About Super Grav
Super Grav is a retro gravity cave flyer for 1-4 players, featuring single player or co-op multiplayer missions, racing and dogfighting.With fast-paced, super smooth 60fps gameplay, pixel-perfect collision detection and that ‘just right’ feel to the physics, Super Grav offers a true test of skill, precision and reflexes. Dodge enemies and bullets, navigate caverns to complete Missions either solo or co-op, battle deathmatch in Dogfight mode or see who can complete 3 subterranean laps the fastest in Race mode.
Back by popular demand, with graphics inspired by the 8-bit and 16-bit era of gaming, Super Grav is an extended remake of DemonStudios founder James Shaughnessy’s very own first game and 1998 Net Yaroze coverdisc hit, Gravitation.

Fans of the original Amiga game Gravity Force by Stephan Wenzler will be pleased to know that this is a pretty faithful update (via the later Gravitron). A few tricks missed in the variety of scenery and enemies, and the movement is not as free-flowing as the original. Otherwise great fun with heaps of great play modes and upgrades. Particularly good in two player mode.4 found this helpful
So nostalgic! I used to play this with my brothers way back when we were all kids.1 found this helpful
I think I was initially too harsh on this game. As a fan of Gravitar, Oids and Astro Duel, this game is right up my alley. I really have no complaint other than the graphics. The game is simple, and while that is what they were going for, the color palette just makes it rough to look at. It could have used some more color and variety in the patterns. As for what's good? Everything else. The simple music is the right pace for the game. The control is tight. The gameplay and the mechanics are excellent. The addition of an air brake and reverse thrust make this game the right kind of challenging. Anyone can pick up and play but it takes practice to master. An excellent game, especially for the price.1 found this helpful
Tight retro gameplay, but fine-tuned like a Ferrari at an oval track!1 found this helpful
God bless Net Yaroze.
Great game! Lots of great features and details. Almost matches the gravity and thrust power of the Amiga game Gravity Force so you'll feel a bit heavier but you'll get used to it. It's a shame that you can't easily map Steam Deck's controller - e.g. Right Trigger is locked to rotate clockwise for some reason. Also the latency is quite high - like using an emulator. When you press right/left it takes a bit longer than on Amiga before the ship rotates. The thrust noise is even more delayed.
