Original and Fun

Wow, great idea for a game. I've never seen anything like it. I like physics games when they are done right. For the most part I loved it, but...
A couple things.
The explostion sound is jarring and annoying. It doesn't fit the rest of the game sounds.
The main menu is awesome and very well done, however the after game menu should be reduced to something more simple. You have to do many retrys on some levels and having to wait for the fade out and menu animation to retry again is annoying. The fading the game in and out after every death is annoying as well. I'd do a quick pop-up on the menu and also wait a second or two after you "die" before showing the menu so you can see the results of the explosion. It is too much of an annoying shock to have the menu start to go through it's slow fade and animation before you even saw what happened. With that, have the option to click and bring up the menu right away, but wait a sec or two before showing, and don't fade out the game or fade in.
Fix that and I'd give it a perfect 10. It's original AND fun, something of a rarity...

Original

I liked the totally original gameplay, and the physics of the game, but you can basically complete the first 6 levels without moving, and from there on in it got a whole-hell of a lot harder, but I still liked it

Difficult, but great!

This game is quite a mindbender, great idea, and thank you for ptting in a skip level button, that was a good idea. For a sequel, maybe make a difficulty selector, so that players with less time to play can have fun as well as more hardcore gamers.

Balanced game

i didnt think that it was too difficult at all, and i dont see why everyone is whining about difficulty. i got all the way through (utilizing skip lvls tho :) )

i thought the tracers were a cute idea too, it's great to see all the designs. the only problem i had was that on the "victory lap" at the end when i completed it it just froze. was it supposed to do that to let me see the designs?

it could have been taken a step farther, but it was a pretty decent game and good concept. good job.

very good

An excellent physics-based game! And interesting to play for any physics or astronomy students.

It could also be used as an example to show how delicate our position is in the universe. All it would take is a little bump to destroy everything we know. We're very tiny in this universe of ours.
