Domesticated Ant Games have announced that they have partnered with PID Games to publish their upcoming retro-inspired action-platformer, Gravity Circuit.

Gravity Circuit is a retro-inspired 2D action-platformer that has some striking similarities to a certain franchise about a super-fighting robot. The game follows Kai, a robotic operative in a post-apocalyptic world full of sentient machines. When the Virus Army returns, the weakened Guardian Corps must rely on the war hero Kai and the powers of the mysterious Gravity Circuit to fend off their would-be oppressors.

Unlock new powers by rescuing trapped civilians so you can take down the Virus Army’s generals across a 12-level campaign.

You can find a new trailer for the game below.

Gravity Circuit also received a free demo on Steam as part of Gamescom.

You can find a rundown (via Steam) below:

Gravity Circuit – a flashy action packed 2d platformer in the spirit of console classics.

Mission: Stop the Virus Army’s Uprising!
In a post-apocalyptic world populated by sentient robots, its inhabitants are once more threatened by an old foe, the Virus Army. Defeated decades ago, it has re-emerged from the shadows with a unique goal, complete world domination. Severely weakened Guardian Corps are left with no other choice but to call upon a hero of the previous war: the lone operative, Kai, who harnesses the powers of the mysterious Gravity Circuit. As the world’s last line of defense, journey through futuristic environments, and take down the evil mastermind behind this chaos.

Reminiscent of classic platformers from the 80s and 90s, with action dialed to maximum, channel your power into your fists and send foes flying, or grapple them to get up close and personal. In your quest you will acquire many new powers, which will allow you to go even further beyond!
