Gameplay footage of Gravitrex, the first Android game from swedish indie developers Dynamic Entertainment, to be released soon.

There will be one "lite" version, which will be free and contain 25 levels. The paid version will cost $0.99 and have 50 levels. Both free and paid version will have Openfeint integration, bringing achievements and online highscores to the table.

The physics are simulated using jBox2d. After initial release, some effort will go into switching jBox2D out in favor of Box2D through the NDK, which should boost performance a lot.

The graphics are deliberately very simple, to try and mimic the feel of the old Vectrex console. Gravitrex 2 is planned to bump the graphics up to the 16-bit generation, and work on that should start as soon as Gravitrex is released.

Cool, love the vector-type graphics. And there is a totally separate, different game called Gravitrex Plus on the Vectrex.

@Darrylb500 You're right. However, we did not know about that game when we came up with our game. It was totally cool to find out that there was already an old game with that name, somehow it meant that we weren't so far off in our attempt to make a fictitious Vectrex game with real physics.

@partybwal That's cool, sometimes that happens. It did with Star Sling for the same system, where some people compared it to the arcade game Quantum. However, the programmer had never heard of the game, and there actually weren't many similarities (like the title says, you sling together objects, not encircle them!).

fits in that lovable super old school category for me. Gaming looks legit on that Xperia
