[edit] Gameplay
Players start off as the smallest body in a solar system, and must use the gravity of the other bodies to move around (pressing A to attract towards objects an B to repel off them) to collide with the next largest body, combining to create one larger body. This is repeated until the player captures the sun in the solar system. The player then moves on to the next level.
Depending on the current size of the player's body, you can either attract towards other bodies and absorb them, enlarging your body. This allows you to absorb more massive objects. Or, you can attract other bodies into your gravitational field, causing them to orbit your body. Any bodies orbiting the player's body will become extra lives at the end of the stage.
You can move through the stage by a number of techniques, including "free-floating," and "orbit hopping"; orbiting a body, then repelling to the next body and orbiting it.
