Does anyone remember the flash game, Spaced Pengin (http://www.onemorelevel.com/games/spacedpenguin.html), by Big Ideas? It's like a predecessor to Angry Birds Space.

I'm wondering what method is used to simulate the gravity in the game. When there is only one planet, the gravity is obviously calculated in the traditional way. However, when there are multiple planets, the gravity in the game acts rather oddly. This is by no means a flaw, as it is essential to the game. Level 5 is the first place this effect can be witnessed.

Does anyone have any idea what method is used to simulate the gravity in this game, especially in the context of multiple planets?
