    Hey everyone,

    We just released the trailer for our next game, GravBot. Check it out and let us know what you think!



    GravBot is a physics-based puzzle platformer coming from Team Phobic in September to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

    Defy the law of gravity as you pivot through levels collecting batteries. Use switches, buttons, elevators and more to solve puzzles. Beware of enemies and spike traps.

    This game looks AMZING. I like your other game too! Ninja Zombie Draw Slasher. Are you needing beta testers?

    Most likely late September.

    Most of the difficulty is in the puzzle solving rather than the platforming. You are scored on the amount of gravity pivots it takes to beat the level, so it takes both if you want the best score.

    Thanks! We didn't make Ninja Zombie Draw Slasher but it sounds pretty epic. We aren't currently looking for testers, but thanks for the offer!

    Looks great. I guess th middle arrow does a 180 flip. I don't know how else the 180 s would be so smooth.

    Universal???

    Yea, you move left and right with the controls on the left and pivot gravity with the controls on the right.

    We are still working on iPad support and not sure how we are going to implement it yet.

    Looks awesome. I love the subtle animations on the bot when he drops down or stops moving. Shows a lot of attention to detail!

    Haven't see the Vid yet! :(
    But the comments & Team Phobic's past has put this on my wishlist already.

    More details like the following should help the rest of the TAers ;)

    how many levels?
    how long are these levels if there are only 15-ish levels?
    Pricing?
    Lite version?

    EDIT: Just checked the vid, not completely though (Pssst, my Boss is around)
    the Gfx look like its iPod touch 3g+, will this work on 2g too? :eek:

    Thanks everyone for your comments, we really appreciate them and are very excited about this game!

    We are still finalizing the price, number of levels and how we are going to sell it but the complete game will have around 50 levels at launch. It works great on the iPod Touch 2g!

    Tentatively yes

    This looks trippy! Really digging the cute, mechanical stuff. Really love jonaswills avatar. Is that going to be the icon for the game?
