Gravitanks is a 2.5D dual stick shooter with a gravity based twist. Players drive massive tanks around planets or fly through space firing projectiles and other weapons. Projectiles are strongly affected by the gravity field of the planets. This can be used to the player’s advantage to fire from cover and arc shots into foes. Up to 4 players can compete in frenetic deathmatches. From 1 to 4 players can fight against the hordes cooperatively in survival mode.

Gravitanks pre-alpha demo

We've been playing with the idea of a dynamic environment level for some time now. Toward that end we've prototyped up a moving asteroids level, as you can see in the screenshots below.

Asteroids carry players from one side of the screen to the other, toward a black hole or other destructive hazard. In addition to dealing with enemies in survival mode or deathmatch, players will have to watch their position constantly and fight against the massive gravity field of a black hole. Destructive hazards will also bring the high explosive rounds, gravity reverse rounds, and push gun into play, as players learn to use the environment to destroy their enemies in addition to direct and indirect fire.

Check it out in survival mode:

And for good measure, here we are using the laser:

We'd love to know what everybody thinks of the new level and how it plays, so we'll try to get it into the demo as soon as we can.
