The drawing puzzle that's stealing your weekend

Gravity Painter is a free physics puzzle where every level is solved by your imagination. Draw a line, drop a ball, watch it find its way. Every solution is yours - there are hundreds of ways to beat each level.

The genre goes by several names - draw the line, ball and ramp, physics sandbox - and they all come down to the same thing: you supply the shape, gravity supplies the rest. Ink is limited, so the neat solution beats the big one, and no two people solve a level quite the same way. It works with a finger on a phone exactly as it does with a mouse.

Built for the browser. No downloads, no signups, no paywalls. Just you and the canvas.

Questions about Gravity Painter

How do I earn three stars?

Three separate things at once: collect every coin on the level, finish under the par time shown beneath the clock, and still have more than a fifth of your ink left. The ink bar has a marker at that point so you can aim for it.

How many levels are there?

44 hand-built levels, plus a new Daily Challenge generated fresh every day.

I ran out of ink. Do I have to restart?

No. Undo takes back your last stroke and refunds exactly what it cost, so trying a line out is not a permanent expense.

Why can I draw through the moving blocks?

That one is deliberate. Moving obstacles stop the ball but not your pen, so the puzzle is working out when the gap will be there rather than where you are allowed to draw.

Do I have to collect the coins?

No, coins are optional. Reaching the goal is always enough to finish and unlock the next level; the coins are one of the three star conditions.
