Indie shooter/fighter hybrid Gravity Breakers updates prototype to version 0.2.2, tweaks input system and graphics

It has been a little bit since we’ve checked in with Gravity Breakers, the in-development indie sci-fi fighter from Gremlin_Ent. Since we’ve last seen them, they’ve added a new alien warrior, Gerzil, and made various tweaks to the systems currently in game. You can read the full patch notes here.

This shmup/fighting game hybrid is filled with superheroes, robots, and aliens, and you can play the current build through itch.io. The developers are actively looking for feedback from the FGC to help refine their project, so if you try it out and have an opinion, be sure to reach out to them via Twitter or their Discord!
