Gravity Duck

Just finished it. I thought it was a very good time waster and not too challenging, but challenging enough to give you a sense of small gratitude when the level is over. (Especially the last couple, or any where you're being missile'd)

I don't know about the others, but you can neither jump nor flip gravity midair in VVVVVV. (As casual-ized versions of hot games go, this actually seemed pretty good, but that's damning with faint praise.)

I also can't flip gravity in mid air. The game is unplayable for me.

[That's one of the constraints of this game. You're not supposed to be able to flip gravity in mid air, except for when touching a yellow gravity well. -Jay]

colin72,
You aren't supposed to be able to flip gravity mid air in this game, use the yellow orb thingies instead.

That was really fun.

After winning, I was half expecting

cool game till it crashed flash!

Cool game til I went back to the earlier levels to remind myself the gravity rules. I was on level 38, went to level 4, and all my progress was lost. Not gonna waste my time playing it all over from scratch again.

Pretty serious bug too, if you ask me.

[That is a pretty serious bug, and I've confirmed that it doesn't save the highest level you've completed, only the last level you've completed. I've contacted the developer to see if we can get an update that fixes that. -Jay]

I am predicting many Ragequits on this game...

Wow, this is making me hate fireflies more than anything since Owl City. That's a compliment (to the game, not to Owl City). Yaay ducks.

The physics does seem a little slippy; I think I tend to overrun the edges of platforms even when I've let go of the arrow, though that may just be poor reflexes.

Also I think gravity-switchers may have dark premises because you die lots.

Easy peasy. Which is great, I really hoped that this game wouldn't pull the "first 90% game easy, last 10% impossible" trick and it didn't.

However, I wasn't that impressed with the ending. Too predictable.

New version up that fixes the 'lost progress' bug.

Thanks, Lauri! :)

I got up to level 40, and then stepped away. When I reloaded the game, I lost all my progress. No thanks, I won't be trying it again. Don't need to finish it.

It seems to be loading forever? :(

Wait, nvm. It works now. Took so long!

The link isn't working at all now.

The loading screen never appears; it is just the blue JIG background.

[Looks like Dreamhost is down right now. Try back in a little bit, should be a temporary issue. -Jay]

@SkylerF - the server is back up. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The last level is a real pain.

My computer lags or the duck slides off the edge instead of flipping gravity.

hi, I am stuck at level 40...
what is the trick to cross that one?
