Gameplay
The player chooses a planet to visit from a top-level menu, and then explores that planet in a two-dimensional side view. The planetary surfaces tend to be riddled with systems of caverns: manoeuvring through them while taking gravity into account is one of the game's principal challenges. Gravity Crash was inspired by three games in particular, Gravitar, Thrust and Oids.
The player can choose one of two control modes: in the first, the player's craft can fire only in the direction it is currently facing. In the second, the direction of fire is independent of the craft's orientation, controlled by the second joystick on the controller.
Soundtrack
The game features music by video game musician Tim Wright, who composed a 16-track remix album and double 'A'-side single to complement the game.
Reception
Gravity Crash received mostly positive reviews. Play's reviewer stated that the only bad thing was the "insane difficulty level." Edge's reviewer also mentioned the difficulty, calling Gravity Crash "A stern, if unspectacular, challenge."
