New 3rd-person gameplay with camera behind the ship!
Now you don't just have to avoid crashing into walls, you also have to avoid scraping them with your wings! (Sorry!)
Uses full screen on all devices!
Improved graphics!
Optimizations!
Gyromaniac is a clever, tilt-based puzzle game that feels like a modern evolution of the classic 'labyrinth' toys. The use of the gyroscope is incredibly precise; there’s no input lag, which is essential for a game where a fraction of a degree determines whether you safely navigate a corner or fall into the abyss.
The level design is the real star here. It starts simple but quickly introduces gravity wells, shifting platforms, and narrow bridges that require steady hands and nerves of steel. The minimalist neon aesthetic is easy on the eyes and helps you focus on the physics. It’s a great example of a game that does one thing—tilt-based navigation—and does it exceptionally well.
High-precision gyroscope controls
Over 50 hand-crafted levels
Sleek neon-visual style
Time-trial leaderboards
Dynamic physical obstacles
Before starting a level, hold your device in a comfortable, flat position and tap 'Calibrate.' This ensures the ball remains stationary when you are holding the device level.
On long straightaways, tilting your device forward builds speed. However, remember to tilt back early before a turn to use 'engine braking' and avoid flying off the track.
No, Gyromaniac is designed specifically for gyroscope/tilt-based input to provide a true physical challenge.
Wow, I actually had to move around and orient myself. I found it strange at first, but then it became strangely addicting... I can't get enough of it...
Fun!!
