  Have you always wanted to be a celestial object? In this interesting take on the "grow bigger" genre you finally can. You begin as a smallest of asteroids and have to hit other asteroids to grow in mass and avoid marauding space ships and anything too much larger in the process. You move with arrows or ASDW (I used keyboard) in a 2D universe, while everything else is dictated by gravity. At some point you will grow into a planet. This changes mechanics: no longer will you try to hit stuff but instead try to make asteroids orbit your piece of rock, after which you can absorb them. Mechanics are different for each phase: asteroid, planet, star and black hole. Planet phase is separated into regular and life planets (all with shields, planetary cannons and spaceships). Orbiting is pseudophysical: that is, not real physics at all. The objects will actually be attached to the orbiting system. You should know that this is not a real physics simulator, so this is totally fine. This makes for some truly bizarre possibilities: you can form multi-star ring systems with ridiculous numbers of stars and yet have aggressively orientated fully evolved killer planets orbiting the system. Story and achievements provide some 10-20 hours of playtime within three missions and 2-3 challenge mini games for each phase and finally a boss fight. They often make clever use of the game's physics and mechanics. You can also stop anytime you want and the cloud will make sure you can continue from where you left, or if you'd like to, from somewhere entirely different. Playing is very enjoyable and the only time I remember it getting tedious was when I grinded my way to 40 stars supersystem. Fortunately, you can save your favourite configurations (like that one with super-multistar megasystem) to be loaded any number of times again (handy for achievements) and play with physics options if regular pseudophysics gets boring. Once you're done with the universe simply grow your planet-eating super-heavy neutron star into an all-devouring black hole and consume the world in a Big Crunch. A fitting end to a crazy little game.

  You're in space. You're a rock in space. Bump into more rocks to become bigger rock, become a rock with little people on it, avoid letting rocks pelt your planet and avoid bringing the race to extintion long enough for your little planet to develope self defence, become bigger, explode into a star killing an entire life system on your planet and then become a solar system. In space. With more planets with more self defence. Grow your star untill it evolves, explodes, and devours space. Space.

  I remember playing this a decade ago on my tablet. I had so much fun going through the galaxy and seeing what this had to offer. It is a sandbox game with missions for those who want to have more to do. I wish there was a bit more, but it is perfect already.

  Possibly the smallest game I own, but it packs a bigger punch than that. Solar 2's main strength is that you can play at your own pace, with your own goals, and that leads to a good few hours that you can spend just bumbling around in space and figuring out what you fancy doing. Going from a tiny asteroid to a black hole? Staying as a solo planet and building up a small armada of ships? Just flying around like a lunatic smashing into stuff and dying repeatedly? All viable playstyles. If you want more structure, the story and challenge missions offer a good balance between fun and difficulty, and add considerable longevity to the game. The general idea is to work your way up the planetary body hierarchy - from diminutive asteroid through to planets, stars, star systems and eventually nature's biggest vaccuum cleaner. There are individual missions for each stage of being, some of them simple, others very difficult. I have yet to witness another game that lets you play as the stage itself at a rock concert. For a little indie title, there's a surprising amount to do, and while it could perhaps get a little samey after beating everything the game has to offer, there are physics options that you can use to craft a more creative playing experience - like mass space dogfights between hundreds of ships, for instance. Or, you could just let the cool ambience of the game float you away on a paradoxical vaccuum breeze...

  So relaxing and pretty i use to play this in small amounts after getting home from work to listen to the music and enjoy the colors. One of my friends talked me into buying it when it was cheap and i never had a regret.

  Solar 2 was one of my favorite Xbox Live Arcade games. The delicate dance you do to capture asteroids and build them up into planets and then stars. The careful cultivation of life-bearing worlds in order to field an army. The brutal billiards game that breaks out when you have to take the gloves off and forcibly rearrange the stars. The ever-present effects of gravity, always reshaping the playing field under your feet. And all of this accompanied by a really excellent, chill soundtrack. Back in the day, it took me a long time to work my way through the quests because they all demand that you master the orbital mechanics. Now that I can play on my laptop, I blew through them all in just a day or two. I think that's not because the game is overly easy, but because I've never really forgotten the experience of playing it all those years ago.

  [h1]A fun, orbital physics toybox[/h1] It nails down "simple mechanics with plenty of depth". It's a relaxing, casual but very enjoyable game. [h1]What's the gameplay?[/h1] In Solar 2, you are a self-propelled astronomical body. You start as an asteroid and grow yourself - by absorbing stuff - into a lifeless planet, life planet (with tiny attack ships protecting it!), small / medium / big star with planets orbiting you, all the way to a black hole. Basically all you have is WASD (or analog stick) + a variety of absorb keys. [h1]What's the objective?[/h1] It's a non-linear game. There is a story mode with missions, and there are challenge missions, but you can choose to ignore it all and play freely, as a toybox. And when you're ready you can choose from a choice of several missions to do. You can even save your state (whether you're a star, how many planets you have, etc) and respawn into it at any time while continuing to play. [h1]What's the fun?[/h1] If you're into this kinda stuff - and I am, big time - you can enjoy toying with how gravitational forces interact with and overpower each other. Like I said, it plays very simply: all you have is WASD (or analog stick) + a variety of absorb keys. Where the depth and complexity comes is in how you choose to play: you can go hard and fast, always absorbing more and more, or choose to grow an elaborate solar system and carefully nurture it. Your orbiting planets will each go through their own upgrade path too; you'll see them grow shields around them, erect space guns and launch tiny patrol ships, and pull asteroids to orbit them. Given enough time, they will become stars too. You can have binary stars in the center, even three stars. I was mentioning toying with gravity and carefully nurturing your objects. This is because you have to hunt down space objects, slowly pulling them in without letting them crash into you, until they get caught in your gravity and start orbiting you. Only then can you absorb (or keep) them. This is easy when you only control one object (whether a planet or star) but becomes more and more complex as your system grows. When you are a star with 5 or 6 planets orbiting it, and you want to grow one of these planets into a star itself, you'll soon be playing ballet with the objects you want to hook, pirouetting around each other, keeping in mind all the objects of your system lest one of them overpower your target with its gravity and send it crashing. It's really neat. Oh and the combat: you'll run across other solar systems, some bigger than yours, and your ships will seek each other out and start fighting their tiny battles. As for you, you can basically swing your orbiting planets like a flail and batter at your enemy, whittling down its planets (and yours). You may stand a chance against smaller systems, eventually absorbing all its objects into you. Against a larger system, it's kind of impossible. [h1]Let me mention the music.[/h1] I listened to Solar 2's soundtrack long before I ever played the game. It is MARVELOUS. You will love listening to it. Some reviews are saying that 10$ is too much for this game, but I consider the soundtrack makes the price worth it, along with the gameplay of course.
