- Itch.io may weirdly simulate mouse clicks on mobile
Controls
Mouse: select planets and place them
Touch: select and drag planets
(Keyboard people: You can select using 1, 2 and 3)

The moons are such a good concept !
GG for the job!
I think it's looping ? Maybe a congratulation screen would have been nice
But well done, a great game :stars:

I want to see a version of this that simulates gravity and yanks moons into three-body-problem orbits!
I will say it was hard to know how fast an orbit was going to be before placing a planet — maybe the preview indicator should show an animated version of its path?
That indicator was a placeholder, I wanted to make a better preview of the movement but ran out of time. Now I know I really should do that =)
The variety of sound effects was a nice touch, to prevent from getting repetitive.
Original take on the theme, well done!
Apart from that, the game what quite fun, but way too hard for me ahaha. I just sucked at it clearly : I couldn't be an orbit packer :laughing:
My only disappointment is that the game ends right when it introduces such a clever puzzle; I'd have loved to have seen "overlap" solutions like that develop further.
As for the music, I felt it sounded spacey and tense. The long string notes in the back are what makes it sound spacey. The tension comes from the piano melody sounding dissonant and I feel like the melody is never resolved, which is not too pleasing, and then just keeps on looping. I also think it sounded a tad too loopy and the part where the loop cuts is very noticable too. I think it would also be helpful to make the bass more rythmically and melodically interesting, in other words, not play the same note all the time at the same intervals of time in order to make it feel less loopy, but as it is it does make the song feel tense. The shaker as an embellishment to the song sounds okay I think.
I loved the crowd cheers when you complete a level and the crowd jeers when you fail a level. It reminds me a lot of the WarioWare minigames.
Overall, it was a fun and challenging game. Good job!
