Gravity Shift

Gravity-tight platform puzzler in space!

This is a short 2D puzzle-platformer game with 1-button gravity-tight game mechanic.

You play as Cosmo the cosmonaut and navigate through levels by solving puzzles with the use of gravity shifting.

This is a short game as it is made for a jam: https://itch.io/jam/didzis-game-jam-1

Controls

• spacebar key - to shift gravity upwards or downwards
• left mouse button - to click the only button in the title screen

Features

• button-door system - I made my own button-door partner system for handling triggers conveniently
  • the button and door shares the same parent Node2D, then you can setup them easily by just moving the individual components, i.e. button and door, throughout the map
    • you can either keep the parent's global position remain to Vector2.ZERO for consistency and simply move the components around;
    • or move them altogether with the parent node's position nearby, so when editing countless doors/portals you can immediately distinguish which is which as its parent's pivot is highlighted when selected for editing
• 1-button mechanic - the player control is limited to spacebar key only
• transitions - with the use of shaders and tweens we got seamless level changing
