Corrected entry: A short while after Walter is chased around the house by the robot, Danny spins and gets a card. They begin to enter the sun's gravity field. The sun would have destroyed the house the minute they entered the gravity field.

Correction: The planet Earth is within the Sun's gravity field, yet somehow we all escape destruction every day.

Yeah, but the Earth is 91 million miles away from the Sun. In the movie it looks like the house is MUCH closer to it.
When the boys opened the front door when they first realised they're in space, they could breathe just fine. I think the game has powers to alter physics, such as allowing them to breathe in space. So I think the game altered how strong the gravity field was so there was some danger without it being instant death.
