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 was then ported back to PC and Steam.
Now it has returned to Android in the "Arcade" version. The old Android game had progression and 50 levels. This Arcade version has 35 levels, but every time you play, you start from level one, just like on the Arcade.
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.
Features:
Two ships to land, even in single player
Ships are equipped with a grabber which can be used to lift boxes or other ships
Ships are also equipped with an AutoHover System which can be activated by holding down Switch 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
Extra ships are awarded every 30k points
35 levels of increasing difficulty.
60+ achievements to unlock
Classic arcade style high score with initials, with online entries from your friends, and Global.
Tips and tricks:
A Ship that's been turned upside-down can usually be rescued using the grabber and the other ship. Don't immediately Self Destruct!
Firing both thrusters simultaneously will stop the ship's rotation. If the ship is rotating to the right and you press both thrusters, only the right thruster will fire, until the rotation has stopped. Unless, of course, the stabilizing system on that side is damaged.
If both ships are destroyed at the same time, the level will be reset. Sometimes you will need to reset a level by self destructing both ships. If one ship is destroyed and you realize the level will need to be reset, Self Destruct the other ship quickly before it respawns, otherwise it will cost an additional life!
