Gravity Swing -Orbit Puzzle-

A straight shot will never reach the goal. Gravity Swing is a physics puzzle where all you do is pull the pod back and let go. Planets lie ahead, and their gravity bends your flight path. Read the curve, or use it, and reach the goal flag.

■ How to play

Drag the pod with your finger and release. That's it. The direction you pull sets the angle; the distance you pull sets the power.

While the pod is in flight, hold anywhere on the screen to fast-forward. When you want to close in on a precise aim, you can dial in the exact angle and power with the fine-tuning controls.

■ The longer the way around, the higher the score

Your score comes from the distance you fly. Hitting the goal by the shortest line won't earn much.

Points peak when you swing wide around a planet, slip through a wormhole, and arrive the long way. The real game starts the moment you clear a stage and think, "Could I have gone around wider?"

■ What's inside

- 100 stages in the main campaign (more to come)
- 5 kinds of planets, each with its own strength of gravity
- Wormholes. Enter one side and you come out the other
- 20 attempts per stage. Run out and you can watch an ad to reset them (or start over from stage 1 without watching one)

■ Build your own stages

Place planets and wormholes in the editor to build stages of your own. You can check on the spot whether a stage is really solvable.

Hand your stages to other people with a QR code. They just scan it with their camera. Nothing goes through a server, so you can trade stages face to face. (Sharing also lets you send them to people farther away.)

■ Ranking and records

Your rank is decided by the highest total you have built up. The number of stages you have cleared is shown as well.

Your own best record for each stage is kept too, so you can come back later and look for an even bigger orbit.

■ Carrying your data over

Link a Google account and your records, your progress, and the stages you have built carry over to a new device. Linking is optional, and every feature works without it.

■ About purchases and ads

- When you run out of attempts, you can watch a video ad to keep going. Watching is optional. You can always start over from stage 1 and play on. (On a stage you have already cleared, you can replay the shot that earned your best score, which works as a quick way to skip ahead.)
- There are in-app purchases: unlimited attempts (a one-time purchase) and extra fine-tuning uses. You can play the whole main campaign without buying anything.
