Orbit by boboKat
Orbit is an minimalist experimental music toy. It is meant to be explored. Drag the bars around to manipulate the orbs and create new musical planets. Figure out how to generate additional planets and experiment coralling and placement to create musical patterns.

Pretty fun, although I couldn't figure out any new orbs after the firey one.

Doesn't fit the theme to me, and really doesn't impress me musically. Keep trying though. With better instrumentation, I feel like this could be a great "toy."

Not really a game, but kind of fun once you continuously get the purple ball in the middle to keeps spawning orbs and make it go crazy.

One thing I didn't mention - the planets do a 4-way audio mix based on the corner of the screen that they're in. If you get them bouncing back and forth you can start to hear this happening. To get the third type of planet you need to bounce the small sparks around enough for them to grow and evolve.

More paddle variety/control wouldn't have hurt, I think. At least the ability to rotate the paddles as it didn't really seem to help/hurt overall play with them being fixed size/angle. Nice sounds!

Fun sound game, but I just messed around with it instead of trying to win... lol.

When you pickup the subtle audio interacts it becomes interesting. Needs more object merging configurations!

Interesting idea, although I kinda couldn't find what to do after I generated few red planets and had them bouncing around... but this would be worth expanding.
