8 Planets

You control a small cannon fixed at the center of the screen, using your mouse to aim and clicking to fire colored orbs. The main objective is to stop the encroaching chain of colored planets from reaching the center by matching three or more of the same color. The mechanics are familiar; you can create matches to clear sections of the chain, and sometimes a well-placed shot will cause a satisfying cascade of eliminations. The pace starts calmly but builds tension as the chain spirals inward more quickly, demanding quicker decisions. It feels like a focused, almost meditative puzzle where your attention is entirely on that one spinning track and the next shot you need to make.
