Description

Gimbal Cop is a dynamic, cross-platform, multiplayer, creation-based racing game made by a small group of indie developers that call themselves Defective Studios. The Architect, in the lead, flies freely though space, creating a trail behind him that the rest of the players -- the Runners -- race along, trying to catch, and become, The Architect. You and your friends can race against each other using a local Wifi connection, with plans for Bluetooth multiplayer (so you can beat your friends anywhere you'd like!) coming very soon.

The Architect tries to avoid running into potato-asteroids and the track's own tail, as both slow him down dramatically. Aside from making a track that'll be hard for the Runners to stay on, his other offensive maneuver is manually dropping obstacles ("Drops") on the track. There are currently three unique tracks for the Architect to switch between (Octopus [default], Western, and Candyland), each of which has unique obstacles, both those automatically placed (like the suckers on the Octo track) and intentionally by the Architect.The Runner's goal is simple: don't fall off, and catch that Architect!

With obscenely bright, fun graphics, and kickass gameplay, Gimbal Cop will certainly have the player cursing out his dearest friends, yet begging to play another game.
