Sides of Gravity
Sides of Gravity is a puzzle platformer created by Robert Alvarez where every room shifts whenever your character steps past an open ledge. Instead of falling into a bottomless pit, tumbling off a platform rotates the gravitational pull, transforming vertical surfaces into solid ground. Your objective across each of the 24 stages is to navigate disorienting terrain, reorient the chamber, and reach the exit portal safely.
Each stage functions like an enclosed maze where orientation changes based on your position. Reaching high ledges or clearing wide chasms often requires walking off a specific corner to flip your perspective so that previously unreachable walls become walkable pathways.
How to play Sides of Gravity
The primary goal in every stage is reaching the exit door. You guide your character across floating structures using simple keyboard inputs:
- Move left or right using the A and D keys or the Left and Right arrow keys.
- Jump upward using W, the Up arrow key, or the Spacebar.
- Walk off any ledge to rotate gravitational pull toward the adjacent boundary.
Once you begin a stage, observe the layout before making your initial leap. Because walking off an edge immediately changes the down direction, planning two or three moves in advance helps avoid getting trapped against dead ends. If a particular layout proves confusing, you can activate the built-in hint option to reveal guidance toward the exit.
Orientation mechanics and stage design
The core puzzle design revolves around navigating all four orientations of a single room. Stepping off different perimeters allows you to rotate the entire environment, turning ceilings into floors and side barriers into flat runways. Progression through the 24 stages introduces increasingly intricate layouts that test your spatial reasoning rather than twitch reflexes.
Tips for solving tricky stages
- Survey the entire chamber before moving, noting where the exit door rests relative to each wall.
- Test ledge drops deliberately, remembering which direction the pull shifts when stepping off opposite sides.
- Use small hops rather than full jumps when positioning yourself near delicate corners to avoid accidental flips.
- Take advantage of the in-game hint feature whenever a stage layout appears impassable.
