Update 1.6 brings Halloween costumes!

This update brings you two new costumes so you can dress up for Halloween!

Which one will you choose, zombie or skeleton?

Also added more shortcuts to the game, you can press your jump key to confirm buttons (default jump key is space), so you don't need to reach for your mouse just to press "play again" button and so on. Also use Esc key to navigate back through menus or to pause/unpause the game.

One button game. This is clearly an Android or an iPhone port. You have to slide the menus as you would slide them on your phone (there's no arrows, no scrolling bars, nothing).

The graphics are really basic, theres only 1 soundtrack in-game and it's not that good. It took me 2 hours 20 minutes to finish the game 100% so the $2 USD price is quite accurate for the amount of content.

The game was fun for the first 30 minutes, then it became way to grindy and repetitive. I was feeling really bored on the last Goal because it takes so long to complete. There's only 1 variety of enemies (fireballs), the planets either go slow or fast and the planets either orbit left or right. It's really missing variety for a pc game.

Personally, I dislike this game, it is ok for a short occasional play session, but that's about it.

Ever need to come home and just veg? But not veg in a completely passive This game is very non stressful. Its a one button platformer. It has pleasing graphics, a main character with an awesome beard, and a set of 40 goals. I just put on some Deadmau5 and zoned for an afternoon. A nice pleasing way to spend an afternoon.

Timing is everything in this simple-concept platformer. The object is to jump from one spinning planet to the next, while picking up as much junk as you can in between. You can spend your junk (screws and stuff) on upgrades to make the jumps a little easier and more effective at picking up more junk.

The graphics are cute, the music is bubbly, and the gameplay is really excellent. You'll catch on right away but mastering the jump angles and timing between planets, which are different sizes and rotate at different speeds and often in different directions, is a bit trickier and what makes Beyond Gravity worth playing.

Addictive and really fun. This is the perfect casual game to steal quick little breaks in between other stuff you need to be doing instead.

This is a simple but enjoyable platformer whose primary gameplay mechanic is that you have to time your jump between rotating planets so you get all the screws in between. As you get more consecutive screws your multiplier increases and so does your scoring.

That's basically the gist of it but its fun while you try to get all the achievements and 100% the game so well recommended to those that like that. Once you do that you'll probably never come back to it but that's alright.

Fairly priced for what it is.

Cute, cheap, funny and relaxing little game! It's true that is "one click game", but anyway, I liked it a lot. Also is good catch for achievement hunters, all achievements can be done in less then 3h. My recommendations...

It's such a simple game, and enjoyable at the same time.
Keep jumping and get those screws, but don't "screw up", if you know what i mean.
I hope the developers will add some new features.

Fun, charming, and relaxing lil' game. Nowhere else have I see this type of joy that can be bought with 2 dollars; except maybe throwback sodas.

I don't recommend this game for three reasons. One, not enough variety; two, the shop prices feel too high; three, there's little sense of risk.

The gameplay involves jumping from planet to planet while collecting screws and dodging fireballs that travel up and down. That's a nice foundation, but it's all there is. If you can line yourself up and time your jumps properly, you can go on for dozens of minutes in a single run and not see anything new besides planets, screws, and the occasional group of fireballs. It would have been nice to see different types of obstacles, planets, or powerups, especially once you survive past the first few minutes.

My first run lasted around twenty minutes, and I managed to collect around 10,000 screws. Not bad, right? Actually, that was barely enough to buy the cheapest item at the shop, and all it did was increase my jump speed slightly. Most items cost at least 40,000 screws, which equates to over an hour of playtime at my speed. When you consider how repetitive the gameplay can be, that feels way too long.

There are optional challenges you can complete, but I've gone through around 50% of them, and so far the payouts don't seem to exceed 1,000 - 2,000 screws. Maybe the later ones are better, but some of them are rather tedious (play 30 games), and you can only pursue three at a time. Keep in mind that most of the shop items themselves- jump faster, attract screws from father away, increase your score multiplier- aren't anything exciting, in my opinion.

