What's It About?
GRAVITY CRASH ULTRA doesn't have much of a story line; it's all about getting into the action right away. The game's concept is very simple: Players have to maneuver a small vessel through all kinds of twisting caverns, chasms, and hills while trying not to hit the environment or be hit by the objects that get in their way.
Is It Any Good?
Gravity Crash Ultra's visual style and appeal help it stand out from other arcade shooters. The graphics are intoxicating, with vibrant neon colors in the foreground with muted complementary graphics in the background. When mixed with the right combination of colors and the fireworks-style explosions when an object is destroyed, the action is truly captivating. It's not often that a game's graphical style is its standout aspect, but this one delivers that quality for sure. It only makes things more satisfying when the controls and the gameplay run fluidly throughout each level, mesmerizing players through the entire experience. With such immersive gameplay, Gravity Crash Ultra is a winner.
