Running against the timer in a destroyed world with only your gravity-controlling suit and gun. This is a game prototype to test the concept of speedrunning while messing around with gravity. I took up this project to improve upon my level design and system design skills along with making a fun game to speedrun, somewhat akin to Karlson or Portal. Controls Due to lack of time (this being a semes…

The gameplay is characterized by fun mechanics and a unique gravity manipulation system, though levels are relatively simple and designed for low speeds, which can be easily broken by players who master the mechanics. While the depth of the mechanics is limited, they provide a satisfying challenge and high input gameplay, especially when optimizing for speed. However, the physics-based nature can lead to randomness in achieving good times, requiring players to experiment until they find the right timing and execution.
- “Once you understand and get a hang of the mechanics, it's pretty fun to play.”
- “A pretty fun and challenging game with a unique gravity manipulation mechanic.”
- “Has a really steep difficulty curve but once you wrap your mind around the mechanics and timings, you literally can zoom through the levels at terminal velocity.”
- “The only real critique I have is that since the mechanics are physics-based, it makes going for a good time feel pretty random, as you kind of just have to throw attempts at the wall until everything happens to line up perfectly.”
- “The mechanics are also not that deep, though they're just fine for how short the game is. Theoretically, you can pull off some quite crazy stuff, and what is there makes for some really high inputs per second gameplay when trying to optimize.”
- “Has a really steep difficulty curve, but once you wrap your mind around the mechanics and timings, you literally can zoom through the levels at terminal velocity.”
