It's a free game made by Brandon Chung, you can get it over at BlendoGames.com I wish I could describe it without spoiling it, because most of the "gist" of the game is found through playing it, it's a short game, but still, that time was the most joy I've had with a game since I played Portal.


Here's a short description of "Gravity Bone"


No Caption Provided

To make it in Nuevos Aires, one needs nerves of silk and the filthiest of hands. Mix together a batch of espionage, some high- speed car chases, fire-spewing assassins, and you've got one oven that'll never bake cookies again. We provide the pliers and you bring the moxie.


I might be overselling it, but at least in my opinion I thought this was an excellent example of how a game should develop its story. I freaking loved it.

I'm glad you got to play it. You have to get to the end, the last part is so insanely awesome.

Sweet. It's real late now, but i've downloaded it to get through it tomorrow.

EDIT: I just gave the first level a spin to keep me satiated, but it's rather obscure though interesting for sure. I'm liking it.

I'd say it's best to play it all in one go.

Dude, I totally love this game. Praised it a few weeks back. Everyone who enjoys bizarre things, play this. Very short, but very worthwhile.

I played it a few months ago and it was short, but still amazing. I had no idea what happened the first time I played it.

It's so good I think he should be making money of it or something. I really hope he gets into a studio or makes a "bigger" game so that he can get more exposure.

I was just about to try this out when I realized I don't have any 3D acceleration at all on this computer.  :(

I like it. I'm still not sure what happened. Is there a message to the story?

A computer whose installation or hardware doesn't allow video drivers to be installed without BSOD'ing.

I needed a new computer anyways, so I'm not going to bother reformatting to see if I can get things running.  My 'good' videocard died, you can read my blog about it.

I remember playing this a while back, it was discussed on one of 1up's many previous podcasts, and I love it. There was something about the experience that was completely fresh and interesting. Im not sure what it means, if its meant to be meant anything, but I know I loved it.

You are a spy and the rest is told without actual words, I guess one could say that the meaning has something to do with life and how you can't plan for everything that happens.

That's what were here for at Giantbomb. We're a gaming commune.

I didn't clock it, but when I played it, it felt like a couple of hours. I don't think that's very important. You get the idea, it's a short game.

Either you really suck, or this game doesn't last hours. I love games like this though, it's excellent.

Only played the first two levels so far.  Pretty interesting little game.  Don't understand what's going on necessarily, but it's funny as shit so far!!!


I'm interested in that Atom Zombie whatever game, though.  THAT looks cool!

I changed the description. I guess I savored every little bit of the game, and didn't "beat" it in 10 minutes, I kinda looked in every crevice and door, and I also got the secret invisible bike.

Interesting little game.
Are there only supposed to be two missions, though?
