Cargo! The Quest For Gravity: Difference between revisions

''Cargo! The Quest For Gravity'' is a PC game taking place in a colorful, low-gravity world where lots of important Earth landmarks have floated off into the stratosphere. The only way to get them back is to imbue them with Fun, a resource harvested from cute little creatures called the Buddies. As trainee mechanic Flawkes, the player must build increasingly complex vehicles to take the Buddies for rides in order to get Fun with which to keep things like Big Ben, the Statue of Liberty, and the Large Hadron Collider from floating off into space.

* [[Gainax Ending]]: Sure, the whole game is weird, but it's a silly kind of weird. The ending is just... ''confusing''.

* [[Let's Play]]: A still ongoing one by the [[Freelance Astronauts]]. [http://www.youtube.com/user/SAMaxwellAdams#p/c/C4B4E77691BE4E06 Start here.]

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Flawkes, who occasionally wonders aloud why she's surrounded by morons.

* [[Punny Name]]: The Egg-Plant.

* [[Sky Pirates]]: The Captain at least dresses and [[Talk Like a Pirate|talks]] like a pirate, though he seems to be more of a Sky Deliveryman in terms of what he actually does.

* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: Across Winter and Spring, due to Flawkes [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|dumping a glacier into the ocean]].

* [[Steampunk]]: Not strictly speaking, but it borrows some of the "goggles and gears" aesthetic.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]] / [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: The Buddies. You can go around kicking them and letting them die in the various scrapes their curiosity gets them into, or you can take them for joyrides and throw dance parties.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]]: Too hard on the Buddies? {{spoiler|Hope you enjoy spending the rest of your life as particles of FUN.}}

* [[Wrench Wench]]: Flawkes, naturally.
