No, he's right--hitting some key (I don't know which but I triggered it once) triggers the heavy gravity earlier. On its own it seems to some at some random level, always earlier than 30 for us. Maybe it's connected to the high score or the number of ebonstar kills? It's NOT in the manual. Has anyone figured it out? Kenneth Herron
