How to Play

• Shoot projectiles to damage your opponent.
• Projectiles have a gravitational pull towards Earth, Moon, and Sun
• Use Gravity Flares to apply extra force to nearby projectiles.
• If Earth explodes, everybody loses (there's no more orbit to pull everything together!)
• A smarmy alien will send bombs towards Earth; join together to stop them or you'll both lose!
• First one to not explode wins.
• Play single or two player.
