Planets Plus is a higher-order version of the Planets puzzle, produced by Recent Toys. This higher-order version nicely demonstrates how Planets balls can be stacked, as opposite to every crater, there is a non-crater, and vice versa. Unfortunately, the puzzle has a fatal flaw. It cannot be scrambled. Only two balls have enough freedom to turn, but not enough to allow other balls to turn. Therefore it is classified as Miscellaneous stuff.
