Gravity 80s

Features
Read full description

Gravity Dot is a space physics puzzle game where you pilot a tiny dot-ship through procedurally generated solar systems using only planetary gravity and a limited fuel thruster. No waypoints. No autopilot. Just you, inertia, and gravity. ARCADE MODE Progress through increasingly complex solar systems. Use swing-by maneuvers to navigate around planets, avoid black holes, and reach the target star. Drain its energy to clear the mission, then spend earned energy on upgrades at the Hangar. 3 lives per run — one wrong orbit and it's game over. ENDLESS MODE Explore an infinite universe with no fuel limits. Absorb energy from any planet for score and drift as far as you can. Unlocked after clearing Mission 5. HOW TO PLAY - Drag anywhere to aim your thruster - Hold to accelerate — fuel is limited, use it wisely - Release to coast on inertia - Use planetary gravity to slingshot, brake, and change direction - Pinch to zoom in and out FEATURES - Real swing-by physics powered by a custom Velocity Verlet engine - 300+ real celestial bodies from astronomical catalogs - 17 procedural planet shaders — gas giants, ice worlds, lava planets, black holes, and more - 4 distinct map layouts — solar system, corridor, cluster, and dual core - 6-category upgrade system with 10 levels each - Rogue planets and binary moons at higher levels - Real-time orbit prediction line - Planet scan HUD identifying nearby celestial bodies - Full planet catalog tracking every encounter - All sound effects and ambient music synthesized at runtime — zero audio files - Retro pixel art visuals - Game Center leaderboards No ads. No in-app purchases. Just pure space physics.

Enter Gridflare, a neon strategy puzzle where every placement matters. Arrange colorful pieces on an 8x8 grid, complete rows and columns, and build consecutive clears into high-scoring combos. PLAN EVERY MOVE Drag one of three available pieces onto the board. Completed rows and columns disappear, creating room for your next move. The run ends when none of the remaining pieces fit, so careful planning is the key to a lasting score. A DISTINCTIVE NEON ARCADE Gridflare surrounds the board with a dark cyber-inspired interface, glowing cyan and magenta highlights, animated particles, responsive haptics, and an original synth soundtrack. Clear multiple lines to fill the screen with colorful score and combo effects.
