Second try and 305145... I am thinking that the high scores must be very high, since I am still pretty bad at this, and my scores sound so high.

Hey, this is more fun than snooker, and you don't even need to chalk your cue stick. I feel a new time drain coming on.

Of course, tomorrow is another day.

Oh well...

Damn you Amy!!!

I knew I never should have checked out the link.....

Needless to say, I've now spent HOURS playing this game. Too bad my hubby caught me doing it though....he took it away from me, and we've been volleying back and forth trying to outdo each other's scores.

(We're both easily addictive....AND competitive...bad combo!)

Heh. Just try going in a different direction. I don't think you ever die or lose your turn or anything, so it just takes patience.

Amy, you're EVIL!! I'm still on level 16 (That's a toughy.) But, I have lots of pretty colors to show for my misses.

I'm glad I read all the replies before checking it out - I don't have time for a new addiction right now! (But I saved it away for the future!)

This is really a fascinating game. Educational too!

For more fun with gravity simulations, here is a really really neat interactive thingy.

Addictive is putting itmildly. I made through the vile level 16 and also got stuck in orbit on level 25. I waited it out, though and eventually got 40,000 points on the level. 140, 944 is probably pitiful but I'm happy.

Bloody dang penguin.

Level 16 tip....

Try aiming left and down to set up a curve back to the ship. Sometimes it works...
