That is very cool, and disturbingly addictive... but I think that it belongs in General Discussion. I'm hitting the 'bad post' button on this, but it isn't because it's a bad post; I just think that a mentor might want to move it.
 
Yep, cute, but definitely not an engineering topic.
 
This is a cool game. Thanks for posting.
 
lmao, round 4. I went around the moon, came back and hit the one next to the earth, went around the earth, then around the moon and hit the one next to the moon :smile:
 
I need more than 5 :bugeye:
 
That was pretty easy. Needs more levels, and bonus points for long paths!

Also a bit weird when you fly right through the moon because of bugs...
 
Gee, I aced levels 1-4 but level 5 took me at least 100 tries!
