Title
Gravitron is a 2D vector game, very much like old games, Thrust, Gravitar and Oids.
Its not the first gravity based shooter I have written for sure. I was inspired by wiebo's Thrust Extreme. Its a lot of fun to play and I loved the art style. So heres my take on it.
Should run on pretty much any openGL capable gfx card.
The game premise is to destroy all reactors for each sector. Collect fuel and rescue space-men. I'm quite proud of some of this games capabilities - there is some interesting maps (30 total) to explore.

This game is best played with mouse-control, but other controls are available. Be sure to configure them to suit you.
Gravitron also comes with its editor - GravED. Feel free to submit maps to me, and if there is enough I will release new content packs.

Online scores can be viewed and updated from in-game. They can also be viewed here.
UPDATE: Now added deathmatch online play with 3 maps.
Theres some bugs I couldnt track down but it should be ok for a quick blast. Mousewheel can be used to select weapons when they are collected, allternatively configure them yourself.

The game browser doesnt seem to quite work correctly so I have added the option to join an IP directly.

Also fixed some minor bugs with the single player game and updated a few maps.

This update requires a full download.
