Orbit Well: Gravity Pool

Pool, played around a star. Planets circle a star on three orbits. You have a comet and a handful of shots. Hit a planet against the direction it travels and it slows, its orbit decays, and it falls into the star. Hit it along its orbit and it speeds up and climbs away instead. Sink every ringed planet before the shots run out to clear the rack. Every shot is real orbital physics. The outer orbit is a long way down, so it takes a harder strike. Planets on different rings move at different speeds, so you lead your target the way you would a moving ball. See the shot before you take it Drag to aim and the guide traces the comet's whole path, marks where it will meet its target, and tells you whether that strike sends the planet falling inward or climbing outward. Bank off the rim when the direct line is blocked. Racks that teach, then racks that never end The first twelve racks are…
