General Commentary and Game Overview
A challenging if frustrating game revolving around gravity gimmicks. It is mediocre in graphics and sound and its replay value is hindered by the puzzliness of the levels, but that cannot diminish the wonderful challenge and gameplay.
 
Pros -not glitchy!
-innovative gravity engine
-certainly not too easy
-fun when not frustrating
 
Cons -can be overly frustrating in its difficulty, especially in later levels
-no storyline whatsoever
-no powerups in the traditional sense
 
Impressions
Gameplay
9 / 10
An innovative, glitchless engine revolving around platforming puzzles requiring you to switch between gravity modes:
-Normal: you jump a normal height, everything's the way you expect. you start out in this mode, and can return to it by hitting a block that blinks at medium speed.
-High: hit a fast-blinking block and you can't jump high but do massive damage to what you land on
-Low: hit a slowly blinking block to jump high and land slow.
-0G: hit the block that doesn't blink and you get infinite jump height and can walk right off the side of a ledge and keep going through the air, but you can't go down till you hit a ceiling, bad around spiky ceilings.
 
Graphics
4 / 10
meh. Repeating underground tilesets are boring, and everyone's seen these SMAS sprites a zillion times before
 
Sound
4 / 10
one repeating background tune and a few basic sound effects everyone's heard before. need I say more?
 
Replay
6 / 10
holds your attention till the end unless you get too stuck and give up, but you won't put yourself through the frustrating stress again unless you have the serious skills needed to get all the optional red coins in each level.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
A challenging if frustrating game revolving around gravity gimmicks(not in the style of Mario Galaxy) which is hindered by presentation issues, but I only put one point's worth of stock in presentation, if at all.

First,you say hard can be fun.
then you say it gets frustrating for it's difficulty.
i don't get what your saying.
