Centrifugal

Centrifugal is a physics-based game about guiding a lost rocket back home through different star systems. You cannot rotate the rocket directly; instead, you control its gravity engine and use the gravitational pull of planets to turn and adjust its course.

Control the rocket

Hold Space to activate the gravity engine. The rocket accelerates, escapes gravity and flies in a straight line, letting you travel between planets. Release Space to switch the engine off and let planets capture the rocket in curved orbits, which you use to turn and change its trajectory. Larger planets exert more attraction, as do planets closer to the rocket. Gravity is the only operating physics law in the universe.

Travel through space

You travel through different star systems on the way home, avoiding meteors and black holes. The route includes the real-world constellations Lyra, Aquila, Cygnus, Big Dipper, part of Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor. You can also explore the infinite universe and see how far you can go.

Scores and multiplayer

Race through the finish line to earn the highest score you can, then use tokens earned from high scores to unlock rocket appearances. Local multiplayer lets two players control one rocket, with each player operating a different thruster, so they must work together.
