Gravity Crowd is an innovative physics-based puzzle game where players control the flow of colorful crowds through challenging levels by manipulating gravity and environmental elements to guide them safely to their destinations.
Game Overview
Gravity Crowd puts you in control of colorful character groups that move autonomously once released. Your task is to guide these characters to their designated endpoints by altering the environment and manipulating gravity. The game combines physics puzzles with crowd management, creating a unique challenge that tests your spatial reasoning and timing. With minimalist visuals but complex mechanics, Gravity Crowd offers a fresh take on the puzzle genre.
How to Play
Each level presents you with one or more groups of characters and corresponding colored goal areas. Once you release the characters, they move forward automatically, responding to gravity and environmental obstacles. Your job is to manipulate the direction of gravity and interactive elements in the environment to ensure the characters reach their correct destinations. The challenge increases as you need to manage multiple character groups simultaneously, often requiring precise timing and creative solutions.

Tips and Strategies
- Observe the level layout carefully before releasing characters
- Plan your gravity shifts in advance, especially for complex levels
- Sometimes splitting a crowd into smaller groups is necessary to solve a puzzle
- Use the environment to your advantage – walls can block, redirect, or separate crowds
- Perfect timing is often crucial – practice the sequence of your actions
- Don't be afraid to restart a level if your current approach isn't working
- Watch for environmental clues that hint at the intended solution
FAQ
How do I separate crowds of the same color?
Use obstacles, timed gravity shifts, or special divider elements to split crowds. Sometimes you need to separate a group temporarily to navigate different paths before reuniting them at the goal.
What happens if characters of different colors mix?
When different colored characters collide, they'll either pass through each other or bounce off depending on the specific game rules of that level. Use this behavior strategically to solve certain puzzles.
Are there any ways to control the characters directly?
The core mechanic is indirect control through gravity and environment manipulation. However, some levels introduce special power-ups that allow limited direct control over character movement or temporary ability changes.
How are levels scored in Gravity Crowd?
Levels are typically scored based on completion time, number of moves (gravity shifts), and percentage of characters successfully guided to their destinations. Perfect scores often require optimization of all three factors.
Can I create my own levels?
Yes! Gravity Crowd includes a level editor where you can design custom puzzles using all the elements from the main game. You can share these levels with friends or the broader community through the game's sharing platform.
