Super Grav

Super Grav is a retro gravity cave flyer for one to four players, with single-player and co-op missions, racing and dogfighting. You pilot through caverns, dodge enemies and bullets, complete objectives and compete in local multiplayer.

Missions and races

In Mission mode, you find crates and return them to their bases. Missions can be played alone or in local multiplayer, cooperatively or versus. Each mission awards a one-, two- or three-star rating; you can aim to earn three stars on every mission individually or in a single run. Race mode has you fly laps through cavern gates, either against the clock in single-player time trials or against other players. Dogfight is a multiplayer deathmatch, while Pod Hunter is a multiplayer PowerUp Pod scavenging mode.

Local multiplayer

Split-screen multiplayer supports up to four players. Versus modes offer configuration options such as disabling weapons and ship-to-ship collisions, as well as a handicap system that can add weight or weapons to help balance differences in player skill. PowerUp Pods provide weapon upgrades such as triple shot and rapid fire; Negative PowerUps can affect an opponent with effects such as reverse steering or altered gravity.

Maps and replays

The game includes 27 Mission maps, 9 Race maps, 3 dedicated Dogfight maps and all 9 original Gravitation maps, plus more. Full replays can be watched at any time, and record-breaking Mission and Race replays save automatically. Steam Leaderboards and Achievements let you compare Mission scores and Race times with friends, and view their full replays.

Origins and presentation

Super Grav is an extended remake of Gravitation, the first game by DemonStudios founder James Shaughnessy and a 1998 Net Yaroze coverdisc hit. Its graphics draw on the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, and its soundtrack is an original chiptune score by DaveDexterMusic. The game features pixel-perfect collision detection and 60fps gameplay.
