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.
