indiePub has published an interview with independent game developer Jay Watts who created the game Solar 2.
From the interview article:
"'Instead of seeing stars in the background, shooting asteroids or living on planets, Solar 2 has you actually playing as stars, planets and asteroids,' Watts explained. 'It puts you into a vast physics sandbox universe with no boundaries where you can smash about or grow or whatever.'"
