Solar 2 Review
Solar 2 is an interesting game. If you play flash games, you might have seem the type - absorb (or shoot and then absorb) other particles to get bigger (or the beginning of Spore).
Solar 2 is similar to this in a sense, but you start as an asteroid and grow into a planet by bumping other asteroids. You then absorb asteroids till you get life - which is useful and a nuisance, as you get a shield and ships that attack enemies, but they also destroy asteroids and planets when you don't want them to.
You can them grow into a sun, and absorb whole planets and suns.
While the description might make it sound lame, I very much enjoyed the gameplay. The graphics are beautiful, and the songs are OK, albeit repetitive (as a funny side note, the first song that came up when I switched to my MP3 player was Shivaree's Goodnight Moon - very adequate).
You also get some missions, such as protecting planets, cleaning asteroids and such. I didn't like these as much as the open play.
The tutorial deserves a comment - there were plenty of funny comments, specially regarding the demo.
Overall, very much recommended. There is also a demo available.
Update (13/Mar/2013) : I have written a short Solar 2 Android Review . Unfortunately, I really don't like the tiny graphics and the touch screen controls.
