Gameplay
Gameplay
No Gravity is a 3D space shooter that allows players to pilot a spaceship from either a first-person or third-person perspective. The game features pre-designed missions that are divided into multiple sectors. Each sector has specific objectives, such as destroying enemy ships or bases, escorting allied ships, or clearing minefields. Upon completing the objectives within a sector, the player must navigate their ship to an object called a "navpoint," similar to the navigation system in the Wing Commander series. Reaching the navpoint transitions the player to the next sector. In the final sector of a mission, a wormhole appears, signaling the end of the level. After completing a mission, a debrief screen displays the mission duration, score, shooting accuracy, and a ranking based on the player's hit-to-shot ratio. The mobile versions of No Gravity include additional control options, leveraging touch and accelerometer gyroscope functionality for ship maneuvering. On-screen controls are also provided, offering an alternative way to navigate and control the ship.
