Gravwell

One shot — aim, launch, and let gravity steer you into the ring.

Play to set a score, then submit it to the board.

How to play

  • Drag the launch pad, use the angle/power steppers, or the arrow keys to aim your probe.
  • Press Launch (or Space) to fire — after that, you only watch as the planets’ gravity curves the flight path.
  • Reach the target ring to win. Crash into a planet, fly off the board, or time out and the shot is wasted.
  • A close graze past a planet scores a bonus without ending the attempt — but drift too close and it is a crash.

Strategy & tips

  • Watch the dashed preview line while aiming — it shows exactly where gravity will carry the current angle and power.
  • A heavier planet bends the path more sharply from farther away — use that curve instead of fighting it with raw power.
  • Grazing a planet’s pull adds bonus points, so a trajectory that skims close (without crashing) beats a wide, safe miss.
  • Fewer shots to reach the ring score a bigger par bonus — a good first-attempt read beats trial and error.

FAQ

How do you play Gravwell?

Drag the launch pad or use the angle/power steppers (or arrow keys) to aim, then press Launch. Gravity from nearby planets bends the flight path after that — you cannot steer mid-flight.

What happens if I crash into a planet?

The probe is destroyed and that shot is wasted. You get a limited number of shots per difficulty, so a crash costs one of them.

What is a "graze"?

Flying close to a planet without colliding scores a graze bonus, since it means you read the gravity well correctly without playing it too safe.
