TL:DR: Feels like a mix of the original Prey, Portal, and oddly enough, space engineers (aesthetics only). Voice acting is good and the guy sounds like Tommy Wiseau from the room. Cracked me up. Puzzles are pretty good and range from simple to slightly challenging. Love the manipulation of gravity to solve the puzzles. Graphics are grey, dingy and a bit boring. Good game for the price. First Impression Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqqZgE3NmuU&t=3s Ever play the 2006 Prey? I always loved how that game manipulated gravity. I'm glad to see another game take that concept and make a puzzle game, as it makes quite a fun experience. Right off the bad, the game treats you to a narrirator who sounds a bit like Tommy Wiseau. Found that quite amusing. Anyways, the the meat of the game involves relocating cubes. You take a cube from one spot, and find a way to get it to another. Its the in-between bits where the puzzling takes place. I quite enjoyed the experience, as ...

If you liked portal, antichamber or polarity, I can guarantee that this game will not dissapoint you. Gimbal Gravity is a cool puzzle solving game which challenges your wit and wisdom at every stage of the game. It jumps straight to the point of puzzle solving while also introducing a story which really adds a lot to the atmosphere of the game. The puzzles are diverse and increasingly challenging. You will find that some levels feel like pushovers while you have the potential of spending ages trying to solve a specific puzzle. There will be times of frustration when you can't solve a puzzle. And there will be times of joy when you finally complete the level, spiced with the frustration of your own stupidity. You have to be flexible. I once thought I had solved a level and tried for 20 minutes to make the solution work through acrobatic prowess, only to discover that I could just walk to my destination. :D And once I had solved a level only to fall of my platform in front of the exit...
Good first person puzzle platformer. The main game mechanic is being able to change your personal gravity direction by walking on curved pads between your current floor and a wall, so once you walk across the pad, what was the wall is now your floor, and your gravity is pointing down towards the new floor. There are a series of puzzle chambers (levels), and the aim of each one is to get to the exit. Sometimes doors (to the level exit, or to another room within the chamber) may be locked, and there is a mechanism of placing powered cubes on what are effectively switches to open the door. There are a couple other mechanics: I mentioned already cubes as a means of activating switches, but the cubes can also be used as platforms to reach places you couldn't otherwise. The cubes can also be placed on special floaty platforms, pushing the platform slightly in the direction of the cube's gravity. Oh yeah, cubes also have their own direction of gravity (which never changes, even if your ow...
This game is really good - a fun and innovative puzzle game. Maybe too expensive for 6$ (I bought it for less than one buck). It reminds me SolarGun, another indie puzzle game with many good features. I guess that it could be a little bit more improved because controls are not always smooth as expected - especially jump on cube. I don't like the main aesthetic - too gray. It could be really better. However the main gameplay is amazing and addictive. It deserves more ratings. I recommend Gimbal Gravity ++
Great puzzle platformer with mostly light puzzles, with some medium to hard puzzles at the end. Play time for me was 4 hours, and that included getting stuck on a few levels by overthinking the solution. The puzzle aspect is figuring out how to connect the givers and receivers and how to reach the exit. Most of the time, you can figure it out relatively quickly, but some levels definitely make you think about it, especially when you reach the gravity resetter pads. The last level was particularly sneaky. I don't know why some people compare this to Portal or say it tries to copy Portal. Other than both games being first-person puzzle-platformers which contain cubes, I see no similarities (other than both games being great fun). The only change I would like to see is the ability to run. Some levels (especially the last level) can include a lot of walking, especially if you're unsure of the solution, and that can be frustrating. All-in-all, I definitely recommend this to anyone ...
I played the all game, and to me it feels like it starts so slow. The start is too slow and annoying but the end is nice and fun. I think that untill the third gimbal there are not a lot of puzzles and most of them require more platforming skills than puzzle solving. The platforming was not fun enough, because it didnt feel smooth enough. The puzzles in the third gimbal though were fun and entartaining and i was fine with buckle through the annoying platforming at part for it. Summary: its more of a technical demo and the price is fine for that. The last 7 puzzles are fine but before that the tutorials are hard on platforming and easy puzzles which is not fun at all (the first and second gimbal were an annoyance) You tried to copy a bit too much from portal and its a bit too bad... because there are a lot you can do differently. it has potential but at the current status overall it is not a good expirience, but maybe for someone new for the concept it will be more fun. I recommend to...
