About

Gravity Well

Features
Read full description

Gravity Well is a quiet puzzle game about collapsing stars into order. Tap a star to select it. Tap again to unleash its gravity — every smaller star within reach is drawn in, their mass absorbed. Chain merges to earn charges, then spend them on three strategic boosts: • Range — widen your gravitational reach • Rank — pull stars of your own class • Travel — jump your star across the sky to a smaller one Every level is a constellation with a puzzle hidden inside it. A star too large can't be touched. A star too small won't carry you forward. The solution lives in the order — and the reach. FEATURES • Seven hand-crafted tutorial levels that teach every mechanic • Dozens of generated puzzles with escalating difficulty • Three strategic boosts to master • Ambient cosmic soundscape • Works fully offline • No ads, no accounts, no trackers
