Hey All!

I'd like to share our latest game with you all, Gravity Runner, made with iTGB 1.2 (Since we've managed to optimise it and worked with it for a while).

Gravity Runner is a game like no other on the App Store, it is similar to many popular "Running" titles such as 'Canabalt' and 'Chop Chop Runner' but Gravity Runner has a huge difference to these games which makes it much more exciting and much more fun to play, the difference being that you can manipulate gravity. In Gravity Runner, the main character (Colin) is automatically running. You have to tap the screen to make him jump over obstacles and avoid pits, sounds quite familiar so far right?

The unique difference of this game is that if you tap whilst the character is in mid air, the direction of gravity flips and the character will run on the ceiling rather than running along the floor. This adds so much more to the genre and the game becomes a lot more exciting than the usual running game. Couple this with great retro graphics, retro music and smooth gameplay, and this could be the hit game of the season. There are a few other suprises in the game, such as portals that you run through and come out of another, and keys to collect throughout your journey to unlock secret areas.

Thanks Guys,

We used Screen Flow to record the video, and iMovie to stitch them together and add the effects.
