Review: Gravity Sling Deluxe (iPhone)

Gravity Sling Deluxe Screen 1

Ever have that insatiable desire to fling your body across the chasm of space, and use planetary gravity to direct your spirograph-like pattern of flight safely to your awaiting shuttle? Well, with Gravity Sling Deluxe, you can now satisfy that craving. The basic concept here is that you must chose the starting direction and speed of your astronaut’s launch. Your path will be affected by the gravitational pull of nearby planets, with the effect being an elliptical, looping pattern of flight around the planets.

Gravity Sling Deluxe Screen 2

Your objective is to take the longest possible route collecting all the stars, all while still arriving safely at your space shuttle. The levels increase in difficulty with the arrangement of the planets relative to your shuttle’s location, and harder levels feature planets that move around the screen. With 109 featured levels in Gravity Sling Deluxe, you can get your fill of astronaut-slinging, inertia-based gameplay. Gravity Sling Deluxe also features multiple iPhone Achievements via OpenFeint. This game is highly addictive, and there is a lot of re-play value. In my opinion, it’s well worth your dime.
