How to play Gravity Candy Hunt
Press the space bar, up arrow, W, or tap anywhere to flip gravity. That is the only control. Your character runs forward at a constant speed and falls toward whichever surface gravity currently points to. Flipping while already in mid-air is allowed and is the basis of most advanced play.
| Action | Controls |

| Flip gravity | Space, ↑, W, or tap anywhere |
| Pause or resume | P or Esc, or the Pause button |
| Restart | R, or the Restart button |

How to collect candy
- Candy Drops
- Gummies
- Sugar Crystals
- Chocolate
Floor and ceiling candy is collected by running over it after a flip. Candy floating in the middle of the corridor can only be reached by flipping twice in quick succession, which arrests your fall near the centre line. Sugar crystals are almost always placed centrally for exactly this reason, so they are effectively a test of the double-flip technique.
Obstacles and hazards
Spiked sugar formations grow from either the floor or the ceiling and end the run on contact. They are always placed on one surface at a time, so there is always a survivable side - the difficulty is that the safe side alternates faster as the run progresses. Crossing bars span the full corridor with a single gap, forcing you to be at a specific height at a specific moment.

Power-ups
Shield absorbs one spike contact. Sweet Multiplier doubles values for eight seconds. Candy Magnet extends collection range vertically, which effectively makes central candy reachable without a perfect double flip and is therefore the most forgiving pickup in the game.
- Candy MagnetAttracts nearby candy toward you, widening your effective collection radius for a limited time.
- Sweet MultiplierTemporarily multiplies the value of every collectible, stacking on top of your combo multiplier.
- ShieldAbsorbs exactly one hazard contact. What counts as a hazard varies by game and is stated on each game page.
- Sugar Speed BoostTemporarily increases movement speed. Genuinely a mixed blessing, since reaction windows shrink with it.
- Candy VacuumAutomatically collects nearby or on-screen candy without requiring you to travel to it.
Scoring
One point per metre travelled. Candy drops are worth five points, gummies twelve, chocolate twenty-five and sugar crystals sixty. Collecting a central sugar crystal with a double flip awards a technique bonus of one hundred points, which is the game scoring the skill it is built around directly.
Combo mechanics
Consecutive flips that each collect at least one candy build a gravity combo, one tier per four such flips to a maximum of five times. A flip that collects nothing drops a tier, which penalises panic flipping - the most common beginner habit and the main thing separating a thirty-second run from a three-minute one.
Difficulty
Gravity Candy Hunt is rated Hard relative to the rest of the Candy Arcade library. Difficulty on this site comes from level design, hazard density and timing windows rather than from degrading your controls, and the rating describes how demanding the execution is rather than how complicated the rules are.
The mechanics involved are: Gravity inversion, Automatic forward movement, Mid-air flips, Ceiling and floor candy, Momentum arrest. If this game is too demanding, the reflex & candy arcade games category page lists the easier games that use overlapping skills.
Features
- One-button gravity inversion with no horizontal control
- Candy placed on both surfaces and floating between them
- Mid-air flips that arrest a fall and allow central collection
- Corridor hazards that occupy one surface at a time
- A flip counter showing how economically you are playing
Tips for Gravity Candy Hunt
- Flip toward candy, not away from danger; panic flips that collect nothing cost a combo tier.
- Double flips arrest your fall near the centre line - this is the only way to reach central sugar crystals.
- Spikes never occupy both surfaces at once, so there is always a safe side to commit to.
- Crossing bars require you to be at a specific height, so start the flip before the bar is on screen.
- Candy Magnet makes central candy reachable without perfect technique - take it when your flip timing is shaky.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I control horizontal movement?
You do not. Your character runs forward automatically at a constant speed. Flipping gravity is the only input.
What is a double flip?
Two flips in quick succession while airborne. It arrests your fall near the centre of the corridor and is the only way to reach central candy.
Are spikes ever on both surfaces at once?
No. There is always a survivable surface. The challenge is how quickly the safe side alternates.
Why does my combo keep dropping?
Flips that collect no candy drop a combo tier. Flipping reactively rather than toward candy is the most common cause.
Is this game suitable for beginners?
It is rated Hard. The rules are simple but the timing is demanding - most players should try One-Tap Candy Collector or Candy Jump first.
