Unstable Gravity by EasyLuckyGem

[raw]

​Gravity is unstable! Any planet can suddenly start gravitating towards the sun! Do not let life in this universe fall below the critical value due to gravitational anamalies!

Controls: WASD - move the sun P - pause

Quite a unique concept. Nice music. The first level was a bit too long/difficult for learning the game. Nice job

Very nice idea! Quite challenging though. The music creates a very dramatic atmosphere, I like it.

Interesting game, but pretty difficult. Also it was unclear what the coloured auras meant

The sun's gravity is so strong that it's hard to find stable conditions, which fits the theme perfectly. Cool!The art style is lovely, the music is great, and the games are challenging but fun

That's a really interesting concept and enjoyable to play. I found it a bit too difficult to understand how much the sun was affecting the different planets; a possible extension could be to show the gravity well of the suna dn planets somehow.

Good thinking on stability and solar system. I destroyed so many poor lifes while getting used to the mechanics. Sad... :D. Nice game dude!

Awesome game! Love the concept, the visual indicators are great! I would love to see this idea expanded, really interesting design, a lot to explore there. Great idea and well executed.

Quite difficult but I really like the cosmos concept here. It is very innovative!

It feels like playing on Hard from the get go.

Orbit visualization should make this way less confusing.
Some indication about a planet "needs" would be nice too.

Alternatively, you can add a legend to description (Some people actually read them! Not everybody, but...).

Great game!

But super hard. I didn't manage to beat the second level, despite being in on one digit timer values three times :D

The dramatic piano music was very fitting!


Makes you really appreciate the terrific job our real sun does, day after day!

Unique concept, I managed to get to the second universe, can't seem to stop the planets colliding at certain points, but decent entry.
