Orbitunes

Orbitunes is a free-form, physics-based music generation toy.

Launch asteroids around a dense star and put them into orbit. Your space rocks have some unusual reactions to the mysterious star, causing them to glow and emit sound. Experiment with different asteroids and orbit patterns to create your own music!

No actual goal or objective, just slingshot asteroids to your heart's content!
