Super Planet Crash
Super Planet Crash is a game where you can create a planetary system that lasts for 500 years. You can add up to ten planets, choosing from types like Earth, Super-Earth, Ice giant, Giant planet, Brown dwarf, or Dwarf star. Each planet is attracted to the central star and to other planets. Points are awarded based on the stability of your system.
