    Hi,

    I'm happy to introduce my new game, Beyond Gravity! You may know my previous game, Bike Baron. Beyond Gravity is quite different type of game, but they still share the level of polish and both get pretty hard at some point ;)

    Beyond Gravity is procedurally generated "platformer" where you jump in-between planets and try to collect as many pickups as you can. This gets progressively harder the further you jump. No need to worry tho as you can upgrade your character with loads of upgrades and power-ups! Take control of brave space explorer and hold out as long as you can while collecting missing parts of your spaceship. Never miss to build up crazy score multipliers.

    Features
    • Cleverly designed control scheme where all actions in the game are controlled by only one button - the whole screen.
    • Procedurally generated levels ensure non-repetitive and never ending fun.
    • Many goals and upgrades waiting to be unlocked, providing hours of entertainment.
    • Unique, old-cartoon style graphics running at 60fps.

    Beyond Gravity will be hitting the store on 10th of July 2014!

    It will be premium game with NO iap purchases - pay once, play as much as you want. Price will be $1.99.

    This looks awesome! Bike Baron is an iOS masterpiece.

    Loving the art style for sure, especially the main character (his beard!). And a huge list of upgrades is always a nice sight ;)

    Really happy to see this be $2 and no IAP, I really hope this works out for you.

    is it sort of like Space Chicks style (but without the chicks)
    and there was another similar game on Android I believe - now I can't remember the name... Curious to see it! Love the art style.

    I don't know if it was released on Android, but could it be this one?

    If it plays anything like that game, I'm all for it!

    Are you thinking of Rocket Bunnies? Or Astronut?

    But yes, really looking forward to this one, can't wait till next week!

    Also, Qwiboo, it's awesome that you're still giving Bike Baron some love

    Just watched video of Space Chicks as I never heard about that game and Beyond Gravity is similar in some ways but more "hardcore" I would say? Hard to describe but Space Chicks looks like an easy game compared to BG and also has bit different game mechanics.

    Yeah, Mr Ninja! The base mechanic is exactly the same so you will love it :) I added quite a lot of things on top of that, you can pause or cancel your jump, jumping feels more natural, you have obstacles in the game, you can upgrade your character and you have many objectives to unlock. And of course you will have hard time beating the highscores in leaderboards to top it up :)

    Don't know those games either, so can't comment. But there are few very similar games on AppSotre already for sure. I did some unique control mechanics in Beyond Gravity, that no other game like this has and sprinkled lots of polish and love on top of it ;)

    Bike Baron is the best, I'll never stop loving that game and will keep supporting it as long as I can :) The same will go for Beyond Gravity, I have a lot planned for it for the future ;)


    Thanks a lot for all your comments, just 6 days to go! :eek:

    Gettin real close! Playing Bike Baron in anticipation, even though they are completely different games haha.

    Also, I made a post about this in the thread I *kind of* write in. Haven't posted in it for a while, your game being the last one I posted about.
