A downloadable Centripetal

Centripetal is a puzzle game where solar systems need to be reformed to create a balanced and stable system. Players move planets to get them to their proper distance from the sun and travelling at the approximate correct velocity to stay in orbit (according to rough Newtonian physics). However, planets are fragile and there are many celestial obstacles that get in your way. Try to piece together all 10 solar systems without destroying your planets and before time runs out!

Feedback and bug reports are greatly appreciated! Just post them in the comments and I may make an update or 2, especially if it prevented you from getting the full experience out of the game.

Hey Jeffrey,

Just played around with your game for a bit and I really love the concept of it. I think it's extremely polished and looks fantastic. The music is nice and fits well with your theme, and your SFX give good immersion. 

Here are some things that I think you should consider:

- Having a more in depth / active tutorial instead of a wall of text. I found myself confused on what/how I was supposed to do something a few times. It's a bit hard to digest a wall of text, especially before the first level.

- Adjust the "finickiness" of it if that makes sense. I think that this type of game is supposed to have some, but I feel like the controls are extremely finicky and could be toned down just a tad.


A bug I found:

- I'm not sure how it happened but my mouse controls would randomly invert (i.e. pull would become right click and push would become left click)


All in all I think this is a great concept with great polish. A very nice first game :)
