    Plays like Kula World / Roll Away for Playstation except ball is replaced with astronaut. You jump, collect some green bits and activate switches but there's a twist, when getting close to the ledge you can move to the side of block and flip whole gravity along with the player. Each stage is time limited so keep that in mind also make sure to avoid collecting time capsules as they decrease time. Game have whooping 210 stages so it will definitely take a while to finish. Level design is ok and…

    I initially thought this was going to be a bit like Kula World (a PS1 puzzle game where you play a ball traversing platforms in 3D with no favoured direction for "down") but it was not exactly like that. No matter. I liked the aesthetic and loved the idea of an astronaut exploring a platforming system in 3D where one has to change perspective to find the next correct place to jump, explore, and activate buttons - so as to activate the exit and head through it to complete the level. What I…

    I had just began to play today but the game seems to have a great potential. The level creator is not so hard to master but, because it was made with unity, you must change you control key via a little menu that appear when you launch the game. This game remember to me an other old game that was nammed "Kula world" so if this game tell you something go buy the game since he only cost less than 2 euros :).

    A Gravity Shifting Puzzle-Platformer in Space https://youtu.be/SUCvbVjW77k + Interesting mechanics where you can walk up (or down) walls, and essentially rotate gravity (as if your shoes were magnetic and you were in space) +Nice soundtrack + The puzzles themselves are very unique you are supposed to press a button or two to open a hatch and then jump through it, but the buttons and hatch are often in very obscure hard to get places. + Very challenging, it will like make your head hurt as your…

    The game was kind of fun for the first 10 levels, but ultimately, and rapidly, no, No, NO, AbsoLUTEly N-O!! The view is beyond obnoxiously hard to navigate through, and then on top of that, the controls are among the worst I've ever used, and on top of THAT, there's a bloody timer that makes the game VERY much NOT fun! When you HAVE TO explore the whole bloody arena to figure out what to do BUT you simply don't have enough time, the game loses any points/stars it might have had coming. First!…

    Why the timer? The game requires you to pause and scope out your environment but then punishes you for taking too long. then you have to start over, go to the point where you died, and continue to figure it out. The timer just gets in the way. I can understand a Time trial mode though, or maybe a free-view mode where the timer stops.

    This game began as a simple looking little puzzle game and slowly developed into a more complex version. I feel as if I would not be able to complete this as I would become frustrated and burn my pc. All in all this game seems fun yet it needs to work on smoother controls as jumping was difficult and turning was very fast.

    It was fun for a little bit, but then it started to get repetitive and boring. If you want a game that is a puzzle based stategy game then get this, but if you have a short attention span then do not get this or if you dont like playing games that is repetitive.

    What a clever game. In Vertigo Void, you control a little spaceman who needs escape from the expanding sun. This is done by walking, jumping, and being flung across the outside of your ship, hitting buttons to open the hatch, then diving in and zipping away. The challenges in this game are fresh and clever, their variety keeping things interesting, and the graphics and soundtrack are pleasant to the senses. Gameplay generally consists of failing a few times when you first reach a new level…

    Vertigo Void is probably the most charming puzzle game I've come across on Steam so far. The graphics are pixelated but still have a refined feel to them, something you don't get in many Unity games right now. The game handles the combination of puzzles and platforming very well. It puts you into a situation I'm sure at least a few of us thought of as kids: What if we were isolated in space away from our ship, on The Sun? You must remember the layout of the level and use the odd rules of…

    Vertigo Void is an inventive three-dimensional puzzle-platformer that challenges players to reconsider traditional concepts of gravity, movement, and environmental navigation. Developed by James de Silva and Matthew Sanders and published by Merge Publishing, the game follows an astronaut attempting to escape a dangerous cosmic environment filled with increasingly complicated obstacles. Its central appeal lies in combining unconventional movement mechanics with demanding spatial puzzles,…

    Wonderful puzzles, craptons of content (210 levels), adorable little spaceman, what more do you want? an actual spaceship so he can escape this mortal danger? You serious?

    I'll be honest, I'm not as big on puzzle games as I was as a kid and I will probably not end up getting 3 Stars/Perfect on levels but I still love this game, mainly because it is basically a new version of the PS1 classic Kula World (or Roll Away for you Americans). Simple mechanics of moving on each block and then the game puts you into the third dimension with walking around blocks and taking leaps of faith.

    Tags: Casual - Flinger & Object Routes Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Unity engine grid-based 3D shape navigation game. Reach end tile to win. Insanely boring. Do not like the level design, and presentation of levels blocks floating in the middle of nowhere. Control of camera and issuing jumps and navigating change of gravity all felt like an unwanted, and unsatisfying chore to execute. Advertised as a platformer but movement is entirely grid based. You…

    A very simplistic, yet a very fun and complex 3D puzzler. It requires you to have a high attention span in order to complete the increasingly difficult levels.

    Clever little puzzler, with some unique mechanics I haven't really seen in any other game. Relies on your memory and spatial reasoning to make sense of each level Good stuff.

    love this little game for several reasons: 1: As a puzzle solver this game is pretty good the levels get progressivly harder which you would expect but the time constraints make it harder for those that want a challenge to get the level complete with the extra pickups. 2: Graphics wise it may not be the best but that is not what this game is about its about challenging yourself so if graphics are a selling point for you then thats a shame 3: the levels are designed very well including the fact…