You press the left mouse button to set your angle, then release to jump. You can cancel a jump by holding down the left mouse button long enough, so there's no sense of commitment when you pick an angle. As the speed of the planets and fireballs increases, you can repeatedly cancel angles that look bad without any apparent penalty (unless I'm missing something). It makes me wonder what will kill patient, precise players first: the fireballs, or boredom?

Now, I bought this for $1, so you could argue I'm being awfully nitpicky at that price point, and I don't entirely disagree. Still, I think Beyond Gravity really lacks a sense of longevity. If more gameplay elements- planet types, obstacle types, powerups- were added, I'd consider changing my stance, but as of this writing I don't recommend it.

Beyond Gravity's store page does not LIE, per se, but it makes some real stretching-the-truth claims. Calling this a "one button procedurally generated platformer" is sort of stretching a few of those: when you boot it for the first time, it will become clear you're playing a touchscreen mobile title thrown onto Steam haphazardly*, and the entire purpose of the game is "collect space debris to upgrade yourself with powerups", as you leap between constantly-revolving planets, trying to dodge obstacles and leap at just the right time to continue your chain of screw-grabbing without breaking the combo (so you get more parts per cog).

The problem is, claiming this "doesn't get repetitive" is a lie. It's just "click, click, wait, click, click in midair because you have a double jump and need to adjust course, wait, click, wait, wait, click, click..." ad nauseum. As well, you're going to be playing A LOT of abortive runs to get the first powerup. I did about 8 rounds and was only at ~3500 of the minimum-10k currency you need for your first powerup. They get more expensive. If you want something to just zone out with and relax here and there, that's great, this is a great game at the price. I was hoping for something a little more challenging, not just a time-killer.

* I don't care if a game comes from mobile, but I do care when you do it so, so poorly. There's no "quit" button, so god help you if you play fullscreen. You need to force-quit the title. Also, menus have no scrollbar and barely respond to a scrollwheel. You're going to be dragging the menu if you want to do anything, always a fun time when you use a mouse.

I bought this just because it was on sale, not thinking it'd actually be fun, but this game really surprised me. My first thought was "just another crappy mobile port". Only -- it is not. This game is actually fun to play!

It is still a mobile port, as evident in the one button gameplay, but the levels are procedurally generated meaning no two runs are exactly the same. As you become more and more skilled it becomes easier and easier to collect pickups, which is reflected in the in-game "store" (upgrade menu) costing more and more to unlock the good stuff.

An excellent game to waste a little -- or a lot -- of time with.

"Beyond Gravity" is a simple but polished 1-button-game.

You have to move along turning planets, using the jump button at the right time to not fall into endless space, evade fireballs and collect screws and nuts so you can purchase upgrades.

Unlike the description says, the game gets boring rather quickly as it is very repetitive and the only difficulty is to stay focused.

Though it certainly isn't a very good game and you can find much better flash games for free, you can easily complete all achievements in 2-3 hours and young kids should have some fun. If it's reduced to 1$ or less, I recommend this game.

True that this is a one button game. You jump from planet to planet collecting screws and dodging fireballs. Very simple and easy. It is also entertaining. Really enjoyed the game while it lasted. Had fun trying to get all achievements. Unfortunately, once you get the achievements, the game looses its purpose. Why keep playing it if you have nothing else to achieve? If there's no end? It can be a good time killer or become boring very fast. Paid 1 buck for the game and got 3 cards plus 40 achievements. I believe it's worth, especially because I did have 5 hours of fun. Hope they add more achievements, even if it's through a DLC. I would definitely buy it.

A casual, stress-free, one-button looper that's a decent bit of fun. It cost 99 cents (less the 37 cents I recouped from selling the cards), 40 achievements to increase the perfect game library, high scores to chase for the three skills in the game and about a 50mb download. I can see myself coming back to this from time to time.

There is absolutely no purpose to this game, other than having fun.

There are 40 goals to do (completing each one gives you an achievement), but only 3 are active at any one time.

If you like 100% achievements, this is an easy game to get them in. But mostly, it's just fun!
