Our take on Inversion
The defining detail is movement in the opposite direction: reversed arrows turn ordinary platforming into the game's central control challenge.
What is Inversion?
Inversion is a puzzle platformer focused on precision and control.
The main character, Mr. "i_230," moves in the opposite direction, while the control arrows are also reversed. Players can change gravity as they navigate the game’s challenge. Completing a level awards an achievement. The central mechanic turns contrary movement into the main test, requiring players to adapt to controls that work differently from standard expectations.
How Inversion plays
- 01Opposite Movement
- The main character moves contrary to the expected direction of control.
- 02Gravity Changes
- Players can alter gravity while handling the character.
- 03Level Achievements
- Finishing a level grants an achievement.
