It takes forever to load (1 minute?) but it's fun.
Are you simulating real gravity or some quick method that consider the closest planet?

In terms of gravity, I actually recall this was a team debate. The original design was to use real gravity but the team thought it was simpler to have discrete areas of influence. We never really had time to A/B test it. Kerbal Space Program uses a similar model.

About your game, three feature request:
* I'm not sure if it's a good idea to start the first game with so many weapons. I understand it's more fun, but not knowing what they do and the cost is confusing.
* In the weapon buying screen, it would be nice to have a visual representation of the explosion. (This looks like a very hard change. I'm not sure if you are going to add more features.)
* In the weapon buying screen, I prefer that the list is not cyclic, i.e. if I click down it stops when the list ends instead of cycling to the more expensive weapons again.
