Gravity guy one button trial#

Rather than being entrusted with merely rolling a ball down to a waiting hole, Zattikka wants us to build the whole god-damned track instead. It's Marble Madness, Jim, but not as we know it. He might have vengeance in his heart, this Gravity Guy, but his aim is true.

Unlike Canabalt, a definite structure awaits, with 30 levels to bound through - each with checkpoints - allowing you the chance to become mired in gleeful trial and error. As soon as an obstacle appears, you have no choice but to flip things around once more - more often than not without knowing whether safety awaits. But while Canabalt at least afforded you the opportunity to leap to safety, here you have to let gravity do its thing, thrusting you up to the safety of a nearby ceiling or down to the floor. Superficially, this is Miniclip's Canabalt a runaway one-button super-minimalist platform masterpiece with no happy ending. Even hate-crimes against balladeering are frowned upon these days.īut beneath the hate, his jumping heart remains pure, and it's up to you to dictate which way gravity works for our desperate fugitive. This is just as well, really, because he has the law in hot pursuit. You hold me down so quietly.įorced to continue running forever, he has developed the cunning power to bend gravity to his whim. In his case, the rejection of the skinny Canadian is so profound that his muscle fibres are permanently locked in a fight or flight state. Like many who find themselves unwittingly exposed to Celine Dion's music, he has the compulsion to run as far away as possible. The Gravity Guy has a rare, incurable condition. With more of a defined structure, this would have worked, but as it is the rather woolly notion of expanding your defences over a larger area doesn't work very well. As you earn money for kills, you can level up and repair your units, and even let the game get on with defending your honour while you're not playing.īut the autonomous nature of it all means it's slightly pointless to play. With mutant freaks making a relentless beeline for your manor, the idea is to set up defences of your choice, from simple machinegun nests to lasers and grenade-spewing turrets.įrom there, you have the option of directing your fire as you see fit, or you can let the AI get on with the task at hand. You can let Bing know where you'd like to set the game, and a top-down GPS map of your favourite battleground loads up, complete with your 'base' of operations. It's not a bad effort - at least initially. Presumably considered a little vanilla simply as a TD game set on real-world GPS maps, the game instead imports some of the weapons and enemies from the Crackdown 2 'universe' (please) and hopes we'll come bounding over like happy Labradors. Such is the case with Seed's otherwise-merely-interesting spin on tower defence. If in doubt about a game's ability to stand up on its own merits, attach a popular console brand to it.
