Engage in strategic turn-based combat where every move relies on mastering gravitational forces. Gravity Assist: Initiative challenges you to outmaneuver opponents in cooperative or competitive play, pushing the boundaries of casual gaming with deep strategy.
About this game
In Gravity Assist: Initiative you are a surviving Ai warship. You wake up with no recollection of who created you and why. You face a corrupt Ai network and attempt to establish a resistance by aligning with other stable Ai warships and uncover the answers to your past.
Tactical Space Combat
Every action matters. Position your ship carefully, manage your energy, coordinate your shots and use gravity itself to your advantage.
In a unique turn based system, each team will cycle turns where Team 1 acts: resolution phase. Team 2 acts: resolution phase. And repeat.
With the ability for all players to act simultaneously during your team turn, you will coordinate with your friends to carry out your strategies that are limited only by your imagination.
Hone Your Skills
Just like an advanced artificial intelligence, you will need to refine your skills by calculating your shots and predicting the enemy moves.
Challenging at first, you will quickly find satisfaction when you successfully (or accidentally) land that perfect shot, or simply shoot yourself or your allies in the behind!
Choose your positioning to deflect enemy shots. Set your firing angle to orbit and hit from unexpected directions. Place defenses to cover your weak sides.
Enjoy the many quality-of-life UI/UX features already in game, and look out for additional tools being added over time.
Hone Your Skills
This isn't your standard turn based system like you may be used to.
To support persistent projectiles, fair team play, and real simulation feel of "if it didn't hit something, it will keep flying until it does", This game uses a unique Phase system -
- Team 1 turn - All human players act at the same time (ai bots act once all players hit "ready" for the sake of cpu usage etc.) consuming energy per action. you can shoot, move, then shoot again, but here is the twist, projectiles do not move, they stay frozen in the location you fired them in awaiting the "resolution phase".
- Resolution phase - there are no inputs during this phase. You can freely look around and watch all your team actions play out, projectiles hitting targets, defense nodes deploying, asteroids exploding. This proceeds for a limited time, then all the projectiles etc. freezes again.
- Team 2 turn - the same flow as when team one moved, but you already have projectiles frozen "in flight", so you have a chance to move if they haven't reached you yet!
- Resolution phase - rinse and repeat.
Play Styles
With 5 ship classes currently in game and more already in the works - you can experience different challenges and benefits that each class provides.
Captain a light frigate to scout and cause a distraction. Provide support in a cruiser. Snipe heavy targets in a destroyer. Assault enemy lines in a battleship. Dominate the battlefield in a dreadnought.
Each class will have a different health pool, ammo count, and movement range to fit your style.
Team up with your friends to hunt down the mighty dreadnought, or set up a duel with your friends in a deadly destroyer.
Play missions in co-op or set up your own matches in sandbox mode.
Replay-ability
You will encounter different planets, asteroids and stars in procedurally generated system each time, or replay the ones you like using the system seed.
With already a number of types in the game already and many more in the works, you will feel like you are in a new star system each time!
Each planet, star, and black hole introduces its own unique gravity strength, size, color, and influence on the battlefield making no match the same.

Update 24 BI
Gravity Assist Initiative Change LogNew- Changed Boss progression/creationDid a rebalance and rework of how bosses progress, difficulty of new bosses, Boss tiers/grades, and how they are created.Bosses now are graded up to SS tier then they upgrade to next up hull class, but get bumped down in tier like this - frigate starts at tier D and at SS gets upgraded to cruiser tier C. Cruiser tier SS upgraded into destroyer tier B, etc.The tier system is also now built as a 25 step ladder looking like this - frigate D = 1, then +1 for every tier up to SS, which makes a frigate ss tier 7. then cruiser, since it starts at tier C will be tier 8, and go up again +1 per tier, and this all ends with a dreadnaught SS being tier 25.- Initiative reworkComplete overhaul of how initiative works to its intended (or on track to the intended) design.Now initiative is the capacity of your fleet/s for either a delay in how bosses detect you and respond to you if you are below 100% or an increase in detection and chance of a higher tier boss responding if you are above that capacity.Think of it as the enemy's detection and response capability.Initiative cost per ship will also be effected by the amount of upgrades installed on your ship.During match, your fleet initiative will also determine how much of a threat you are to the enemy and how it will respond.Destroying enemy squads/fleets will prompt a more aggressive response, up to and including a boss.- AI ally command queue Added a command queue for your brought-along ally ai's.They will always try to complete the top most command, but if it for some reason cannot, it will attempt to complete the next one until turn ends/runs out of energy.- AI experience tiersAdded new experience tiers to ally Ai cores, making them as follows - Rookie, Trained, Veteran, Elite, Apex.Bug Fixes- Fixed tooltips collapse into a "..."- Fixed repair unlocks only at 50% hp of module left- Tuned boss hp to be logical and generally lower- Tune mission enemy wave c...Read full article on Community Announcements (Kraeken)Patch NotesOfficial

There are also now scout enemies that if not destroy further increase likelihood of boss arriving.- Ai commands reworkReworked ai commands logic and behavior so that hopefully we now have ai that actually feel command able when you take them along on your missions!- AI ally coresYou can now construct AI cores to install on your owned hulls and it will move that hull to a different selection when in lobby.The AI cores now also level up based on completed missions and witnessed enemy kills.We may make it to where you cannot simply construct new cores, but instead need to save/recover/find them.Bug Fixes- Fixed menu panel text bugs- Fixed in match ui panel size issues and scaling mismatch- Added "jumpdrive" label to the jumpdrive button- Ui in match too small- Some text missing in match ui- Doesn't display shot mass in ship information panel- Logs do not open- Updated tutorial to match new features- Fixed, optimized, and standardized ui/panels, text etc throughout game presentation.- Tooltip stuck and persists across panels- Added ship tonnage to ship loadout stats in loadout panelRead full article on Community Announcements (Kraeken)Patch NotesOfficial

I am still here!
Hey everyone! Just wanted to check in and let you know that I haven't forgotten about Gravity Assist: Initiative.Development is still active, but I've been very busy lately, so progress has been slower than I'd like. At the same time, I'm working on some pretty major changes behind the scenes, and they're taking longer because I want to get them right instead of rushing them.I wanted you to know the project is still very much alive. Thanks for sticking with me and for all the support—it really does mean a lot.More updates will come as soon as I have something worth showing!Read full article on Community Announcements (Kraeken)Patch NotesOfficial
