2atk, 4atk, 6atk, 8atk, 10atk, altogether, 30 damage in 5 turns for 3 :gravity.
3atk, 6atk, 9atk, 12atk, 15atk, altogether 45 damage in 5 turns for 3 :gravity.

That's an average of 6|9 damage in those 5 turns for only 3 :gravity. I feel it needs at least +1 or +2 to summoning cost.

now compare that to graboid...

this is even more susceptible to CC, including soft CC that lobo's the card (it's an active ability)

It only gets stronger in the later turns, so it may get killed earlier and have only done 3 damage per turn average. Plus, it only lasts 5 turns without buffs, unlike most attackers.

I think it seems balanced, but the card text should have a description of what Acceleration/Overdrive does.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

I think just rewording acceleration/overdrive would do suffice:
Quote
Acceleration: This creature gains +2 / -1 per turn.
Quote
Overdrive: This creature gains +3 / -1 per turn.
Simple card, balanced and fits with Gravity. But the name...

This doesn't add anything to gravity that is doesn't already have.  If it does get added, gravity is only more susceptible to RT, and it will either overshadow or be overshadowed by Overdrive and acceleration .
