Cute game, cute music, but I can't finish it because the traditional platforming sections keep ignoring my jump input and getting me killed

The controls in the gravity part are great - challenging but eventually manageable with practice, and getting the hang of them was the most fun part of this game. I could see this being developed further.

The gravity sections were fine, almost normal, it would be better if there were diferent kinds of traps that would match with the mechanic, like a spike box that falls in the same direction as you, but the traps must be confined in a specific room.

I dont think the platforming was good idea, it was not original or good, the game could has been better without it. If you would want to keep it, it should be as original or better than the gravity mechanic.

The aesthetics and the music was good, well done.

Nice idea, and the graphics are great. I think that the level design doesn't really benefit from the gravity switching mechanic. Also some portions feel unfair to play. I still enjoyed the game, keep up the good work :)

GravisSwitch Ups and Downs

Ups:

  • Nice graphics
  • Appealing audio that fits with the graphics
  • Moving by swapping the gravity is a really cool idea and feels awesome to use (made me think of something like a cross between VVVVVV and Super Mario Galaxy)

Downs:

  • I do wish there was a lot more of the moving by swapping gravity rather than the basic platforming. It's not necessarily something that is objectively wrong with the game, just a personal opnion
  • Some of the spike placement felt somewhat unfair due to the high speeds I could be going while swapping gravity. What would often happen is that I end up flying into a spike that I could not see and have no time to react to it
  • At some points in the traditional platforming sections, the character would not jump when I pressed the jump button

Overall, a fun little game and a really solid entry in this jam!
