Let me know your ideas, comments, and criticisms

I loved the Portal games, and this one scratches the same itch. Maybe this is the game to try your hand in some COOP multiplayer. ;-) I am hoping for a full version with a few more puzzles and a cake.

Indeed this was also inspired after playing portal multiplayer, an awesome game with awesome puzzles. It’s actually difficult to find a game mechanic that’s similar to portal in terms of puzzle conplexity or finesse. I had the basic idea no gravity would bring some twist, but in this first attempt I could not find that unique mechanic that allows to create those amzing puzzles.

I think if you add more gravity manipulation options, things can get very interesting. I am thinking:

  • increase/decrease gravity by certain amounts instead of just having it as an on/off switch
  • interesting for coop: a terminal where one player can control gravity, but has to stay there, while the other player has to solve the parcour. the player at the console can watch the other player through a window or cameras and has to change gravity in certain ways so the other player can pass obstacles or solve tasks
  • external forces like wind that can change your direction midflight, and you have to dodge or utilize them
  • objects that get pushed around by those external forces and are affected by gravity
