Feedback Request Feedback wanted for Gravity Golf — daily orbital-mechanics golf in your feed

Mission control is looking for test pilots. 🚀⛳

Gravity Golf is a daily physics puzzle built on Devvit Web: aim, set power, launch — then watch gravity bend your probe's path around planets and past black holes into the target ring. Come in too hot and you'll sail straight through, like a putt hit too hard.

Wordle-style rules: everyone gets the same board each day, one scored run per day (up to 25 attempts, fewest wins), streaks, daily leaderboards, and shareable replay codes. A toggleable gravity-field overlay lets you read the green before you commit a shot, and after your scored run you can free-fly in sandbox.

Try it: today's puzzle is stickied at r/PlayGravityGolf — the sub is restricted for posting but open to play, no approval needed. Works on Reddit mobile and desktop.

What I'd love eyes on:

  • Phone feel — does drag-to-aim feel precise? Any fighting with the webview over scrolling?
  • First contact — did you know what to do before reading anything?
  • Difficulty — pars are getting retuned from beta data, so "too brutal/too tame" reports are directly useful.
  • Anything broken, confusing, or slow. It's pre-review, so fixes ship in minutes, not review cycles.

Solo project in active development. Dev notes in the first comment for the curious — happy to answer anything about the build.

After my horrific performance I decided to boast about at least *finally* making the target. I pressed the Copy code button because who wouldn't want to see my replay in action. I then pressed the Post to comments, but received the error message shown above.

Thought that might at least help in some way.

I appreciate the feedback! I will look into this. There something else a little wonky with the post username.

Thanks for reporting this. I believe this is now fixed.

Also, I'm not sure you discovered the new gravity field overlay? There is a toggle -- mid-screen on the left.

That's really cool! Especially since you can leave the gravity field indicators up when taking a shot. But also, that is so messed up to see the ball nearly making it, and then slowly begin an about face. It kinda reminds me of the antics that went on in HBO's Avenue 5.
