Gravitronix: New WiiWare Game

Mods: If this thread is too much like advertising, and it goes against the rules, my apologies in advance, and feel free to lock it up.

As you may have noticed on my sig I have a new banner. It is promoting a WiiWare game called "Gravitronix". The reason I have it is because the game is my friends' first game ever! My best friend used his life savings to create Medaverse Studios in Dover, New Hampshire. My other friends became staff members and contributing to the game's coding, development, design and artwork.

Gravitronix is an action/battle, multiplayer focused game that allows up to eight players on one console using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. The goal of the game is to defeat your enemies by firing projectiles at their territory while defending your own. Each projectile has different abilities that can be used to your advantage.

Here's a tutorial video that explains it better:

Yeah, the game doesn't look much in the way of graphics. But this is all about the gameplay, not the looks. This is one of those games where there's more to it than meets the eye.

The music was done by Brian H. Kim, an independent composer who has done work for "How I met Your Mother" and ABC Family's "Greek. The game's soundtrack has been made available for download, free of charge, here:

The guys are very small, and wish to make it big, so they will take all the support they can get.

You can visit the game's site here:

The game was released today, and is available for download on WiiWare for only 500 Nintendo Points, so it is easier to support smaller games.

Sorry for bumping, but the developers behind this game will be doing a Developer's Diary feature on Nintendo World Report (the website I am currently writing for). The purpose of the people is to show gamers the process of creating a game development house, as well as how to make a game.

It pretty much shows how even a game as simple as Gravitronix can be life draining, frustrating, and surprisingly satisfying.
