The Big Bang by Zemmi
Fill planets with sexual tension
Release the planet's children into the cold depths of space via planetary destruction
Spread your seeds of destruction throughout the universe
CONTROLS:
Click to select
Click + Hold to birth towards cursor
Double-Click to birth all children in current direction
Press 'R' to restart the level
Press 'M' to mute audio
STEP BY STEP:
Click on a planet to select it
If a planet is full (solid center and fetus symbol) it can be birthed while selected.
Click and hold to birth people towards the cursor or double-click to birth all children at once.
When the planet has been completely birthed it will explode.
People are then launched through space, collide them with other planets to spread the love.
Destroy all planets to win.
* The slightly different controls for the fixed version are below the game on my site (the link takes you there). Also please rate based on the original version, it wouldn't be fair to rate based on the fixed one.

Unfortunately, I found it very difficulty to control. Clicking on a planet re-centered, so I would often click on a planet and the re-centering would change the angle. I think you could either make it so that you can't miss a planet or put the planets at 30, 60, 90 degrees from each other and it would be a lot easier to control while still being challenging.
Still, great job!
I liked the concept and all but the controls are a pain. I played level one with the new controls and it's a huge difference! Now it's more focused on the actual puzzle of the game than aiming correctly.
I have to judge based on the compo version which is less fun, but it's a great game :D
It was pretty cool.
@YMM @Benjamin Unfortunately forgot about making a tutorial until the competition was almost over and the sentences at the bottom are kinda hard to understand by themselves. If I take this further I'll definitely put work into making a good tutorial.
Noticed the "filled" indicator on the second go, thanks to the audio cue. Something a little stronger would probably help, though. (Perhaps a heart over the target planet?)
Control improvements in the post-compo version are a significant improvement, too.
