Gravloop One orbit. Two rings. Zero mercy. Gravloop is a precision arcade game where you pilot a ship locked in perpetual orbit between an inner and outer ring. Tap to thrust outward. Release to fall back in. Catch gems. Dodge everything else. Simple to learn — genuinely hard to master. The longer you survive, the faster your orbit spins. What starts as a calm loop becomes a white-knuckle blur. HOW IT WORKS. Hold anywhere on screen to push your ship to the outer ring. Release and gravity pulls you back. Fly through gems to build your combo multiplier — chain enough together and you hit FEVER mode, where every gem is worth far more. Keep the chain alive. Don't get hit. 6 DISTINCT MODES • Classic Beat — The foundation. Surge events expand the rings and flood the zone with gems. • Hyper Orbit — Assault waves. Homing comets. Relentless from the start. • 60S Rush — One minute. Maximum score. Every hit costs you points. • Cosmic Abyss — Tiny inner ring, vast gap. Surgical precision required. • Zen Horizon — Gems only, no hazards. Pure flow state. • Celestial Siege — Destroy celestial bodies. Each one you clear grants a special power. UPGRADE YOUR PILOT Eight permanent skills grow across 30 levels and carry into every run: • Shield Regen — faster passive recovery between hits • Shield Lives — extra lives before it's over • Combo Armor — preserve your streak when you take a hit • Hot Start — begin each run with a head-start multiplier • Scoop Range — always-on gem pull that grows with the skill • Gem Bounty — multiply gem score value across all runs • Chrono Stability — longer power-up durations • Abyss Dampener — smoother control at high orbital speeds GEAR & COSMETICS Equip passive and active items — phase cloaks, pulse bombs, time crystals, void anchors — each changing how you play. Unlock 10 ship skins with distinct trail effects and unique hull geometry. COMPETE & PROGRESS • Game Center leaderboards for every mode + all-time global ranking • Daily challenges with bonus objectives • Weekly challenges and campaign missions • Trophy system with bronze, silver, and gold tiers • Daily streak rewards • XP and pilot level progression FEATURES • 120fps SpriteKit rendering • Combo milestone celebrations at x5, x10, x20, x30 • Live in-game stats — loops, gems, near misses • Haptic feedback tuned to every game event • iCloud-free — all progress saved locally No lives system. No energy timers. No paywalls on gameplay. Just you, two rings, and a ship that won't stop spinning. How long can you hold the orbit? You can trim the middle sections down if Apple's character limit is an issue — the first and last paragraphs are the most important to keep intact.
