any resources!
  • Try to get a high score!

I loved the sprites! You made some very convincing planets with very few pixels. The music fit the mood very well. You gave the impacts a lot of juice! The sound and the shake sold the effect very well. The biggest challenge for me was avoiding the *wrong* moons, so that I could complete a set before filling my orbits.

Nice and simple game with a very pleasing aestetic, good job!

And as always, tip of the hat for HTML5 and allowing me not to download shady exe's and running them through wine :)

Nice game. The music and art was nice. Everything fit together. Interesting take on having the camera follow the planet's movements to give the effect of infinite space.

nice game, pretty hard! graphics and sounds fit well together.

it gets rapidly harder to avoid the moon you don't want rather than gather the one you do

Clean and simple, really liked the music.

It needs an online leaderboard, it would be perfect!

That was not what I was expecting, but cool nonetheless
