On iOS, most gravity games lean to simpler controls: avoiding rotation and complicated aiming. This game is no exception. However it still requires a feel for the throttle to properly combat gravity, whilst eliminating enemies and avoiding spikes and lasers. Biggest feature of the game is its focus on the engine overheating, which, combined with the different temperature zones higher up in the cave, creates a simple but very fun challenge. Apart from the obviously retro graphics, the game is _very_ retro in its save options: as in: there are none. The checkpoints do help, and you can select at which checkpoint/depth you want to start. All the game seems to store between sessions is a single high-score. Note: I’m not complaining, it just feels very 80s home-computer, and that’s fine by me also, it’s free and takes up little space, so why are you still reading this? psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,971 722 113 England #3 psj3809, Sep 22, 2022 Love the graphics.
