Gravity Well: Black Hole

Orbit a Black Hole. One touch. Pure Survival.

Visit apps.apple.com ↗Alternatives

What it does

Gravity Well is a one-touch space survival game where you orbit a black hole while dodging debris with EPIC soundtracks that make you feel like you're in a movie. Hold to pull inward. Release to drift out. Survive as long as you can. The black hole destabilizes everything as you survive longer—screen shake intensifies, debris accelerates, reality collapses. Every death is cinematic with slow-motion and shockwaves. Built by a solo indie dev. Available on iOS now, Android launching May 15th.

    Physically accurate black hole you can put in your roomJul 2026 · blackhole.plav.in · ▲477

    We have a black hole at home — with actual relativistic physics, live in your browser. I'm Sasha (Alexander) Plavin, an astrophysicist at Harvard's Black Hole Initiative studying quasars and black hole environments. I work with raytracing/radiative transfer simulations professionally, and wanted to make one anyone can play with — so I built this app. Put the black hole onto your screen (any browser), or directly into your room with AR or VR (requires WebXR, for example Chrome on Android, or any VR headset). When looking around, pay attention to unintuitive relativistic effects: rays…

    Gravity – Interactive solar-system simulator, from Newton to EinsteinJun 2026 · qunabu.github.io · ▲217

    Just for fun and self education, I've built this over a weekend to teach myself why orbits exist, not just show planets going around. Something that was never clearly explain to me in school. It opens with a guided tour that builds the idea up step by step: two bodies and the equal/opposite force, inertia (the Sun is removed and Earth just drifts straight), then "an orbit is falling and continuously missing," cosmic velocities with a little rocket, Voyager 1 & 2's real gravity assists (the clock runs the actual 1977–1989 dates so the planets orbit into their grand-tour alignment and the…

    Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
