Gravity Well

<  GRAVITY WELL  >

Greetings [STAR DANCER], please consume the following brief:

PHASE 1: Accumulate mass from small bodies [WHITE]

PHASE 2: Once mass is sufficient (~50) acquire stable satellites [RED]

PHASE 3: Induce supernova in isolated targets [ORANGE]
SUB-NOTE: sacrificing a satellite is mandatory for phase 3,
consider voiding your mass at the perfect moment

PHASE 4: Engage with the star-spawn, they are friendly entities

PHASE 5+: Repeat process, you will be graded

NOTE:
For your continued safety, please do not allow your star to
collide with another stellar mass [RED]

STAR OPERATION GUIDE:
Mouse or WASD/Arrow Keys to move
Left Click or Space Bar to void all mass, generating score and releasing satellites
M to toggle music

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The intended play is to get a sort of tennis-like "rally" going:
Capture a red star, void mass to release it towards the target, supernova fills mass back to 99, capture star-spawn and fling it at the next target, etc.
A star-spawn improves with every supernova it creates, so take good care of it!

I didn't get a results screen done, but share your score in the comments!
My best so far is 187,000
