Gravity Blasters Blasts Off With Web3 Power and a New Identity

The popular real-time artillery shooter Space Mavericks has officially evolved into Gravity Blasters—a rebrand that’s more than just a name change. Under the guidance of rising web3 game publisher OYA Play, the game is entering a new galaxy of opportunity with revamped gameplay, fresh NFTs, and the launch of a Steam playtest in August 2025. Let’s break down what’s new, what’s coming, and why Gravity Blasters might be your next favorite blockchain game.

A Bold Rebrand With OYA Play at the Helm

Rebranding isn't unusual in gaming, but Gravity Blasters takes it to another level. By joining the OYA Play ecosystem, the game now benefits from a suite of AI-powered tools, enhanced community features, and cutting-edge blockchain integration.

OYA Play brings more than just a name tag—it’s reshaping the game’s identity. Updated visuals, refined gameplay mechanics, and deeper storytelling are all part of the package. The transition also positions Gravity Blasters as a frontrunner in the world of web3 gaming, ready to embrace the future of player-owned economies and community-driven development.

From Airdrops to $OYA Tokens

Good news for long-time Space Mavericks fans—your airdrops are safe. All previous airdrops will be converted automatically into $OYA tokens, the unified currency across OYA Play’s expanding ecosystem.

This seamless transition ensures early adopters retain their value while opening new doors for utility. Whether you're buying items, accessing special content, or staking for rewards, $OYA is your golden ticket to the OYA multiverse.

Say Hello to the New NFTs

As part of the rebrand, all existing NFTs from Space Mavericks will be replaced with upgraded Gravity Blasters NFTs. These won’t just be cosmetic changes. Expect NFTs that reflect the game’s new visual style, gameplay mechanics, and storyline.

This refresh keeps everything aligned and prepares the assets for future interoperability across OYA’s other titles. Stay tuned for more details on the NFT swap process—OYA Play promises a smooth transition for all holders.

Get Ready for the Steam Playtest in August 2025

Mark your calendars! Gravity Blasters is heading to Steam for its first public playtest in August 2025. It’s your chance to experience the fast-paced artillery battles, meet the new commanders, and blow up planets in real time.

The game will support up to 8 players per match in both team and free-for-all modes, complete with PvP and PvE options. Gravity, trajectory projection, and energy management make each match feel like a high-stakes chess game—with rockets.

Inside the Gravity Blasters Gameplay Loop

While the name has changed, Gravity Blasters still honors the core gameplay of its predecessor—real-time artillery combat that’s as skill-based as it is chaotic. Players must adjust their shots based on angle, power, and gravitational pull from nearby planets.

Gameplay highlights include:

• Fast-paced PvP and PvE matches

• Destructible planets and strategic terrain

• Energy management mechanics that reward smart play

• Ranked leaderboard system for competitive players

It’s the familiar thrill of artillery games, reimagined with space physics and modern web3 mechanics.

Meet the Commanders and Ships

Commanders are your avatars in battle—and each one brings a unique set of powers and ships to the arena. Some standout options include:

• DX7 – Heavy-hitter who knocks enemies clean off the map

• Goliath – A tanky beast who soaks up damage

• Salomea – Deals long-term energy damage and controls space

• Locus – A sniper who can fire through obstacles

• Lamp Head – Fires a barrage of shots for maximum chaos

Commanders level up over time, unlocking new powers, skins, and strategies. New characters and ships are added regularly, based on community feedback.

Strategic Depth With Advanced Features

Trajectory Projection helps players calculate where their shots will go before firing—a crucial tool when gravity’s involved. Combine that with energy management, and you’ve got a system that rewards tactical thinkers as much as sharpshooters.

Every action—from moving to shooting—costs energy. Run out, and you're a sitting duck. Mastering this resource adds a compelling layer of strategy to every match.

Adventure Mode Brings Story and Scale

Beyond the battlefield, Gravity Blasters offers an Adventure Mode, where players can take on massive bosses and explore a rich sci-fi universe. It’s here that the game’s lore truly shines—alien worlds, mysterious tech, and evolving enemies all create a deeper solo or co-op experience.

This mode adds narrative weight to your battles and offers a satisfying contrast to the multiplayer mayhem.
