Very much fun and well balance and... I don't know, kind of perfect. Well, it'd be nice to have a clear indicator of which bubble is up to pop if one just places a new one. It took me one retry to figure out what made the meteors explode at times and that the purpose was to divert and\/or shoot at the others. So it might be good with a first time play instruction about the rotation and shooting. Not on every replay though. Got 1165. Don't know how that stands. Oh it would also be cool if there were bonuses for e.g. trapping two in the same bubble and then using both to shoot down two different meteors."},{"author_name":"teirce","author_uid":"52730","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 9:33pm","epoch":1429910880,"text":"What an amazing entry! I really liked your graphics, and the aesthetics of the game as a whole. It took me a while to figure out that I could rotate gravity wells, but that's a really neat idea.

It's really impressive. For me it's only missing on the fun factor.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I wonder how it would play if you didn't need to rotate the asteroids around completely. As in - if it automatically reversed the direction on bubble entry. Would it make it too easy? It sorta feels a bit tedious to perform the same revolution every time. Although I just realized you can create the gravity orb &lt;anywhere&gt; and not just near the earth surface.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I sometimes get lost in which direction the asteroid is going to go. Maybe my brain thinks the triangle could be both a trail and a direction indicator? Practice I guess.."},{"author_name":"Enneract","author_uid":"11083","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 4:21am","epoch":1429935360,"text":"I really enjoyed this. Felt well polished, and graphics looked great.
