[Free][Browser] Gravity Core — a 5-minute one-button gravity survival game (EN/Chinese, mobile-friendly)

Hi everyone!

I just released Gravity Core, a short portrait-mode survival game made for phones, playable free in the browser:

https://shaochhii.itch.io/gravity-core

The hook: you don't aim or shoot. Hold the button and a gravity centre locks two body-lengths toward the nearest enemy cluster — everything in range gets dragged inward. Release to detonate, and the blast chains outward up to two more times. Hold too long and it fires without you, and every shot costs a 4-second cooldown, so each pull is a commitment.

What's in it:
- One arena, three enemy types, six upgrades, three difficulty presets
- A 5-minute run with a clear win/lose loop and a local best score
- Every run has a seed code — enter the same code to reproduce the same run
- Fully offline: a single HTML file, no ads, no analytics, no network requests
- Bilingual (English by default, switch to Chinese in-game); works with touch or mouse

I'd love honest feedback especially on the core decision: does the hold-to-gather / release-to-detonate timing feel good, and is the chaining readable when things get crowded?

Thanks for playing!

Hi shaochhii,

I am an entry-level EN>PT-BR game translator building my portfolio. I would love to translate your game into Brazilian Portuguese completely for free, simply in exchange for my name in the official credits.

Brazil has a huge gaming community, and having the game in PT-BR could bring a lot of new players and downloads to your page. If you can send me the text files or the localization spreadsheet, I can get started right away and deliver it quickly.

Hey eduardovilla, 

Thanks for reaching out! Happy to have a Brazilian Portuguese version — that's a market I hadn't really thought about.

Before we dive into the translation, could you try the game and let me know what you think? It's free and runs right in your browser: 

https://shaochhii.itch.io/gravity-core

It's a 5-minute survival game — hold right side to pull enemies into a gravity well, release to detonate. Let me know how it feels on your phone, whether the UI makes sense, and any rough edges you notice. That'll give you a better sense of what you're translating, and I'd genuinely appreciate the feedback.

Once you've played it, I'll send over the full string list. It's compact — mostly button labels, upgrade names, and the victory screen. I'll credit you on the itch.io page and in the game's credits however you'd like.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

hi shaochii,

I've  tested the game, its a really good game to pass the time and I didn't run into any UI issues or notice any rough edges.

Thanks for giving it a shot — glad the hold-to-detonate loop clicked for you!


Happy to move forward with the PT-BR translation. Couple of quick things:


1. How would you like to be credited? Your itch.io handle works, or let me know if you prefer a different name / link.

2. What's a good email to send the string list to? I'll put together a simple sheet (English | Chinese original | your PT-BR) so it's easy to work through.


One heads-up: I can't push a new build this week — updates are locked for an ongoing voting period. But no rush on your end, you can translate at your own pace, and we'll ship the PT-BR version together once it reopens.


Talk soon!

I'm really glad to be part of the project. You can credit me under Brazilian Portuguese Localization or PT-BR Translation.

Name: Eduardo Vilar

If your credits  allows for links or social handles, it would be awesome if you could include my professional page as well: English to Portuguese translator specializing in computer technology and Eduardo Vilar — EN → PT-BR Game Localization

Hi Eduardo — just emailed you. I've set up a Google Sheet for the PT-BR strings (around 90 short ones, English | Chinese | blank column for you). Placeholders like {n} and {time} are marked in the notes.

I'll credit you as "Brazilian Portuguese Localization by Eduardo Vilar" on the itch.io page and in-game, with links to your ProZ and your site.

We're still in the Out of the Drawer Jam voting period, so build uploads are locked for now. As soon as that wraps, I'll add PT-BR alongside EN/ZH and send you the build link.

Take your time — ping me here or by email if anything's unclear.
