Gravity Crash – PSN retro arcade action

Sony seems to be making a lot of good decisions regarding the PlayStation brand recently. Firstly, all the funky redesigned consoles (PS3 Slim and PSPgo) and secondly, better games. Further evidence of this good decision making is Gravity Crash from Just Add Water (Developments) Ltd. Not only will this excellent game be available for download via the PlayStation store but there’s a version being developed for the PSP. Yay.

I’m proud to announce that one of the contributors to this very website – Tikipod – is the graphics artist on Gravity Crash. Mmm, notice how he’s not written any posts for ages, yep, working hard on Gravity Crash. Definitely. Yeah, it takes time to create all those lovely light blurs, heat haze and refractions :-)

Back to Gravity Crash. Well, it looks quite a bit like Thrust crossed with Defender. In total there are 40 single player levels and 5 major boss battles and a level editor. I’m told the level editor is really easy and quick to use. Once your level is created you can upload it for others to play. Think of it like LittleBigPlanet’s level editor, just simpler.

Here’s a trailer for Gravity Crash, featuring awesome in-game music from CoLD SToRAGE.

You can also buy some of the music from CoLD SToRAGE’s band camp page for £1.59. Gravity Crash also features multiplayer modes including local split-screen so you can get your butt kicked by your boy/girlfriend.

Time for another Gravity Crash trailer:

Gravity Crash currently doesn’t have a release date or price for either the PS3 or PSP version. Boo!!!
