Planet Families 2

Space Science Institute

About this game

Drag and drop planets and stars to make your own solar system. The physics engine will calculate how gravity between all of the asteroids, planets, and stars affect one another while they move through space.

Can you make a stable solar system? How about a stable solar system with a binary star?

Planet Families works on both phone and tablet devices.

Ratings and reviews

Overall a good game but it still get 4 star because there are so many faults. When you are in placing mode you can't pinch or big the screen and there are not too much planets to deploy, really disappointing.But there are so many good things too. But I recommended to make more planets to deploy and also the black are really dark that cannot be seen.

Great game, but it does get boring very quickly since there are very little planets and objects you can spawn. Also the "asteroids" don't look like asteroids, just brown spheres.

Like this game but here are some of the things would like to see in the game: 1. More planets 2. Black holes and neutron stars 3. Slow up time and speed up time 4. Savegame 5. Make asteroids look more like asteroids 6. Option of removing trails

What's new

- Increased touch radius for dragging planets
- Added proper credits
