Cool game loved the gravity mechanic

Nice game, but the gravity system felt weird having to move for it to take effect, other than that good  job.

I got the cheese! Nice idea. Even though it seems to be a bug, I actually really liked how "time stopped" after changing gravity, before taking a step. I felt like it gave me a good chance to target my fall. Nice game

Cute little game. Short and sweet. I don't know if it was just me but I did notice that the changed gravity wouldn't affect me until I moved, but it's only a minor bug and didn't detract from it.

Thank you so much for playing and replying! The bug you're experiencing was due to a 'bandaid' fix of mine where, for whatever reason and that is probably my fault, the player character would not climb slopes despite having a rounded collider and using move_and_slide so, instead, the Y velocity (gravity) is set to zero once the player is detected to be on the floor, conflicting with the check for when the player is able to switch gravity.

I suppose in hindsight it may have been better to have just allowed to player to switch gravity mid-air. It wouldn't have been what I had wanted to do but doing that would most likely have no bugs as there evidently are now.

Don't worry it wasn't major, we all do these quick fixes in gamejams and make bugs doing so, I was just lucky this time mine crept under the radar. If you try hard enough you can find them :D

Neat beginnings. That asset pack is gorgeously used here, and there's a lot of potential here for an engaging longer game. Great submission!

Thank you so much for playing! I'll definitely update and expand the game a bit in my free time after ratings are finished for the game jam and once I crush a few bugs that had halted my progress.

Thanks a lot for your time :>

I finished it and I'm not quite sure how the gravition should work and I feel like I cheated the game :D but the overall vibe is nice!

In the theme rotating the gravity :).

An auto respawn instead of hitting R would have been nice because I was wondering if the game bugged or not ^^'.

Thank you so much for playing and thank you for the useful feedback :>
