X-Out returns with a brand new shooter entitled Gravitron, though this one requires a little more tact as it is actually based on Thrust. Instead of transporting pods into the skies you now have to destroy reactors while saving any spacemen wandering on the surface of the planet.

Switch to mouse controls by pressing the tab key when the main menu is shown. Activate the shields next to a fuel pod to fill up your tank. Progress is saved using a pass phrase, plus the nifty level editor facilitate user creations quite well. Expect more content to be posted in the near future.

Name: Gravitron
Developer: Castle Software
Category: Action
Type: Freeware

This game is acers! Although level 5 is being a bastard to get past. Only 18 more after that... :P

Hi guys.
Just have to say that mouse-control is by far the easiest control method to use, more precision over the ship rotation.

I'm currently thinking about adding deathmatch online play.

Hope you enjoy the game! :)
