Sol by pikkpoiss
In Sol you are trying to populate a solar system with life. You can place Earth-like planets in orbit around a star. Each planet pulls on the others so you must deftly balance the gravity wells of every object in the system.
Please contact twitter.com/kurrik if you have any issues with these builds! We want to make sure as many people get a chance to play as possible! If it doesn't work for you, let us know!

[SPOILER?] With a lot of luck I managed to get 1M people but I couldn't bring the planet into the sun, I tried a lot. [/SPOILER]
I feel like such an asshole god when I create a planet which is annually set on fire, causing hundreds of people to perish in flames. :(
Very nice game and a really interesting idea. I love the music, really sets the mood. It is really addicting, and the gameplay based on finger/movement precision is really enjoyable.
Great work!!

Seriously fun game. It's beautiful, it's the right balance of difficulty, it has great dialogue (what little there is from the sun), the planet animations are kind of funny, the music is excellent. I think you'll be getting 5 stars on everything but the theme!
I really like this concept! I wonder if you'd make it a full arcade style game or even a puzzle game where you have to play with how you put things in orbit to win.
