Our friends at SCEA have asked us to take part in the Holiday Sale, as such welcome to the Gravity Crash Ultra Christmas Sale. The game will be on sale from December 16th to December 23rd, for the price of …
$5.72 (30%) and $4.90 (40%) for PS Plus subscribers

Personally we think that’s a bargain and those of you, yes there are some, that haven’t bought the game yet you should use this opportunity to give it a blast.
Gravity Crash Ultra launched on VITA back in August of 2014, and is fully compatible with PlayStation TV, so if you happen to be getting one this holiday season then now is the best time to grab Gravity Crash Ultra.
For those that don’t know and have perhaps been living on another planet, Gravity Crash Ultra is a Neon Retro Shooter with old school gameplay, featuring it’s own powerful level editor, allowing the player to Create, Play and Share their own levels with other PSN Users, not just on VITA, but also with PS3 players who have the original Gravity Crash released just over 5 years ago!
Happy Holidays everyone and we hope you enjoy the Gravity Crash Ultra Christmas Sale!

It didn’t stop there, we continued that process through full Production which started in Feb 2009. There were only a hand full of us that worked on the game, they are …

To celebrate the release of Gravity Crash Ultra for PlayStation(r)VITA in both SCEE and SCEA regions. Below is 9 minutes of footage showing the first System in the game completed start to end!
It takes 9 minutes of play to complete the first system, but that’s pretty much a speed run, if you want collect everything and 100% each planet, it’s likely to take you 15-20 minutes, depending on your skills.
The game was released August 12th/13th in SCEA/SCEE respectively, and has had some pretty decent reviews!
We have however had some feedback about the progression system, we’re thinking about tweaking it, feedback welcome 
E3 is a busy time for any development studio, but for JAW it’s doubly so this year, as not only are we still busy with Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, we’ve also got some brand new, exclusive expo news for Gravity Crash Ultra, the PlayStation Vita version of our 2009 PS3 game, which is due out in July.
You can catch the full story over on the PSN blog, where we’re lucky enough to get a guest post with some more tasty details, along with the premiere of the Gravity Crash Ultra E3 trailer. To keep you busy, though, here is a look at the new logo for Gravity Crash Ultra, along with some screenshots featuring the gorgeous new particle system.
You’ll be able to get your hands on a digital copy of the game when it comes out in July, but if you keep up with our news on Facebook and Twitter, you might get lucky and snag a PSN code before the game is even available on the Store! Keep our eyes peeled!
