Gravitas
A downloadable gravity party game for Windows and macOS
Gravitas
Gravitas is a local multiplayer "cave flyer" party game, inspired by Thrust on the C64, Gravity Force on the Amiga and Star Control 2 on the PC!
It is out now for PC, Mac and Linux!
Features
- Single player mode to retrieve "urchins" from subterranean depths in the style of Thrust on the Commodore 64!
- Two player head-to-head races around tightly looping cave systems.
- Four player split-screen spelunking dogfights in the style of "Gravity Force" on the Amiga!
- Two-vs-two football in orbit. Can you get the moon into your team's goal?
- Four player melee battles in deep space, in the style of "Star Control 2" on the PC!
- Launch bombs and detonate them with the push of a button.
- Use your shield to "pong" bombs and other projectiles back to enemies and other players, or deploy a grappling hook to grab them to use as a weapon!
- Intuitive keyboard and gamepad controls.
- Mini-map radar.
- Pumping synthwave soundtrack and sound effects :)
- 24 levels of gravity-defying action!
Controls
The gamepad controls are fairly intuitive: use the sticks to rotate the ship and its shield, and the face buttons or shoulder buttons for thrust, fire, bomb and grapple. Here are the keyboard controls:
- Rotate ship: A and S
- Thrust: Right Shift
- Fire: Enter
- Grapple: Spacebar
- Shield: Left Shift
- Bomb: CTRL, ALT or Option
- Pause: P
- Exit: ESC
