About This Game

Instructions

• Flip gravity to move objects, enemies, and obstacles
  
• Rescue cats on each level
  
• Collect all hearts for a perfect score
  
• Keep Q.P.I.D. juiced with charging stations

Hazards & Helpers

• LOLLIDROPS aren't tasty — they're nasty. These mines will explode when you get near, but they won't be triggered by swapping gravity.
  
• HEARTACHERS demand their personal space; get too close to these shuffling scorpions, and they'll zap you. They also devour hearts!
  
• BEAM UPS shoot deadly laser light straight out when they're activated — but you can flip their switches when you flip the gravity.
  
• WUVLIES make their way the only way they know how: End over end. You can blast these flipping foes, but beware — shortly after being incapacitated, they explode!
  
• BIG CRUSHERS do exactly what their name implies: They crush (on) you big time. Don't get trapped beneath them!
  
• HEARTIANS attack in swarms when disturbed and slow you down, so be ready to blast them all before they reach you.
  
• SPEED ROLLERS give you a turbo boost. Walk through a light-blue column and get ready for a rapid ride!
  
• BOUNCE PADS put a spring in your step, sending you skyward when shifting gravity might have some negative effects.
  
• TETHERS automatically collect nearby hearts. Avoid entering dangerous spaces just by tugging on these heartstrings.

Gameplay Hints

• Q.P.I.D. might fall faster or slower than some of the enemies and obstacles. Use that to sneak past them during gravity shifts.
  
• Sometimes flipping gravity will put hearts right in the path of a Heartacher. Look for alternate locomotion paths like bounce pads and speed rollers to avoid that risk.
  
• Lollidrops can't be destroyed by blasting them, but they can be deflected with a barrage of shots. Use this to create opportunities to sneak past them.
