Project Inversion: A Gravity-Bending Puzzle Platformer
Project Inversion is a 2.5D puzzle platformer experiment set in the vast expanse of space. The unique twist? You control gravity! Initially envisioned as a global gravity control system, the gravity mechanic was refined into a radial system, allowing you and your fellow space explorers to manipulate gravity in localized zones.
Master the Pull
Manipulate objects and yourself within your gravitational field, strategically solving puzzles and navigating treacherous environments. Utilize a handy grappling gun to independently maneuver your character and defy the very forces you command.
Behind the Mechanics
The development process delves deep into the physics of the game's core features. The grappling system prioritizes realistic physics before visual aesthetics, ensuring a seamless gameplay experience. For the rope rendering, a blend of Bezier curves and a hidden joint chain creates a believable rope that reacts naturally to gravity and the environment.
