Gravity Box - Bleep Blipp



Gravity Box is a frantic arcade shooter made by Fatalsleep, you can play it here. I have interacted with the developer of this game for about a year and a half or so, and at first, I was giving him help when he was still using drag and drop on game maker. Now, I come back to yoyo and Gamejolt after 6 months of not logging on, and here he has not only made awesome looking games, but he has also accelerated at programming immensely in the past year or so. I don't want to sound like a dad, but im proud of him for sticking it out and becoming the awesome programmer he is today. Well, now, down to what I'm reviewing.
This game was made for the GameJolt Music Interpretation Contest, and by golly, I think it deserves a win. The opening looks awesome with its lighting and blend system, and the music sound eerie as it fades into the menu. I particularly like how the game fades into a random colour every time you launch the game, the colours change on you also throughout your time playing which adds a cool element to it, the neon looks awesome and the light fading the edges looks fabulous. But it doesn't end there, the game play is quite cool and unique as the box your trapped in spins and shakes in circles and adds extra effect to playing experience. You main aim is to shoot the oblong shapes emerging from the darkened corners of the view and by shooting, it increases your score. Achievements also spruce up the game adding more competitive addicting fun. The only thing i don't like about it is the bleeping and bliping thought the time playing. Other than that, its a worthwhile play, so why don't you give it a go?
