Gravity Launch

Fantastic little app. Educational and fun. I think it's every bit as engaging as many of the so-called games I've downloaded. The only down side is that I'd like to try it on my iPhone too so I can take it with me.

What a fun & educational game!

Gravity Launch puts the dynamics of physics and space travel right at your fingertips.

With cool graphics and action, gamers get to experience the complexities of traveling through space.

A great way to mix gaming and education.

Good game

It's a fun simulation game. It's cool to see how changing launch points and thrust change your path. I wish the simulations ran a little slower so it was easier to see, but that's just me. The UI looks and feels like an older game, but most educational games aren't flashy, so that's the genre I suppose. But all in all, it's really fun. Good job, AAAS!

great app!

This is a really fun game. The easy levels were pretty easy but the intermediate and advanced games were challenging. I like being able to change the colors of the paths (black and red are my favorites).
