Gravitic Mines - A cave flyer for the Atari Jaguar

Welcome to the Gravitic Mines homepage on itch.io!

The game was released in 2022/2023 exclusively for the Atari Jaguar system  in physical format and recently won the 2023 Atari awards show for Jaguar homebrew of the year. 

In celebration of this honour I relaunched the project/game page. 

What is Gravitic Mines?

Gravitic Mines is the cave flyer game for the Atari Jaguar that crosses 80' Gravitar and Lunar Lander mechanics with modern style graphics and puzzle/exploration flavours!

We took inspiration from several other games: Gravity Crash, Pixel Junk Shooter, Battlemorph, Rayman, just to name a few.
