The player controls a small blue spacecraft in a [[Planetary system|star system]] with several planets to explore. If the player moves their ship into a planet, they will be taken to a side-view landscape. Unlike many other shooting games, [[gravity]] plays a fair part in ''Gravitar'': the ship will be pulled slowly to the deadly star in the overworld, and downward in the side-view levels. Great precision is demanded of the player, as the ship rotates too slowly to allow a player to correct their mistake if they apply too much thrust and fly toward an obstacle. |

The player has five buttons: one each to rotate the ship left or right, one to shoot, one to activate the [[Rocket engine|thruster]], and one for both a [[tractor beam]] and force field. ''Gravitar'', ''[[Asteroids (video game)|Asteroids]]'', ''[[Asteroids Deluxe#Legacy|Asteroids Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Space Duel]]'' all used similar 5-button controlling systems. |
