In their own words, Gravity Box's Studio's Inverto is a "first person shooter-puzzler with gravity manipulation." There are no enemies, it's just you, your gravity-switching gun, and levels where up, down, left, right mean nothing. If you're up for some challenging spatial puzzles, then you'll be interested in Inverto.
The game was recently updated to alpha 0.6, so a purchase will provide you with eight large level with more to come, each divided into self contained puzzle areas. Shooting special areas in the level re-orient your gravity, turning a hallway into a long drop or wall to floor. Laser grids, teleporters, force fields, gyroscopic switches, moving areas, momentum...all factor into the increasing complex puzzles.
The graphics has a stylized almost cel-shaded look to it and the environments, while not the most atmospheric, definitely suit the gameplay and offer opportunities to find hidden areas and secrets. Replay value consists of improving your time on each level and attempting to collect special picks ups, which require extra gravity-shifting puzzle solving. The controls are simple but tight and allow for the precision needed to switch gravity mid air while flying between two laser grids.
More content is on the way and even more gameplay elements are planned. In a recent article, the developer discussed what will be coming in future updates, including more guns, more exploration, elements like timed gravity fields and gravity zones, and more. I've greatly enjoyed my time with Inverto and look forward to seeing how it expands and evolves. If you're interested, there is an early alpha demo available on the game's site and if you'd like to see the game on Steam, Inverto is also on Greenlight.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
