Free Game Friday: Gravity Bone

I wasn’t sure what to think about this game before having played, and I almost gave up during some platforming when I kept dying and had to restart the level. But then I found out that F6 quick-saved the game, which helped a lot. I stuck with the game til the end, and was very glad that I did. It was all worth it for the end of level 2.

GravityBone is an “Art House” game. The platforming feels like the original Half-Life, and the art style is reminiscent of Grim Fandango.

To make it in Nuevos Aires, one needs nerves of silk and the filthiest of hands. Mix together a batch of espionage, some high- speed car chases, fire-spewing assassins, and you’ve got one oven that’ll never bake cookies again. We provide the pliers and you bring the moxie.

The abovementioned car chase must’ve never made it into the game, but it’s got one of the best foot-chases I’ve seen in a game. The music and art are awesome, and I laughed out loud a couple times playing it. You can play through the whole game in a half-hour, and you don’t even need to install anything. You absolutely have got to try this game, as it may be tied with “Tag” for my all-time favorite Free Game Friday.
