Zero-G Rush Runner: a close look, tips and whether it is worth your time

If you enjoy short sessions that are hard to walk away from, give this one a look. Below is everything you need before the first launch: the gist, the controls and some working techniques.

What this game is

Zero-G Rush is a gravity runner in open space. Your ship hurtles forward on its own while a field of planets surrounds it. Every planet is a gravity well: it pulls the ship toward itself and bends your course, so a straight line turns into an arc in an instant. Your only tool is the tap — it fires an upward thrust impulse. Tap in rhythm to keep the ship airborne, sweep around planets on graceful arcs, and avoid sideswiping them.
