Most will have seen the game I'm working on, which was called "Crazy Gravity" by the original author. I think the name hasn't aged well, or maybe I simply don't like it that much. Since I'll be making a title screen soon, I should consider an alternative name. Do you have some suggestions?
In this game, you control a triangular rocketship which flies around picking up and delivering packages. You will encounter various obstacles along the way such as magnets and barriers.
Players can challenge themselves to set records in speed, fuel economy and a "survivor" mode where the goal is to complete the level without crashing.
It sounds cool and science-fiction-y. And less characters is better on a small screen of course.
I'll definitely consider it. One disadvantage of a short name is that without any context, you don't know what the game is about. I think I would be happier with Gravis Express, Gravity Express or Galaxy Express.
The advantage of Gravis Express would be that I could treat it as a full title and refer to it as simply Gravis in other places.
Gravis also sounds cool as the name of a series. Like Steamworld
Galaxy Express has too much of a space miner/trader/long haul feel to it, so I trhink I will discard that one.
Maybe Antumbra? The third part of a shadow. The high contrast makes me think of photographs of the Apollo missions on the moon, and the lander helps too.
Different projects have different needs/styles, so for some it's really important not to give any hint of muppet adult video, while for others it's a non-issue. But FWIW, another portmanteau: Grovernight
