I'm not sure I understand the game, and I tried a few times. I seem to have hit a bunch of small objects and nothing happened. I liked watching the collisions though, satisfying in a pool of marbles kind of way. Also wasn't sure if the numbers in the corner were speed? ...overall not totally sure I get it.

As others have said it's a little unclear what to do at first but I'm ok with that :). \n\nGood 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.\n\nI 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).\n\nThanks for making this, I really like it.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":765366,"author_name":"Mathias Elgaard","author_uid":"mathias-elgaard","epoch":1634398673,"text":"Cool concept! It took a little while to figure out what to do, but once it was clear to me, the concept seemed interesting! I like that there is a score penalty for swiping.\nI 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?\nGreat game nonetheless!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":766018,"author_name":"Emparans","author_uid":"emparans","epoch":1634470574,"text":"I had a hard time understanding how to play at the beginning.
