Fun idea, but kind of maddening that I can click and hold to add mass to a hole but if i overshoot, i can't do anything subtract mass or delete a hole.
also need a way to increase the sim speed. 1.5x 2x etc
Definitely a fun game kudos!
The ability to subtract mass is definitely needed. All you can do is click âundoâ and try again. You can drag the holes around too. Still pretty fun, I played 5 or 6 levels
I just pushed an update. Click on the hole and controls will appear. I think you'll enjoy the later levels (10+)
Nice domain name
Tap the black hole and it gives you ability to add and remove.
This is somehow surprisingly fun, a good game to play with kids.
Fantastic! Should add an (optional) instruction level, but would have loved this game as a kid.
This is the year of old browser (and/or flash) games making a comeback in some form.
This is kind of a cool concept. It's like Space Golfing.
Another alternative is to make it like a turn-based Scorched Earth (Mother of all games), where you can either
1. launch asteroid size projectiles across star systems in a field of stars and black holes to it each other.
2. launch projectiles that then place black holes (perhaps either by timeout or signal--taking into account the speed of light!) to change the field.
It's a good start!
Very nice, being busy with sth, and I could not go through all levels and reached the one with star(sun?), but the topic of gravity assist manouver was always inspiring for me, so I enjoy this game, congrats on making it!
wow wonderful game this is super fun! Would love it on iOS
It launches on mobile safari but doesnât seem playable, landscape on mobile safari sucks.
Sorry, it very much began as a desktop game. Hoping to work on it if I have time tomorrow
Never ignored a tutorial faster.
(This is a compliment.)
I know right? As soon as I saw the page, I had a rough idea of how to control things already. lol
Thanks! I like the keyboard experience (space for start/stop), arrows to add/subtract mass. Maybe I will add tabbing
