Star Shift: Gravity Match
About Star Shift: Gravity Match: Cosmic Puzzle Where Swipes Control Gravity
Star Shift: Gravity Match is a cosmic match-3 puzzle where every swipe you make determines the direction gravity pulls. Rather than gems always falling downward, each move you make sets the fall direction, so new gems fly in from the opposite edge and cascades shift with every decision. The result is a puzzle that rewards thinking about direction as much as color.
One scene shows a dark purple sky filled with small white and light blue dots of varying sizes against a deep blue gradient. In another view, the play grid holds red hearts, green diamonds, yellow stars, orange octagons, and blue circles waiting to be matched.
Across 450 levels spread over 45 worlds, the challenge scales steadily — MEDIUM difficulty levels appear every 5 levels and HARD levels every 10. Daily missions, challenges, weekly events, a seasonal Star Pass, avatars, and themes keep the experience varied day to day. The game is available in 8 languages on both desktop and mobile.
How to Play Star Shift: Gravity Match
Swap gems by swiping one or tapping two neighboring gems to exchange them, then line up 3 or more of the same kind to make a match. After the match resolves, all gems fall in the direction you swiped and fresh gems enter from the opposite edge — so your swap also shapes the next cascade.
Special Gems
- Comet: created by matching 4 gems in a line; clears an entire row or column
- Supernova: created by matching gems in an L or T shape; delivers a blast
- Black Hole: created by matching 5 gems; swallows every gem of one color
