All-time highscores

I changed the highscores to always be All-time. With the Big Update, adding god knows how many combinations of highscore lists with all the modifiers and new levels, I realized that the Highscore tables will be very empty for most players. So by making the Global scores no longer be Today only, I'm hoping that they might be at least a little bit more populated. That's all for this time, a very small update indeed. Fly safe, and remember: every ship is sacred!

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