About Gravity Compass

Gravity Compass is a mental massage. You enter a spectacular universe where you fly through a gigantic system of caves. Otherworldly galaxies are everywhere to view in wonder. Sometimes when you look at a galaxy, the NovaWake composed music transforms, and the galaxies signal you with excited illuminations.
There are no hand held controllers to encumber your experience. Your flight is gentle and relaxing, because NovaWake Smooth Drive (TM) makes flying responsive yet comfortable. Be careful to remember any appointments you may have. Because, some people find Gravity Compass so relaxing, that they do not want to leave. A thirty minute flight, can seem to go by in a moment.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the music and atmospheric potential, but consistently criticize the experience as underwhelming and boring rather than genuinely relaxing. The main complaints center on limited interactivity, monotonous visuals (dull grey cave with repetitive colored areas), slow pacing, and lack of variety—with many suggesting the game feels more like an incomplete proof of concept than a finished product. While some find it acceptable for the low price, most feel it needs substantial additions like more visual detail, interactions, varied environments, and additional songs to justify the r

This is horribly disappointing. It's not especially soothing or good for meditation. It's actually pretty boring. There's nothing to do in this game except float through a cave, stare at some galaxy-type things that are also in the cave, and listen to the music. It moves pitifully slow, and you can stare at an option to speed up, but that only lasts for a second or two. If this was early access and they were going to add in more things to do, more songs, maybe a series of cave tunnels to explore with different themes to the music, maybe this might be worth it. If gravity compass is supposed to be a mental massage, it rubs me the wrong way. It's more like a sedative, not that it's relaxing but that it's boring and dark and you could probably float into a corner of the cave and have the music stop completely and so it'd be dark and quiet enough to actually sleep. That's not a compliment... They claim a "30 minute flight could go by in a moment" but seriously, there's not even enough to see to take up 30 minutes and the only way you could spend that long is if you DID fall asleep. I know it's only $3 and hey, what do you expect for $3? I expect a game that lasts more tha…

Saw the video and pics on the store page? Congrats, you're done! A few light particles and touch of music, thats it. Improvement suggestions: - tone down the focus bloom a bunch. It's just washing out the visuals. - Add visual details as you close more as you pass though - Add some interactions or at least visual variation. -- Even a few basic things like streamers, follow the particle, collisions, etc would bring the value closer to the (low) price

Well, it's what you pay for so they say. For the price it's okay. Nothing special. Graphics are, "meh". Music is okay, and I get the whole premise of relaxation and all of that but most of us are looking for spectacular graphics, imagery and immersery. This is merely a tiny taste of what it could be. For the price? Again, it's okay. Just don't expect a masterpiece on a beer budget.

NOT RELAXING: You have a white dot center of the screen at all times. The cave is dark and you feel confined. Often the music ends and you have to navigate to the music. Often you reach the sides and the screen flips around to center you. The cave itself is dull and needs color, dripping water, anything besides grey. This needs dancing light not just moving white dots. Colors don't change or move. You just travel through a grey cave to a few colored areas that all rotate clockwise. I grew tired of traveling from the purple area to the blue area to then what, I guess travel to the yellow again. I care not for the $3 spent but I did want to relax. This did not relax me.
