I've compiled quite a large list of games I'd like to make now so I just decided to start on the one I wanted to make the most right now. That game is 'Gravity Game' (name subject to change).



I felt like the platforming sections in the side-scroller parts of Super Mario Galaxy were under-explored, or at least, could be explored further. I'd like to see what I can do with this idea.

The film 'Patema Inverted' was also an inspiration. The way they both rely on each other to 'stay afloat' is a super nice metaphor for their relationship.







I've spent about 3 hours so far trying to make the platforming feel nice and implementing the gravity changing areas. This 'level' is merely a place to test things out, it won't be in the actual game =P.

I have an awesome plan for the aesthetic of this game but it'll be difficult to implement.

 You might be able to guess where I'm going already

PS. this is not the final art style. This is programmer art =P
