How it feels

A slow, contemplative sandbox where you gently toss cosmic chunks and watch gravity's delicate tug-of-war unfold.

What players say

Players call it a relaxing physics toy rather than a game, with n-body orbital mechanics letting you spawn rocks, comets, and black holes. Content is thin and there are no objectives, but space enthusiasts find it entertaining for hours at a low price. Some note audio glitches, framerate drops with too many objects, and a lack of save or controls menu.
