Thread the gate. Beat gravity.

1. Your goal: launch probes from the pad (the cyan dot at the bottom) and fly them through a capture gate along the top edge to win stake × that gate's multiplier.
2. Gravity bends your shot. The glowing planets pull your probe. You don't aim straight at a gate — you aim so gravity curves you into it. Whip around a planet for a gravity-assist slingshot.
3. Read the gates. Each gate shows its multiplier at the top. Wide gates = low pay, easy. Narrow gates = high pay, hard.
4. Aim & preview. Drag on the field (or use the Angle/Power sliders). The dotted arc predicts the path. When it reads "predicted: gate N · X×" you're lined up. A hidden solar wind nudges the real shot — leave margin, don't aim at a gate's edge.
5. Launch & outcomes. Thread a gate → win. Hit a planet → crash (lose that probe). Fly off the sides or miss every gate → lost (0).
6. Bank it. You get 5 probes per round (each costs your stake; unused ones refund). When you're done, hit “Finish & bank” to cash out your winnings.

💡 Pro tip: the safe ~1× gates barely beat the house. The real money is in routing a gravity-assist into a narrow high-multiplier gate — that's the skill.
