Gravity Ace

Disclaimer: I'm one of the developers of the game engine used to make Gravity Ace (Godot Engine), to whom John gives a very nice shoutout in the splash screen! So I'm obviously biased towards wishing success to John. That being said, I've been following the development of Gravity Ace from the beginning and, as a gamer, eagerly awaiting its release. I love the gameplay, graphics and sound effects that Gravity Ace offers, and I'm having a ton of fun with the available level in the Early Access version (as of Oct 2020). I'm looking forward to even more content in coming months :) As the description says, Gravity Ace is a physics/gravity-based twin stick shooter, with tight controls (including an option for a classic mode for hardcore gamers of the titles that inspired this game, which I'm not) and a lot of very satisfying juicy effects. It just feels nice to play, and the difficulty curve is just about right for me - it's easy to start, but far from easy to master the controls. You won'...

Gravity Ace takes the good bits of classic 80s shooters and slaps on fresh new coat of-- - Beautiful pixel art - Juicy explosions - KIller music - Fun lore tidbits - Unlimited Replayability The journey to become an "Ace" starts when you beat the campaign. You get stats and a rank for every level. S, A, B, and so on. Between speedrunning and a slick level editor, hard to say what it means to "beat" Gravity Ace. There's always something to do. I could see a pretty fun speedrunning community coming out of this. Would love to see some streamers pick it up. If you like anything like Hotline Miami, Celeste, or any old arcade shooters, Gravity Ace might just do it for you. Recommend keyboard + mouse controls

Too pricey for what it is, it feels like puzzle game with premade levels & very uneasy controls. No adventure spirit found, no context, possible leaderboards is the only motivation to play. A ton of positive reviews looks suspicious.

Challenging, Fun, Arcade style game. You have to balance fighting against gravity, conserving your fuel, and dodging enemies and obstacles along the way. The fuel mechanic creates a sense of urgency, and forces you to act quickly and decisively. The levels become pretty challenging pretty quickly, and there's lots of room to challenge yourself further by attempting to get better grades for each level.

The visuals and music are fantastic with game play to match. Feels amazing to play and the extra challenge of getting S Ranks can be addicting.

Really liking Gravity Ace so far and brings back good memories of several classic games like Lunar Lander, Choplifter, Scramble and more (even a little Major Havoc in that you have gravity and need to complete the mission after stealing the core by getting to a specific point. retro graphics and physics are great! Looking forward to finding some time to checkout the level editor.

slick controls. obviously slick visuals. very satisfying to get S ranks. i'm not into level editors, but this one seems ridiculously robust.

Love it!

A really well-polished arcade experience. Although you see a lot of the same enemies and obstacles as you progress, the level design and rapid gameplay loop keep you from ever getting tired playing. The bits of dialogue sprinkled throughout the levels help give the game a lot of character as well. There are occasional difficulty spikes, but they aren't ever really unfair. The game also has a simple but robust level editor that you can open up while playing any of the levels to make your own edits, or start a new level or campaign from scratch. The only feature I wish it had was an added "boost" button to give you some extra oomph at the cost of more fuel. It would have made some challenges I faced a little more fun to overcome and could make for interesting speed-runs as well. It [i]is[/i] early access, so expect a few *extremely* minor bugs, but this is an extremely fun and well made game overall!

Gravity Ace is a colorful cross-stitch of retro twin-stick shooters with modern mechanics and level-design. Its polish is commendable, and its graphics, appealing. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing through Gravity Ace's winding, enemy-ridden, and (go figure) gravity-centered levels. Even though the core mechanics and goals are simple, their outworking in the actual game is fresh and engaging level by level. Some of the most fun I had was in puzzling my way through caverns or threading the needle through a rotating web of lasers. Though I also go to blow stuff up, and man, do my lasers look cool. All in all, this is a great pick-up. The levels are short enough (and difficult enough) that I can easily see this becoming a game in which my friends and I go around trying to beat each other's high scores. I look forward to new updates and levels!
