Description

"Apps like Gravilux awaken an 'Avatar'-like sensitivity to electricity in the body, power in the palms and general connectedness." --New York Times
"Every once in a while, an app will come along that has no practical application whatsoever but is just SO COOL that you have to have it! Gravilux is that sort of app." --iphoneapplicationlist.com
"Of the millions of apps out there, none quite capitalize on the sheer fun and beauty of interactivity the way that Scott Snibbe’s do.” --CoolHunting

** #1 Entertainment App in Mac App Store worldwide ** Top Ten Overall Worldwide ** iTunes Top 10 App of the year for Art and Music on iOS **

Gravilux lets you draw with stars: it’s a combination of art, meditation, science, and zen relaxation. As you touch the screen, gravity draws simulated stars to your fingertips. You can tease and twist the particles into galaxies, explode them like a supernova, or color the stars by their speed. Move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to change parameters including gravity, antigravity, number of stars, star size, and color. Gravilux was first released as a work of interactive art by Scott Snibbe that was only available in galleries and museums. The award winning app for iOS is now available for Mac based on the same code.

Fun

Very simple program, with limited options, but still compelling.

I would like to see contols that let you alter the physiscs (e.g. add gravity, add spiral controls, add 3D, such as forming the plane on an orb, rather than a wrapping flat panel.)

Recomended.

It's kind of meh, not for everyone.

While it does what it says it does, and quickly. I got bored with it pretty quickly. You really need to decide if this fits your personality. Right now it is a bit of a one-trick pony. Audio response would be interesting, or a random mode (bouncing attractor, for instance) might add more life to this.

If you aren't a doodler, you might want to pass this one by. But if you are, it's not a bad price.

Pretty Neat

Fun to play with, but would be nice with some more configuration options, such a multi-coloured static images. I would rate this a 5-star app if you could save the images you create. Tried screen caps, but couldn't make it happen.

All in all its fun for a while, but boredom can set in farely quickly.
