Interesting premise with a unique gravity gun mechanic that provides clever puzzles and satisfying challenges.
Great eerie atmosphere, aesthetic inspired by games like Limbo and Inside, supported by a beautiful and fitting soundtrack.
Smooth performance on various platforms for the most part and intuitive controls, especially praised on handheld devices.

Demo is very short with limited puzzle variety and minimal story or narrative depth, leaving a desire for expansion.
Some frustrating gameplay elements such as laggy or heavy jumping, occasional poor optimization, and some unfair deaths due to visibility or physics issues.
User interface and polish issues including spelling errors, unclear UI, and lack of clear demo indication which may cause some player frustration.

The gameplay features a unique gravity-manipulation mechanic that offers refreshing and satisfying puzzle challenges, though some find the puzzles frustrating or lacking depth and narrative. While it effectively introduces mechanics and draws clear inspiration from titles like Limbo and Inside, it sometimes falls short in combining elements into more complex or engaging gameplay. Overall, it delivers a solid puzzle-platforming experience with potential, supported by well-crafted level design.

- “Frustrating mechanic with puzzle sections that will likely kill you due to strange and unexpected game mechanics and last second or difficult visibility.”

The story in this puzzle platformer is minimal, with little narrative or backstory provided beyond a brief section at the end. Reviewers note a lack of depth and mystery, hoping the full release will expand the lore and offer a more engaging narrative to complement the gameplay.

- “The main mechanic involves traversing a path and solving puzzles, without any narrative explaining how you arrived at your location or any backstory.”

Optimization for the game is mixed, with flawless performance reported on SteamOS and Arch Linux, even from a micro SD card, but poor frame rates on devices like the Steam Deck, sometimes dropping as low as 9 fps. This causes issues with puzzles and controls, indicating the game requires better optimization or a more powerful gaming setup for smooth play.
- “Performance was flawless on SteamOS (Arch Linux), even running off a micro SD card.”
- “I completed the game demo on Steam Deck and experienced dropped frames as low as 9 fps and maxing out at 30 fps (not a big deal for a puzzle game), but it definitely needs some optimization. Overall, it was fun and I'd recommend Gravitia to try out, but you'll need a beefy gaming setup to avoid dropped frames.”
- “Optimization is poor. Although there aren't many objects to render, the framerate is very low, which negatively impacts puzzles and controls.”
