Welcome to Gravity Slingshot, the ultimate space-physics puzzle game! You control a glowing neon planet adrift in a deep, minimalist galaxy. Your goal is to launch your planet and hit the target, but you have to navigate the gravitational pull of massive stars along the way! How to play: - Tap and drag your finger backward to pull your planet like a slingshot. - A glowing trajectory line will show you your path. Release to fling! - Watch out for the massive neon stars! Their gravity will bend the path of your planet. - Use the gravity to your advantage: curve your shots around obstacles and hit the glowing target. - Do not crash into the stars or fly off the screen, or it is GAME OVER! Features: - Incredibly smooth, custom-built gravity physics engine. - Satisfying slingshot mechanics with trajectory preview. - Beautiful, high-contrast neon graphics set in a dark space environment. - Endless, procedurally generated levels that challenge your aim. Can you master the physics of orbit? Download Gravity Slingshot now and launch into space!
