“Gravity Crash”

PlayStation® 3 – PSN

Release Q3/Q4 2009

Gravity Crash combines vintage arcade shooter gameplay with striking 1080p 60fps vector
graphics. The player pilots a small craft, mastering the flight mechanics to combat the
perpetual gravitational pull is the key to success. Armed with an arsenal of main and special
weapons, shield and a carefully watched fuel gauge, players battle gravity and inertia
through 37 planets that each feature environmental dangers, enemies and other obstacles.

Additionally, Gravity Crash is the first Arcade Shooter on PSN to offer a Level Editor. Players
can design their own planets fraught with danger, from narrow, twisting tunnels to deadly
enemies. Then, they can publish and share it for others on the PlayStation Network to
download and enjoy.

With “old school” arcade gameplay and glossed and colourful 1080p 60fps HD vector visuals,
Gravity Crash offers a sense of 1980s arcade nostalgia while delivering the latest in visuals
exclusively on PS3.
