[Friday Flash Fun] Gravity Pods, a physics-based shooter/puzzle where you use special gravity pods and repellers to alter the course of a projectile and avoid barriers to hit a target.

Damn you, I successfully avoided addiction to this when it appeared on jayisgames. Now what do I do?

Why do I love gravity based games so much?

Level 13 annoyed me.

I got to 15. Then I just ran out of steam.

I hit some button and the turret starting spinning uncontrollably faster and faster.

I think my browser went back in time.

Muddler, I had the same problem. WTF?

Level 35 is annoying me.

I pressed up to move the turret and it got stuck moving, but pressing down stopped it.

Also, I got level 15 in one shot.

Got to level 35 and had to quit. There's this stuff called "work" all over my desk...

Oh I'm a sucker for gravity-based games!

Long live the spaced penguin!

40. Gag.

40 is really obnoxious, but once you get it they're really easy again until about 47 or so.

If you place a thingy, and then click and hold it, you can move it around after you launch your shot. Pretty neat.

This is pretty cool. Old school graphics too. Love it.

Am I only the one who can't figure out how to get the thing started? I'm stuck at "Start by choosing a level." I can move the thingy up and down with the keyboard, but nothing else happens.

Oh, never mind, the window size obscured the 'level 1' button.

After 45 minutes I give up on level 15. Screenshot, anyone, please, for my sanity.

I decided level 15 was the last level, and I should play around with the two gravity generators to make pretty orbit patterns.

FWIW, when I finally solved 35 I was thrown back to lvl 1. And I'm not going through this hell again.
