GOOGLE PLAY // FULL BUILD
Delta-V for Android is the gravity-flight game installed on your phone: real orbital physics, a fuel budget that never forgives, and a salvage economy that pays for the ship you wish you had. It is free on Google Play, plays entirely offline, needs no account to start, and runs on Android 7.0 and later.
The browser build is free too and needs no install — it is this same game in a tab, if you would rather fly it before you commit any storage.
Every body pulls, all the time.
There is no invisible rail holding your ship on course. Each planet and moon on the map applies a real force, so the shape of your flight is the sum of what you burned and what the map did to you afterwards. Fall past a moon at the right angle and it hands you speed for free. Misjudge the periapsis by a few hundred metres and you become part of the surface.
Delta-v is the only currency that matters.
The tank is finite and it does not refill between manoeuvres. Getting somewhere is the easy half; getting somewhere with enough left to stop is the game. Canisters on the route buy you options, boost spends them faster, and a punctured tank bleeds the whole flight. Every level is really one question: can you afford the arrival?
The Kessler belt pays, if you can leave it.
Debris fields hold plating, canisters and parts worth hauling home, and recovering them funds the garage: better thrusters, lighter hulls, gravity plating that lets a heavy ship dance. Some of it is worth exactly what it costs to reach. Some of it is worth leaving precisely where it is, which you find out on the way back out.
Four frames from the build that is on Google Play right now, captured from the signed release bundle rather than a dev server. Nothing is mocked up and nothing is retouched.

CAP-04Free to install, free to finish. Ads are opt-in — you choose to watch one for a reward — and nothing interrupts a flight. Optional purchases remove the menu banners and stock the workshop.
The browser build keeps its save in that browser. Installing the app does not import it, so treat the install as a clean start.
The game itself is identical in both places. These are the parts a browser tab cannot give you.
Delta-V is free to install from Google Play. It carries advertising: banners on the menus, and rewarded ads you can choose to watch in exchange for currency. There are no forced full-screen ads during a flight — nothing interrupts you mid-burn. A one-off purchase removes advertising entirely, on the site as well as in the app, and other optional purchases add cosmetic and workshop items.
Delta-V runs on Android 7.0 (API level 24) and newer, on phones and tablets, in portrait or landscape.
Yes. The same build runs free in any modern browser on the Play page of this site — it is the whole game rather than a demo, so nothing is held back for the install. Its save stays in that browser, and the opt-in rewards and purchases need the Android app.
Yes. The Android build plays offline end to end. A connection is only used for optional extras such as rewarded ads and linking your save to a Google account.
Not by itself. The browser build saves to that browser's storage and the Android build saves on the device, so installing the app imports nothing. Delta-V does offer an optional Google account link for a cloud save, which is the only path that moves progress between them — otherwise treat the install as a clean start.
