Our take on The Helper

Gravity Shoes define the experience: movement depends on changing gravity and sticking to walls while navigating each level.

What is The Helper?

Control The Helper across a fast-paced 2D adventure built around gravity manipulation.

Gravity Shoes let the character switch gravity, attach to walls, and navigate puzzles while avoiding enemies and obstacles. The main objective is to gather Gravity Crystals for The Professor’s secret experiment. The game contains 80 handcrafted levels arranged across four worlds with themes inspired by movies and television shows. Along the way, players encounter special gadgets and a soundtrack. Keyboard and controller input are supported, and the game includes achievements tied to its challenges.
