Gravity Badgers Review

Do you enjoy playing Angry Birds Space and want to pay more for a worse close?

Well here's your chance to get ripped off! Gravity badgers was recently added to the steam market place for a cheap £2.99 so I thought "Hm this has a good theme song, looks pretty nice, guess I'll pick it up."

Do not be fooled. This is a game about a badger in space who is on a quest to rescue his crew mates and will face dangers along the way. However the game is really you launching a badger through space around gravity fields as seen in Angry Birds Space, you get to a worm hole and you're on to the next level. There is 3 golden blobs of God knows what which you can easily collect on your way to the wormhole to get a 3 star rating for that level. To free his comrades, this badger faces the worlds easiest boss battles that require less effort than downloading the game. After playing 25 levels in about 10 minutes, I soon realised that this game has the campaign time of 1 Skyrim main mission. Admittedly the levels do get harder later on but nothing that will use more braincells than first grade maths. 

The graphics are the only redeeming feature of this game. They accompany the same 2D art style as Angry Birds however the colour schemes are a lot nicer. As you can see from above it's clean and pretty, everything a 2D game should be. The cutscenes are either a comic style artwork show like that of Angry Birds or a small piece of dialogue similar to Metal Gear Solid but a little more high definition. The mechanics of the game are poor however. The gravity seems to work on a very basic system of push and pull. There is pipes that send you in a given direction and cubes that can send you in any direction of your choosing. There is no abilities as in ABS and no blocks to destroy etc. only a laser to pass through to unlock the wormhole. It is an indie game so I wasn't expecting the equivalent of a AAA title, but I played the original angry birds and it was better than this. It is a simplified clone that costs more money that's all I can really say about it. 2/10
