Demo Version: Play through the first section of Department of Gravity management, while also getting to experiment with all gravity abilities in "Bounce Mode".

Control gravity, control the station. In this 3D Puzzle Platformer, you get to change gravity to solve physics-based puzzles. Meet your quotas, gain new abilities, and free the station from the oversight of the Newton Corporation.

• Change Gravity: Activate gravity panels, cylinders, and spheres to change the gravity around you in different ways.  Use these to move Newtonium to reactors throughout the level.  Once you meet your quota, you can move on to the next level.

• Walk on Walls: You can use the gravity panels to push and pull yourself in different directions.  Walk on the walls and ceilings.  Fly through the air.  Navigate the levels in creative ways.  Just be careful not to fly into the Newtonium reactors.

• Fun with Physics: Send objects into orbit with fully simulated physical forces.  Anything not nailed down is affected by gravity changes, so have fun experimenting with how the different gravity panels affect objects in the game.  And of course, since you control the gravity, you can pick up and throw anything, no matter how big.

• New Abilities: Gain new gravity-based abilities as you progress, creating new ways to navigate the world and solve puzzles.  You can create your own gravity panels, pull objects to yourself and then throw them across the room, and even slow time to consider your next move.  You'll need these abilities to navigate the levels and free the station from the oversight of the Newton Corportation.

• Different Game Modes: What if instead of boxes you had to use bouncy balls?

Background

The discovery of Newtonium in the last half of the 21st century changed the world.  It's ability to create gravitational fields revolutionized space flight, energy production, and the material sciences.  And while the material was relatively rare around Earth, it turned out to be abundant in seemingly empty space a few light years away.  This should have ushered in an age of peace and prosperity for all humanity. 

However, the Newton Corporation quickly gained a monopoly over the newly developed mining stations.  Gravity became just another commodity to be sold.  It's believed it was Newton Corp's CEO, Dominik Franco, who coined the phrase "Control gravity, control the world".

Present Day

In the 200 years since Newtonium's discovery, the mining stations have grown in both productive capacity and population.  They've developed into their own cultures and communities.  However, the Newton Corporation has maintained control through the use of layers of AI protocols that run the critical systems on the stations.  This ensures the steady flow of Newtonium back to Earth.  You've just arrived at station 1031-B to start work in it's Department of Gravity Management.

A.R.M.O.N.D. is a middle manager AI who will guide you in your new job.  He is very focused on meeting the Newtonium processing quotas.  But he doesn't seem to be telling you everything, especially about the mysterious circumstances under which your predecessor died.  Find your way through the reactor chambers to gain new abilities, discover what happened to your predecessor, and maybe help free the station.
