Gameplay:
The basic engine for this is a gravity demo I wrote for the DBP Coding Challenges some time ago. In each level, the player must destroy the enemy station by launching mines at it. This task is complicated by several factors, though: the craft can only carry a limited number of these advanced mines, nearby planets can pull the mines off-course with their gravitational fields, and the aliens have erected laser walls around much of the solar system that will deflect or destroy mines.
