This is the year of old browser (and/or flash) games making a comeback in some form.

It’s nice but clearly designed for desktop

It’s a mobile world. This would be so nice as a proper touch enabled game

It sorta works. Hoping to do more testing (tomorrow)

Nice, a lot of fun!

This is kind of a cool concept. It's like Space Golfing.

Another alternative is to make it like a turn-based Scorched Earth (Mother of all games), where you can either

1. launch asteroid size projectiles across star systems in a field of stars and black holes to it each other.

2. launch projectiles that then place black holes (perhaps either by timeout or signal--taking into account the speed of light!) to change the field.

It's a good start!

Fun idea, but kind of maddening that I can click and hold to add mass to a hole but if i overshoot, i can't do anything subtract mass or delete a hole.

The ability to subtract mass is definitely needed. All you can do is click “undo” and try again. You can drag the holes around too. Still pretty fun, I played 5 or 6 levels

I love it! : )

Never ignored a tutorial faster.

(This is a compliment.)

Feedback: It would be nice to be able to manually key in the matter; on Safari desktop clicking uses up matter too quickly to set precisely.
