Get amped up for a deep-space puzzle adventure experience like no other! Planet Surfer is the latest release from The Mascoteers and it’s all about quick wits, split-second decisions and rocket-ships - truly a match made in heaven! Interplanetary exploration is the name of the game - the further you travel through space, the higher your score becomes. The goal is to successfully jump from planet to planet before they are out of reach, avoiding obstacles in the way and doing so before the planet shrinks down to an unworkable size. Timing is key here and navigating your way through space junk, other rocket ships and ‘dead’ planets quickly becomes a challenge not every space adventurer is cut out for. Collect star fragments for analysis along the way and pick up extra points, but be careful because going after them in the wrong situation can cost you your life. Also keep in mind that you never know what the far reaches of the galaxy hold, so always be on guard for strange phenomenon. If you like a quick, intense fast-paced brand of smartphone apps, you’re going to love Planet Surfer! Download for free today and let the deep space fun begin!

About

Gravity Well

Features
Read full description

Gravity Well is a quiet puzzle game about collapsing stars into order. Tap a star to select it. Tap again to unleash its gravity — every smaller star within reach is drawn in, their mass absorbed. Chain merges to earn charges, then spend them on three strategic boosts: • Range — widen your gravitational reach • Rank — pull stars of your own class • Travel — jump your star across the sky to a smaller one Every level is a constellation with a puzzle hidden inside it. A star too large can't be touched. A star too small won't carry you forward. The solution lives in the order — and the reach. FEATURES • Seven hand-crafted tutorial levels that teach every mechanic • Dozens of generated puzzles with escalating difficulty • Three strategic boosts to master • Ambient cosmic soundscape • Works fully offline • No ads, no accounts, no trackers
