Pendulum Goal - Casual Physics

Pendulum Goal is an interactive game that allows players to explore the physical behavior of pendulums on different planets. The objective is to dodge swinging pendulums that move according to the gravity of each stage (Earth, Moon, and Jupiter). Besides being a fun experience, the game also teaches physics concepts, such as the relationship between a pendulum’s period and length based on the gravity of each environment.

How to Play

• Objective: Avoid the pendulums while trying to score goals.

• Controls: The game is controlled with a single button to kick the ball.

• Gravity: The game offers three stages with varying gravitational forces:

  • Earth: g = 9.8 m/s²

  • Moon: g = 1.6 m/s²

  • Jupiter: g = 24.8 m/s²

• Change Language: Switch between Portuguese and English by clicking the button in the top-right corner.

Features

• Players control a ball in a runner-style game, dodging pendulums.

• Three stages are available, each with different gravity settings: Earth (g = 9.8 m/s²), Moon (g = 1.6 m/s²), and Jupiter (g = 24.8 m/s²).

• Each stage features high and low pendulums, showcasing the relationship between a pendulum’s length and its oscillation period.

• Physics concepts related to pendulum motion are displayed at the end of each stage.

• The game is fully controlled with a single on-screen button, ensuring a simple and accessible interaction design.
