Indie game publisher Ganitani It was announced at the recent Busan Indie Connect Festival (BIC) that a publishing contract has been signed for the Nintendo Switch version of the new game “Gravity Reversed,” developed by indie game developer Gorani and Sae.
‘Gravity Reversed’ is a speedrun action platformer that progresses by manipulating gravity in real time. In addition to basic controls such as movement and jumping, players defeat enemies by ‘diving’ and navigate stages by moving between ceilings and floors using ‘Gravity Reversal’ when necessary.
It is characterized by maximizing the sense of action and speed through a combination of a combo system that increases movement speed when you defeat enemies in succession and a time attack element where you compete for rankings by recording chapter clear times.
The game offers a basic ‘Speedrun’ mode as well as a high-difficulty ‘Hardcore’ mode where the game ends with a single death. Additionally, an ‘Episode’ mode, allowing players to experience the world through cinematic cutscenes, is scheduled to be added via DLC or updates. Furthermore, the game enhances replay value by featuring hidden stages scattered throughout, collectible items, and an achievement system that encourages diverse gameplay styles.
“Gravity Reversal,” featuring cute and unique pixel art graphics, targeted North American users in their teens to thirties who enjoy the platformer genre, and has received a positive response from a wide age range from 7 to 60 at offline events such as BIC and PlayX4.
The game has been localized into 13 languages, including Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Portuguese (Brazil), Polish, and Turkish, allowing global users to enjoy the game without language barriers.
“After experiencing ‘Gravity Reversal’ firsthand at BIC, we were deeply impressed by the high-quality gameplay that combines simple controls with speedrun elements,” said a Ganitani official. “We will actively support the entire publishing process so that many users can enjoy this experience on the Nintendo Switch.”
The developer, ‘Gorani and Bird,’ also shared their thoughts, stating, “We are delighted that our long-prepared project has met a great partner and is expanding to a new platform,” and added, “We will do our best to deliver the fun of ‘Gravity Reversal’ to more users together with Ganitani.”
The Nintendo Switch version of ‘Gravity Reversal’ is aiming for a December 2026 release, and the specific release date will be announced later.
