One tap stands between you and oblivion. Gravity Well is an addictive space survival arcade game built around a single mechanic — hold to pull your ship inward, release to drift out. Orbit a living, breathing black hole and survive as long as you can while deadly debris closes in from every direction. The longer you survive, the faster points stack. The closer you orbit, the faster you move — but one mistake and you're gone. Your phone vibrates as you approach the event horizon, warning you that you're running out of space. COMPETE GLOBALLY Climb the real-time leaderboard. See exactly who's one rank above you and hunt them down. Beat your personal best and feel it — the game flashes the moment you break your record. DAILY CHALLENGES Ten new challenges every day. Complete them all to unlock the Event Horizon Ship — a miniature black hole you pilot through space, the rarest cosmetic in the game and proof of a perfect day. UNLOCK SHIPS AND TRAILS Spend your earned points on 20 ships and 11 color palettes in the Hangar. Daily challenges unlock exclusive trails — the Halo Trail, Comet Tail, and Void Trail can't be bought with points. Earn them. THE PLANET EVENT Survive 60 seconds and witness a ringed planet drift into orbit, warp debris trajectories with its gravity, and get swallowed by the black hole in a slow cinematic explosion that clears the field and gives you a moment to breathe before the chaos resumes. FEATURES · Minimalist one-touch controls · Stunning animated black hole with real accretion disk physics · 6 powerups — Shield, Blaster, Time Warp, Singularity, Repulsor, Zero Gravity, Double Points · Global leaderboard with rival tracking · Daily challenge and reward system · Haptic feedback that intensifies as you approach the event horizon · Three original cinematic space music tracks · No ads. No pay to win. Pure skill. How long can you survive?
