Gravity Guy Review

Gravity Guy is set on a futuristic world where you play as Gravity Guy who is being pursued buy the Gravity Troopers.  Why we don't know, it is not discussed in game and to be honest it doesn't matter, just make sure you keep running at a good pace so the ugly guy in the helmet doesn't catch you and then kill you.
The premise is that the player can tap the screen to flip gravity guy upside down and make him run on the ceiling.  The game is a racing platformer and a hard one at that.  Not only is the game fast but the player has the added pressure of the Gravity Trooper that is always chasing you.  Often this pressure pressure becomes too much and the player will make a fatal wrong flip of gravity causing him to fall to his death.

In Gravity Guy there is four different modes of play.  The first is Story Mode, which despite it's title does not actually have a story.  In this mode you play through levels and if you die, it allows you to start from a checkpoint.  The second is Endless.  In this mode you simply travels through randomly placed sections until you die, in an attempt to beat your current high score.

There is also a practise mode which allows you to try stages without being chased and a multiplayer mode which I have yet to get working, due to a lack of other online players.

In terms of graphics Gravity Guy is great to look at, fluid glossy and sci-fi.  Even the character design is good although he does look suspiciously like a blue version of Viewtiful Joe from the Capcom game series.  

Despite the games difficulty level and repetitive game play, it never gives you time to be bored.  The harsh failures over and over again with the slight progression keep you going until you pass the next hurdle.  Complete with a techno soundtrack to keep you going the game is a wonderful experience for 59p.

For anyone that likes a challenge, something new or is a fan of their hard platformers Gravity Guy is a must, however if you like your games easy and completable in one sitting maybe you should go and find something else.
