Protect the planets in your solar system from mysterious asteroids flying in from every direction, but your ship's thrusters can't manoeuvre enough to reach all of them on their own. You'll have to use the planets' gravity to move around and shoot down the asteroids before they can reach their targets!

Note: There is a WASM error that causes the game to crash if you are using the thrusters (pressing W or S) and enter the shop at the same time. It seems like there's very little info about this online but I'll try and get it fixed!

Controls (provided in in-game tutorial):

  •  Mouse/Left Click - Aim/Shoot
  • Right Click - Change gravity center
  • W/S - Forward/Backward Thrust
  • R - Stabilise Orbit
  • Space - Increase Centripetal force
  • E - Enter Shop
  • Q - Screen Wipe
  • P/Esc - Pause

Shop Offerings (in case you need some motivation to keep playing!):

  • Stat boosts (faster/bigger/heavier bullets, more bullets)
  • Screen wipe (bomb that clears all asteroids on screen)
  • Shield (protects you from one asteroid hit)
  • Bulldozer (allows you to destroy asteroids if you travel through them fast enough!)
  • Weapon types (all weapons stack to upgrade themselves):
  • Missile Launcher: Default weapon type, fires slow but hard hitting bullets
  • Shotgun: Spread of small, low damage bullets
  • Machine gun: High fire rate and high speed light bullets

Tips:

  • If you are continually bouncing towards a planet, you'll eventually be destroyed. To avoid this, pick another planet to use as your gravity center (or undo your gravity harness entirely) to bounce away from it.
  • When using the ARTs (i.e stabilising orbit with R), try and keep yourself parallel with the planet's surface. It doesn't work optimally most of the time but it can be helpful to nudge yourself into place
