vetovoima

vetovoima is an arcade game where you control the gravity!

The world is a hollow circle with a star in the center. You're the Yellow Block and your goal is to navigate through shifting debris to the Tall Blue Block before the time runs out. The challenge is to survive the chaos that ensues from changes to gravity.

You can move forward, slow down and change the intensity and direction of gravity:

➡️ Right arrow: move forward

⬅️ Left arrow: slow down

↕️ Up/Down arrow: control the gravity
