Fifth and last of the Prime Five slots taken!

Congratulations to Logan Gramley from Phoenix, AZ, who is our final Prime Five! The first five players to beat the game will forever be known as the Prime Five. Logan had seen the Arcade machine at the 8-bit Aleworks in Avondale before, but never actually played it. After getting the game, he played it a bunch of times last friday, and got to level 10. You know, the first mini-boss level. He tried again the next day and got to the next mini-boss level, level 20. Then on the following monday he made another run but unfortunately only made it to level 20 again. But then yesterday (Saturday), he made four new runs, each making it further than the last, until he finally made it. And he streamed the whole thing on Twitch, which you can see here. His run was fast, only 50 seconds slower than the fastest time set by Stu, and he took the least amount of damage out of everyone.

The Prime Five:

1. HGH - Henrik Hermans aka Henke 2. JAR - Jacob Ross aka Jacobians 3. STU - Stuart Campbell aka Stu 4. TWY - Travis Yoder aka RobotEatingHotdog 5. SGT - Logan Gramley aka Sgt Spankcakes You can check out the current Highscores here: www.dynamicentertainment.se/system/gravitrex/report.php

GravitreX started as a contender in the Swedish Game Awards Warm-up competition "80's Warm-up", which had 80's as its theme. GravitreX won that competition, and was later ported to Android. After a few years on Android, it was then turned into an arcade cabinet. Two or three cabinets still exist today, in different barcades in the Phoenix Arizona region. It has now come time to complete the circle and port it back to PC and steam.

This 2D physics simulation has you trying to land two ships on their respective platform. Like the old classic Lunar Lander, but much more difficult and more heavily physics based.

Two ships to land, even in singleplayer
Ships are equipped with a grabber which can be used to lift boxes or other ships
Ships have lots of systems that can be damaged
When damaged, a classic synthetic voice will say what systems are damaged
The voice warnings can be acknowledged (muted) by pressing a button
As this is the Arcade version, every play you will start on level one with three ships
Extra ships are awarded every 30k points
35 levels of increasing difficulty. We are not kidding on this one.
Can be set to accept coins (mame style)

Classic arcade style highscore with initials, but with entries from your friends as well
