    Shapes & Gravity: PocketGravity

    Quick, dirty, and simple, PocketGravity is yet another Web toy that's found its way to the Pocket PC. The game is built around building boxes and circles, joining them together with joints, and seeing how they behave under the effects of gravity.

    PG uses simple wire frame graphics, and the choice of only two shapes makes the game feel a little limited. However, it's still a neat idea for a freebie title. Probably the neatest feature is the gravity control, which consists of a slider and allows for negative gravity as well.

    Much like some of the other Web toys, PG doesn't really have any levels or any point other than just messing around, sort of like a digital sandbox. As such, it feels just a little underdeveloped. Speaking of that, I prefer the game called Sand (another Web toy ported to the Pocket PC) to this title, but PocketGravity still isn't bad for a free title.
