GravSpace is an exciting and fun new take on the classic cave-flyer gravity game taking advantage of the iPhone accelerometer and multi-touch control + the advanced graphics and sound offered by OpenGL ES and OpenAL.
(It's also possible to play without the accelerometer since version 1.2)
GravSpace is heavily inspired by the classic 80s computer game 'Thrust' for Commodore 64 and BBC Micro.

You are humanity's last hope in a war against the evil zyritons. You have been assigned the task of flying a specially designed GravShip to capture the zyriton energy pods which have been hidden on planets across the galaxy.
The pods are protected by a highly sophisticated automated defense system and are located in caves of varying depth beneath the planet surfaces.
You will need to defend yourself using the GravShip shield and its lazer and plasma explosion weapons.
Once you have found the energy pod you will need to use great skill and precision to negotiate the caves and bring it back to the surface and out to space using the GravShip teleportation beam.
FEATURES:
- A great sensation of gravity/motion. - Fantastic backdrop graphics, and particle explosion effects. - Precise collision detection and response to control input. - Superb stereo sound effects such as explosions and retro style lazer and gun sounds.
