"4 stars...anyone who misses Meteos would do well to pick this up...general puzzle fans might want to give it a go too." - TouchArcade.com
The puzzle-shooter genre is back!
In this fast paced puzzle-shooter mash-up, you are the captain of the defense force of Gravitas, a peaceful galaxy far away from Earth. One day a wormhole appears in the center of Gravitas and begins raining debris and trash into the atmosphere of the galaxy’s various planets. To defend against the invasion, you must match three or more of the same types of trash and launch them back into the wormhole. Hit the wormhole with enough debris to save each planet. Complete all 20 levels to eventually uncover the source of the wormhole and shut it down.
GAMEPLAY
- Move the falling blocks vertically around the board to match three or more of the same type horizontally or vertically and launch them into space.
- Beware of garbage blocks that cannot be matched. Clear enough blocks to save the planet before time runs out or before the trash and debris pile up and crushes you and the planet below.
- Launch matches vertically to fire blocks off the top of the screen to score against the wormhole. Clear enough blocks before time runs out to save the planet.
- Chain together matches to score combos and bonus points.
- Utilize power-ups like the Clear Bomb or Destruction Slam to clear trash and debris.
FEATURES
- Classic Mode: Complete 20 levels, each with their own unique environment, gravitational physics, and theme. Clear the target number of blocks before time runs out. Unlock additional levels, modes, and achievements.
- Quick Play Mode: Choose to play a single round of any cleared level but you can adjust the number of blocks, the difficulty level, and the time remaining.
- Two Player Mode: Play head-to-head against a friend locally or online. As you clear blocks, debris is dropped on your opponent.
- Marathon Mode: Clear as many blocks as you can before getting crushed. As you clear more blocks the game increases in difficulty. Compete with friends for the highest leaderboard score.
- Grav Lab Mode: Once you have completed all of the levels in Classic Mode, you can access the Gravity Lab where you build and play a custom level with unique planetary physics of your choice. Modify gravity, spawn rate, restitution, and more.
** Gravitas is available on both iPhone and iPad devices. The iPad version provides even more precise gameplay with support for the Apple Pencil.
⁉️💫🌙🪐Meteos Is Back?? Fun homage with good ideas that needs a little work!
Sweet N' Bitter
I played this with my boyfriend over a talk, both of us are huge fans of Meteos (a puzzle game that vanished too soon) and both play it. I saw article online about this and decided to look into it a bit more- imagine how shocked I was to see it was on App Store! (In a world where most apps with any actual love or effort in them end up on Android…)I gave this a quick shot and I will say this is rather fun! Very much feels like the spirit of Meteos (even its name after one of the planets I enjoy playing very much). It runs smoothly and has impact.I will say it could use a few adjustments- as it stands:Speeder - Meteos (and some other puzzle games) have the Speeder to drop more blocks onto your screen quickly, as well as land a stack that’s in the air to make another match after. I feel like having a speeder in this would add a whole new dimension to the game.Burning Blocks - The trash in this game takes a little too long to cool! In Meteos, all planets “trash” blocks turn back to normal at different rates per planet- but never being longer than at least 5 seconds. The blocks here take much too long to cool and without a speeder, it takes a long while to receive new blocks to make matches which in turn wastes time on the clock. Making blocks cool faster would be a benefit, or at least make it adjustable.More Options - The flashing of the screen when the round is over is rather distracting, and I can definitely see it being an actual hazard for some. Adding a “reduce flashing and effects” option or just any accessibility options would be a very good addition.Physics - The block physics are a little confusing. You can’t align a match when a stack lands in this game- and if you do it only sends up the match itself and not the stack. In Meteos, a big feature is adding to a match made to give it further ignition- making enough matches before you end up with too many burnt elements to get as many blocks off screen you can. It’s strange how it’s so restrictive in this game- combined with how long it takes for burnt trash to cool off to be used again- it would really help if you could make horizontal matches to add to part of the same stack like in Meteos.Music And Visuals - Already rather nice looking game- I hope you introduce more “skins” or backgrounds to use.And finally- this is for me personally:My favorite part of Meteos (besides the fun gameplay) are the little aliens! Seeing them vibe in the corner and get happy when you make a match, or worry when you’re close to losing! Maybe getting to see the different people of the planets you’re helping would make it a little more engaging. I know another Meteos-inspired game that have aliens- even having descriptions like the original games. With the planets already having different parameters for gravity I think it would give them further individuality if you could see the citizen or species your helping- you can get crazy creative with the designs too since well, they’re aliens!Finally: this game has a lot of clear potential and passion behind it. And respect for the game it’s inspired from. I’m looking forward to seeing more updates and for the game to grow from being inspired to an excellent puzzle experience for people who know Meteos and even people who don’t!💕💕💕💕💫💫💫🌙🌙🪐
Fun and Challenging

A similar concept to Tetris, this game is fun and challenging. The graphics are unique and give a lot of variety to the game.
Meh save your money

Very sloppy poor copy of the much superior original game of meteos for the DS, save your money
Simple but fun

It’s pretty much the same idea as Tetris or doctor mario, you have blocks and you want to get rid of them. I have so far had very few problems. The 1 on 1 with a friend is a really fun feature too! This is a great game to play while watching a show, waiting in line, or riding the bus and need something to help kill the time. No ads and a polished game with cool art work, very refreshing to see a game on the App Store with proper programming and polished features and nice graphics. Very much worth the money!
