Putt a ball between planets whose gravity bends every shot, and sink it on a tiny red target in few strokes.
Gravity Golf turns mini golf into a puzzle about orbits. Your ball floats among several planets, and each one pulls on it. You aim, choose a strength and let go, trying to bring the ball onto a tiny red marker with the fewest strokes you can.
There are no hills or sand traps here. The obstacles are the planets themselves, since their gravity bends every shot into a curve. Luckily, you get to see that curve before you commit.
How a hole plays out
At the start of a hole, the ball shows up in empty space and drifts until it comes to rest on a planet. Watch its outline. White means it is still moving, and yellow means it’s ready for you.
To shoot, hold down the button or your finger anywhere in the playing area. Then slide your pointer toward the spot you are aiming for. The farther the pointer sits from the ball, the more power you put behind it. Release to take the stroke, and the counter in the corner ticks up.
A trail of dots appears while you hold. It traces the whole flight, including every bend and bounce, right up until the ball would stop. Move the pointer and the dots update instantly.
Physics worth knowing
Larger planets have a stronger pull, so they bend paths the most. The ball slows a bit each time it bounces, and once it is moving slowly enough it settles in place.
If you send the ball off into the void, the game has a safety net. When it drifts far off screen or stays in the air for 20 seconds, it is returned to where you hit it from. That stroke still counts against you, though.
Strategy notes
Before releasing, sweep the pointer slowly in a small circle and watch how the dotted trail reacts. Tiny shifts can turn a miss into a hit.
Gentle shots are usually the smart choice. A soft tap that settles on a nearby planet can leave you an easy finish, while a hard blast may whip around a big world in a way you didn’t expect. Bounces are also fair game, so a short hop that skips off one planet before rolling to the target can be simpler than a long, straight flight.
Finally, notice which side of its planet the red marker is on. Plan to arrive on that side so you do not land on the far side and need an extra stroke.
Who it suits
This one is for players who enjoy calm, thinking-based puzzles over quick reflexes. Each hole is short, and the layouts keep changing, so it works for a few minutes or a longer session.
Controls
| Action | Mouse | Touch |
|---|---|---|
| Aim and set power | Press and hold, then move toward where the ball should go; farther from the ball is harder | Touch and drag the same way |
| Take the shot | Release the button | Lift your finger |
Gravity Golf FAQ
Can I play Gravity Golf on a phone or Chromebook?
Mostly. A Chromebook or any computer with a mouse or trackpad works well. Touch screens also work, but the ball and target are drawn very small, so turn a phone sideways at the least. A tablet or full-screen mode is much more comfortable.
How do I finish a hole?
Get the ball to touch the small red marker sitting on one of the planets. It counts the moment they touch, even if the ball is still bouncing. Your stroke total shows briefly, then the next layout appears.
Does the game get harder?
Yes. The opening hole has three planets, and every later hole brings in an extra planet. Planet sizes, positions and the target spot are random every time, so no two holes play the same way.
Is it a one-player game?
Yes. It is a solo game where you work through holes one after another, trying to keep your stroke count low. There are no opponents to wait for, so you can play at your own pace.
