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
