    Fun idea, but kind of maddening that I can click and hold to add mass to a hole but if i overshoot, i can't do anything subtract mass or delete a hole.

      The ability to subtract mass is definitely needed. All you can do is click “undo” and try again. You can drag the holes around too. Still pretty fun, I played 5 or 6 levels

        I just pushed an update. Click on the hole and controls will appear. I think you'll enjoy the later levels (10+)

        Tap the black hole and it gives you ability to add and remove.

    Never ignored a tutorial faster.

    (This is a compliment.)

    This is the year of old browser (and/or flash) games making a comeback in some form.

    This is kind of a cool concept. It's like Space Golfing.

    Another alternative is to make it like a turn-based Scorched Earth (Mother of all games), where you can either

    1. launch asteroid size projectiles across star systems in a field of stars and black holes to it each other.

    2. launch projectiles that then place black holes (perhaps either by timeout or signal--taking into account the speed of light!) to change the field.

    It's a good start!

    Feedback:

    - It would be nice to be able to manually key in the matter; on Safari desktop clicking uses up matter too quickly to set precisely.

    - Key to speed up time once running.

    It’s nice but clearly designed for desktop

    It’s a mobile world. This would be so nice as a proper touch enabled game

      It sorta works. Hoping to do more testing (tomorrow)

        Just a few tokens away from a flutter port
