i too felt need to have a tutorial level.
(Secret Tip-: Stay Near the BlackTarget Score 2x Faster.)
Good use of the theme, and there's something hypnotic about it. It's also interesting to me how your score goes back down if you swipe.
I feel like the way the physics works is a little unintuitive - especially when you move the planet manually, it feels like it ceases to move like it's in an orbit (maybe this is fine, it just feels a little odd to me).
Thanks for making this, I really like it.
I think the biggest problem is that there isn't a clearly defined frame of reference (which may just be a natural consequence of outer space). It makes it difficult to tell how you're moving, or if you're even moving at all when you swipe. Maybe some distant stars in the background with a parallax effect could help create a sense of direction?
Great game nonetheless!
