Gravitas - a game of gravitational attraction

Simple premise:  You have to launch a projectile from point A to point B in a plane populated with planets/moons that exert a gravitational force upon the projectile.  As you progress through the levels, the number of planets increases.  The goal, however, is not really to get to some final level, but to have your projectile cover the most distance possible.  High scores:

Upon completing a level, you can submit your score to the high score server.  The server will also record the details of the level so that anyone can watch a replay of the shot (e.g. if you have a really neat shot, you can send your friends a link to show it off).  For example:

Enjoy!  And please let me know of any comments, suggestions, or bugs!

This is pretty cool. Kinda hard to get long distances, though. I don't that mean as a design criticism, just a fact. Smiley

Brilliant! Good integration with a scores table and replays as well; very well presented. Nice planet glow and textures. You should be very proud of this.

Edit:: You're right, it can be rather addictive...

I've started an exploration into making a 3D version:
