Orbitrunner - Flash game

OrbitrunnerTime wasters are a funny thing; sometimes they seem hard at first, but quickly become very easy. I'm pretty sure that Orbitrunner is not one of those time wasters.

In Orbitrunner, you control the placement of the sun, around which planets and sometimes moons orbit. Your job is to keep all of the other celestial bodies on the same screen for a predetermined number of seconds. They cannot leave the game window, and they cannot collide with the sun, or with each other. The only tool you have at your disposal is the gravity of your sun, and your ability to move the sun arbitrarily.

While it will only take a few moments to grasp the concept of this physics-based game, it will take much longer to master it. But luckily for us, the explosion animation that occurs when planets collide is spectacular. I know, I've seen it quite a few times.
