Gravity Bender

What if there was a platformer where you can't jump? Twist and bend the forces of gravity to power through some puzzle rooms!


(keyboard) controls:

WASD: Move

arrow keys: Change gravity direction


(controller) controls:

Left Stick or DPad: Move

Right Stick or face buttons: Change gravity direction


When gravity can be changed, the gravity arrow will be green. If gravity cannot be changed (it can only be changed while on the ground) the gravity arrow will be a dim red, a "fail" sfx will play if you try to change gravity when its unable to be changed



enter "door": press up button (W or DPad up/LStick up) while gravity is going downwards


note: doors will change colour to keep them easy to spot!


Gimmicks:

moving platforms: They move left-to-right, up-and-down (or both at once), they're not harmful and will give you a sweet ride to their destination!

gravity check blocks: These blocks only allow access if the player's gravity direction martches the arrow on the sprites, they will be transparent if they're allowing access, and opaque if they aren't.


gravity swappers: They will reverse the gravity on the axis the player has when collided with, so going left means the new gravity direction will be right, going up means the new direction will be down and vice versa.
