So in terms of "game-play" - while it is fun to look at what happens if Earth's mass is increased to that of the Sun's, and to observe how two galaxies collide, if your imagination stops there - the fun factor and replayability pretty much stop right there too. Since this was developed, if i am not mistaken, by one guy - it is a little rough - graphics are not top-notch (not that it matters much in this case), collision and projectile physics are not there (again - programming those involves a lot and also will burden the processing power of the PC), no sound whatsoever (again - not necessary, but would be nice with some ambiance), and not sure if magnetic force is simulated either (again - would be an over-complicated model). Excellent software for school projects - pretty good algorithms (it seems) for simulating gravity and mass. I am not sure if anything like that was available to public before but it helps to visualize where we are in the universe. A very nice space-physics simulation sandbox.
