Gravity Runner 1.0 has just been released for iPhone and iPod touch devices via the App Store. We Are Colin provides the same addictive experience you will expect from the popular 'Running Game' genre but delivers a more feature rich experience without detracting from the simplicity of the formula that makes the game fun.

The player takes the role of 'Colin' as he automatically runs through levels fraught with fiendish obstacles and traps, in order to reach the end of the level in the fastest time possible. The twist in this game comes with Colin's ability to change the direction of gravity, this allows for some interesting challenges that mean the player must think and react quickly to reach the goal at the end. There are also various pickups along the way to aid the player.

Gravity Runner 1.0 has been designed to be very easy to learn and play, using a simple and responsive one touch control system. The player taps anywhere on the screen once to jump, and taps again while the player is in mid air to flip gravity. Don't let the simplicity of the game fool you though, there's something here to challenge the most seasoned hardcore gamers. Timed leaderboards allow players to compete to be the fastest Gravity Runner in the whole world.
