The gameplay features a variety of mechanics centered around orbital physics, allowing players to control multiple moons and interact with asteroids, which adds depth and variety across the nine planets, including Pluto. While the controls are functional, they can be challenging due to the game's gravity mechanics, and the inclusion of lengthy, unamusing jokes can detract from the learning experience. Overall, the game is praised for its clean design and smooth graphics, making it visually appealing despite some frustrations with the gameplay.
