Product description
-------------------
Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity is a game of 100 set-'em-up and
knock-'em-down puzzles, all based on the laws of physics. Players
construct devices from building blocks, levers, conduits, and
other parts. True to the title, most puzzles are solved by
harnessing the force of gravity, through a rolling ball, a
falling block, or other such event. Some puzzles have players
creating contraptions of Rube Goldberg-like complexity, although
many have more than one solution, and often the simplest works as
well as any. The Wii edition of the game also includes 20
"sandbox" levels, for player experimentation, as well as four
multiplayer mini-games.

A quirky, detailed puzzle game, Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity
for Nintendo DS packs all the fun of real, scientific
experimentation without requiring you to sit through any boring
intro-class lectures. You'll arrange objects, take advantage of
common gravitational effects, and learn from the unexpected as
you tackle a new endeavor on each level.

Professor Heinz Wolff is a charismatic scientist and a popular
star from the BBC's Great Egg Race.
100 Thought-Provoking Levels of Real Physics
Featuring the renowned German-British scientist often associated
with the BBC's Great Egg Race, Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity
offers 100 increasingly difficult levels capable of providing
challenges for puzzlers of all ages. Your big objective? Put
chain reactions and simple structures to work for you as you try
to press the button on each level. You'll find yourself rolling
balls, stacking bricks, and trying to transport glassy eyeballs
across the screen on funky wheeled carts. Of course, the biggest
factor is gauging the effects of the real, accurate physics
behind every movement.
Designed to Keep Puzzlers of All Abilities Busy
The fact that players can test and retest different
configurations makes this game a great introduction to
problem-solving for young scientists. But seasoned experimenters
are likely to enjoy it too, since they'll quickly get caught up
in trying to solve each problem in record time or with the
quirkiest series of events.
Whatever level player you are, if you get stuck, the game offers
you access to a bank of points that can be used to "buy" in-game
hints from the professor and jump-start your thought process.
And, just like real-world problems, the challenges in this game
can often be overcome in a variety of ways, allowing for creative
solutions to all kinds of conundrums.
Unique Backdrops, Experimental Sandboxes, and Head-to-Head
Intellectual Combat
This game also offers five unique sandboxes that allow for
experimental play and let you hone your deductive skills while
creating crazy reactions. And it includes three mini-games that
provide an arena for staging matches against friends, parents,
siblings, and classroom rivals for bragging rights and real-time
tests of your reasoning ability. Additionally, hand-painted
background art in bright colors adds a fun, slightly whimsical
feel to each screen, while atmospheric music helps ensure that
you stay immersed in the professor's physics-rich puzzle-solving
world.
