No Gravity is a cross platform 3D arcade FPS type space shooter.

Santa LOVES His Copy! A Software Santa Pick! This works on the Early 2008 Mac Pro! Another fine toy from the Elves over at Source Forge!

Welcome to No Gravity
... a 3D arcade space shooter

No Gravity runs on Windows, MacOS X, Linux, Amiga OS4, BeOS. No Gravity is a fantastic and futuristic universe made of five intergalactic worlds.
An arcade type game with great playability,
where it is easy to plunge into space battles against spacefighters,
space stations and more !


Year 8002. System OOLRO 3, where the oldest and most powerful empire ever exists : The KROSSO empire, which consists of thousands of colonies. The celebrations of the eighth millenium have just ended and the good days seem to be over. A few cases of an unknown sickness have been found. Rumors are spreading of the possibility of a mind disease.

No Gravity invites you to a fantastic and futuristic universe made of five intergalactic worlds. An arcade type game with great playability, where it is easy to plunge into space battles against spacefighters, space stations and more!

Fifty-five hard hitting missions plus ten training exercises will help you to enter this real time textured 3D environment. Missions set not only in deep space, but also inside enemy structures will have you patrolling high risk sectors, on reconnaissance in enemy space, escorting friendly ships or defending your space stations and even sneaking in to sabotage enemy weapons.


No Gravity is a space shooter in 3D ' a la Wing Commander'. The player is controlling a space ship view from the first person. In each mission, the player need to accomplish some objectives, like shoot and destroys enemy ships or base, escorting some ships, clearing mine field, etc...


A brief description of the objectives is given at the beginning of a mission. In some situations, the player has some wingmen, and it can controls them by giving order like attack enemy, retreat, protect the base etc... A mission is composed of different sectors which has differents objectives.


When the objectives of the current sector is complete, the player needs to go the nearest 'NAV' point, when he can 'wrap' to the next sector. In the last sector, a 'warp' gate is apparearing and the player need to go through it and complete the level. At the end of each episodes (one episode is 10 missions), there is a large base station to destroy.


When the player complete all the episodes (5 episodes), the game ends. The mission fails if : - The player got destroyed or - if an objective is not complete (like an important ship being destroyed by enemy).
