One more entry that reminds me Flow, for the slow rhythm and contemplative nature. Very calm and good to look at, even though it lacks actual game mechanics and is more of a simulator \/ pretty toy - but nothing wrong with that!

I wish I had a little more agency in the process though - I didn't feel like me moving around the planet did a whole lot - things kind of moved forward on their own, albeit a bit slower.  Also the meteorites come in a bit too fast to do much about it.  That said, graphics were great, has a nice feel to it.
