Solved all the levels! Once I understood how astronomy works, It was merely a question of time and patience. And angles. I like it very much.

I'm sorry but I don't get it. What do I need to do? A little explanation about the mechanics and goal of the game would be awesome. The art looks cool and the mechanic of the simulated solar systems looks interesting though. I think I finished one level, not really sure though.

Fun gameplay, I love me a good physics puzzle!
Would *REALLY* benefit from instructions. It took me ~10m to releasize I could drag the kiwi. For anybody else who plays:

GOAL OF THE GAME: Destroy all the birds on each level.
HOW TO PLAY: Click and drag to launch your kiwi, like a slingshot. Once you release, the kiwi will go flying, and gravity will do the rest. Press the little "R" in the corner to reset if you miss.

Playing it for the first time is extremely fun, really like how you catapult your ship into or beyond orbit. Hitting the ducks is so much fun when you realise how. I like to thank everyone for leaving a comment and a special thanks to the team that made this game possible.

Hint to everyone playing it use your keyboard WASD-keys to move when completed all the levels. :D

Great job!
The game works and graphics are nice.

Same here, it took me waaay to much time to understand what to do and how to do it.
Dragging is not intuitive, I was just clicking, and then I didn't know if I should kill the birds or not!

Thanks for the game 💕

great, weird little game :)

I wasn't able to beat all the levels (properly, all ducks in one shot) BUT I was able to do the last one, and that was satisfying as hell.

Good thing someone mentioned the click/drag, because otherwise I don't think I would've figured it out.
This game me serious Incredible Machine vibes and that is awesome!

Nice entry :)

I like the art and sounds. I have a feeling the 3+ body Problem is a little too chaotic to make for good puzzle gameplay. Didn't realize I could drag until I read the comments here and had to go back to the game.

The music and sounds fit the game well, the idea with the orbiting objects is interesting and seems to work well, however I must admit, that it's not completely intuitive and I wasn't sure if I had completed the level once all ducks were gone and nothing happened.

Didn't get it at first. But once I got the hang of it, it turned out to be a pretty cool idea!

almost solved all of them, i'm getting there) the hardest part was calming down and waiting for the physics to happen. really unique, a tutorial would be nice tho

The game was pretty fun to play, took me some time to realize that it's a intergalactic Mini-Golf Like. Some in-game tutorial would be nice, apart from that the game is well polished and reminds me of flash games of the gone days. :P
All the best for your future projects!

Great art, music and collision physics. Some of the levels I could not finish but it was pretty fun.
