Place a moon, let go, and watch it fall into orbit around the planet you just made. Pocket Galaxy is a 3D gravity sandbox where realistic space physics meet total creative freedom. Spawn planets, stars and gas giants, place them in orbit, and watch a living solar system come to life. Then take it apart: heat worlds until they glow, freeze them solid, explode them, or smash two together. No levels, no timers, no pressure. The sandbox is the whole game, and nothing in it is on rails. What you can do • Build a universe from a huge variety of procedural planets, stars and gas giants • Simulate realistic gravity and orbital motion in an open 3D sandbox • Reach for cosmic tools: asteroid storms, solar rays, ice rays and explosions • Tune each planet's gravity, size and orbit, even give it repulsive gravity • Unlock new planet and star types as you experiment • Nurture a world until life begins, and follow it in the Planet Journal • Capture and share screenshots of your universe • Save and load your galaxies anytime Nudge an orbit and let gravity take over, engineer a perfectly balanced system, or wipe it out in a single collision. The sandbox is entirely yours. Free to download and play, with ads. An in-app purchase removes them. No account required, and it suits all ages.

About

Winterfall

Read full description

After a crash on a mountain road, Kuzey must find a way through a frozen valley. Staying warm is only the beginning. Explore snowy forests, mountain trails, and remote cabins from an isometric view. Follow a story about family, survival, and the bond formed with an injured companion. PREPARE FOR THE COLD Gather supplies and find shelter while managing warmth, hunger, thirst, health, and fatigue. Changing weather means every trip needs a plan. KEEP THE FIRE ALIVE Build campfires in suitable outdoor areas, cook food, melt snow, and return to shelter when the storm worsens. Wind affects exposed fires, so choose your location carefully. PLAN YOUR PACK Manage limited carrying capacity, prepare food and water, and repair worn clothing with the right materials. TRAVEL TOGETHER Help an injured animal and continue the journey together. Encounter wildlife that may threaten you, hunt, or compete for food. CHOOSE YOUR JOURNEY Progress through story mode or explore the valley freely in wilderness survival mode. Designed for portrait touch controls.
