1.2.5 UPDATE

  • New pause menu with mouse support (Yes, I know it took me forever)
  • Finding the secret is easier now (nobody has found it so I thought I might as well make it easier, but only a bit easier, I’m not that ice)
  • Fixed a bug that would reset your score to zero (not that many people care about score, but some people do!).
  • Tweaked the jump so you can hop more easily (I like jumping).
  • Now when you are in the teleporter at the end of level, the time bonus stops going down (IDK why I didn't fix that earlier).
  • Fixed a bug that makes the time bonus go to -1, now it doesn't go below zero (Yup, I fixed it).
  • Small tweaks to level 2's final section (not that many people will replay it XD).
  • Added a "how to play" placeholder option in the pause menu (I want to tease you, not to give nice things).
  • Added translation for the text that says “This option is not available yet.” (I can only imagine all those confused non English speakers).
  • Removed the save level feature due to too many bugs and too much laziness to fix them.
  • Removed colors from the credits menu (why? Don’t worry, you won’t go there very often anyways).

v1.2.6 UPDATE (Emergency update)

  • Fixed issue in level 4 when failing to hit the switches with the laser while crouching. (this actually makes level 4 kind of annoying to play) 
  • Added new particle effects to the Super Flip.

me sorprende que el menú este en español.

El  juego está traducido al tres idiomas, y se puede cambiar el idioma en las opciones. Gracias por jugar :)

no cambie el idioma, asĂ­ que asumo que se cambio por alog del programa

Es automático, pero se puede cambiar manualmente tambiĂ©n.

Nice game! Any plans for a Linux build, not sure how well GameMaker handles that.

Glad you like it! Sorry, I need Linux to make a Linux version, I would 100% do it if I have a resources tho. 

No worries. I asked since I was having issues getting gamepad to work in browser. I figured out what the issue was, was something on my end, not the game.

Glad you figured it out, the browser versions are a bit completed to make in Gamemaker.

A rating would appreciated, btw. Thanks for playing.

I left a rating. Well deserved 5 stars. Short but very enjoyable!

Nice, that's a good time, I think I should add my records in the game's page so people feel challenged xd. 

That’s a neat idea. What’s your time?


Sorry for the late respond.

I made a linux version some time ago, if you want to try it and tell me how it runs, let me know :)

I have had the privilege of watching the development of this game almost since the beginning. It's really incredible watching how far this game has come, and I can honestly say that it was a blast being able to play it.

This game derives its inspiration from Metal Storm, one of the many obscure gems of the NES released long ago that never quite got the attention it deserved. Gravity Storm derives its mechanic from this game to create different puzzles and challenges that keep the gameplay fresh.

I played the game on Hard mode, and my impression is that the challenge felt a bit uneven at points - many places didn't feel harder than Normal, while a few sections were definitely a bit challenging. I think this mode could have benefited from things like enhanced enemy AI as opposed to just more damage. But I didn't just blast through the levels - there was some solid coordination between controls required to succeed, which made for a fun challenge.

This game sits at a solid 4.5 stars - the only thing that holds it back from a full 5 stars for me are some minor details like an occasional typo, a few sprites that feel unfinished (such as the explosion animations), the single music track that plays in all the levels, and the short length. I do think that the gravity mechanic could have been utilized just a bit more - think zones where gravity changes/reduces, or enemies that use gravity switching as a mechanic as well for more challenge. But these are quite minor overall - Gravity Storm is an awesome game that I would definitely recommend to other people. I know Jampley is making a sequel, and I can't wait to see what comes out of that.

Thank you for your review :)

Amazing

Was a really enjoyable experience, very polished with a nice graphical update. Will look forward to if we see more from Gravity Storm, Id love a full game of this. Keep working at it!

It's very good, the only thing that has some bugs, like when you pass the level you still have the health of the previous level, but other than that it's very good

Actually, it is intended to work that way xd, I just never thought it was an issue because you can always get health pick-ups. I guess I can change it if enough people complain about it, but the game is supposed to take place in a single location without actual breaks in between. Thanks for playing!!!
