Sputnik v. 1.0




RULES

Your goal is to score by guiding the particle flow using gravitation of planets that you can move around the field and change masses of. When the length of a stable particle flow - the trajectory of your sputnik exceeds 200 hundred units, you will be prompted to accept a point offer based on the length of the trajectory. You can either accept the offer and collect the points by hitting space or continue to build your field in attempt to make the trajectory longer. Minimum length is 200 steps (4 points). The score is after that square of length/100, eg. with a trajectory of length 800, you get 64 points. When you accept the offer, all planets disappear and you have to start building all over again. Particle flow activates when you have 4 or more masses in the field and deactivates when there's less.
