SLACKERJACK - Grav Trip
Then buzz it up

Grav Trip terrifies us, and we’re not ashamed to admit it. You’re a tiny cursor that must negotiate various mazes using arrow buttons. That much is simple.
But then there’s the giant black ball that chases you. The giant black Grav Trip ball that kills you if it catches up with you. The giant black angry Grav Trip ball that can move through walls, making it hard for you to escape it. The giant black angry relentless Grav Trip ball that hurtles at you from the very start of each level, before you’ve even had chance to figure out what the maze looks like.
In that sense, Grav Trip is almost identical to a dream hecklerspray had in 1993. Only it wasn’t a great big angry black relentless Grav Trip ball chasing us, it was Dawn French. And there wasn’t an awful techno hairdresser’s version of Ride On Time by Black Box in the background of our dream, either.
