Osmos is exactly what MM said it is. It's pretty tough if you're impatient. I'm starting to realise that if I'm not certain it's worth trying to fit between those 2 larger gaseous masses then it's probably a really bad idea to try. The orbit-y levels are really cool.

The hardest orbital levels are just you, one attractor and about seven tiny motes. You fly halfway across the system to regain about half of the mass you spent.
The 'combat' levels are my favourites, where you're trying to absorb a competitor. Also the ones with lots of small, absorbable attractors. And the ones that you described where you're crammed inbetween giants like bubble wrap.
There are a few tricks that make everything a lot easier, like understanding that slowing your orbit makes it shrink, and the concept of 'leeching':
1. Shoot mass at mote larger than you
2. Mote is slowly pushed away
3. Mote gently collides with an even bigger mote, preferably quite close to its own size
4. Larger mote begins to absorb mass from the smaller one, the slower the better
5. Scurry in, wait until shrinking mote is just under your own size and absorb it
