Mini Solar System
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Create and shape your own solar system; from the smallest asteroid to the largest star.
Mini Solar System is a real-time celestial simulation game in which you can mold and explore a solar system to your heart's content. Whether you decide to recreate our solar system or construct a system so alien that not even aliens would recognize it, this piece of space is entirely your own.
- Celestial Mode - Fly around your solar system and visit your planets from a first-person perspective.
- Overview Mode - Pause the simulation and edit any aspect of your solar system.
- Physics Simulation - All simulation is done in real time so everything unfolds right in front of your eyes.
- Procedural Generation - Terrestrial planets can be generated entirely procedurally.
- Source Code - The entire project is available from source on GitHub.

i cant find any thing to do and i can only find one planet
If you go into settings and then press done the settings will disappear but will still be there until you restart the game, really nice game I hope you continue updating the game!
i.... i think this is a virus. it just crashes when you try to make a world.
The world generation uses multithreading to generate the meshes of terrestrial planets, which I suspect is what may be causuing the issue. If you can send the crash log I would be more than happy to look into it.
As for the game being a virus, I can assure you that it is not. The entire game's source is available publically on my github for anyone to comb through.
So sorry, i forgot my itch login, I've gotten a new computer since. I'll try installing it again. Again; so sorry.
I've tried to launch a save, and i think it got stuck on the "generating planets" step. I'd try to send you the file; but i can't seem to find where it is.

Couldn't agree more
I was searching a game like this from years! Thanks!
one question, Can you land on planet?
While in theory, yes, but there is no dedicated way to land on a planet. Hope you enjoy it nonetheless :)
Thank you
can you yeet metors at planets?
Unfortunately, no. I did plan on doing this, but other features took priority during the game's development.
You can put an asteroid belt around a planet, but there is no collision so it would be kind of anticlimactic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
