Designed by Simple Tools, a team comprised of professional developers and non-developers, Gravity Academy is a physical card game that truly comes to life when played with its accompanying companion app for touchscreens, browsers, and PCs.
The game is set in a 1950’s sci-fi vision of what a school in the future might look like, with Students competing with one another to receive Commendations in subjects such as Cosmosports and Rocket Science.
Gravity Academy is played with a custom set of cards with gorgeous retro futuristic art, available as a printable PDF, but it can also be enjoyed with a regular deck of playing cards instead.
