I'll give this game a tentative thumbs up if only because it held my attention for the 99 cents. This feels almost more like an analogue puzzle you'd have sitting on your bookshelf than a video game in the classic sense; with no score or timer, you're simply trying to reach the Supernova IE the highest-tier of planet/orb by shooting the two smallest planet types into the circle, where they are drawing to the center by gravity. Group planets of the same type in a triangular formation and they'll merge to make the next highest size. You either win, or you don't, and in both cases, your reward is basically just to restart and do it again.
Honestly, I don't hate that about this game, a puzzle for the sake of a puzzle. A time killer.
The primary drawback of the game is that it often feels like you're being cheated out of making a match. The criteria for doing so is to group 3 planets together so that all three planets are touching each other, flush. Think 3 marbles in a triangular formation. No other pattern will do. But it's often the case that the planets will appear to be in exactly this orientation but do not merge, which can be frustrating. I'm not gonna be too hard on the game however, as I get the sense it's either a practice game or perhaps a school project or similar.
I can't say it's a game you'll be playing for years, but as a toy to tinker with, it's not bad, something worth booting up if you have around 40 minutes to kill, and the sound design, while simple, is pretty relaxing. For a buck, I'd say it's worth it, especially if you're into these kinds of puzzle games.
