Orbit Runner
Control the Sun with your mouse. Use it to manipulate the planets\' paths. The Sun\'s pull gets stronger as planets get closer. If the gravity is at a right...

a game of gravity. go crash some planets!
make a planetary system of your own creation be stable (i.e. no planet is ejected, or collides with another body). this is of course exceedingly easy when your system comprises of a few earthmass planets, but dynamical instability can quickly set in when adding a lot of heavier bodies (from giant planets, all the way to stellar companions).
the challenge is then to fit as many massive bodies as possible inside 2 aus (twice the distance between the earth and the sun), teetering close to instability but lasting at least 500 years. accordingly, the game rewards a daring player with more points (proportionally to the mass of each body added to the system).
