Gravulse Experimental

[h1] Portal without Portals. [/h1]

its luck not a puzzle at all

[h1]Despite being free, not only is this game inferior to other puzzlers (like portal) but it's downright [b]INFURIATING TO PLAY[/b].[/h1] For starters this game [b]LACKS BASIC SETTINGS[/b]. There is now way to change your FOV, the camera feels like looking through a telescope. You also can't change basic key-binds; I don't personally have an issue with the set binds but is you do you're screwed. Performance wise (on a standard laptop), I had no issues with frame rates, [b]NO STUTTERING[/b]. However, I did have issues with [b]SCREEN TEARING[/b], which - funnily enough - I didn't have too much of an issue with since it sort of fit the style of the game. I'd also occasionally have my mouse pointer appear on one of the corners of my screen, it only visually effected the game. The [b]MOVEMENT FEEL TERRIBLE[/B], jump pads don't nearly launch the player as high as they should, only barely letting the player up. the walk speed - more of a crawl - was way too slow and in conjunction with the terrible level design made even [b]the simplest of chambers take wayyyy... too long[/b]. You constantly slide after a large jump or coming off of a horizontal pad. Jumps that should've made it don't…

A portal-like game minus the portals plus gravity defying tunnels. Welp. The result is a nauseating game. If you have motion sickness like me, you'll find it difficult to like this game. The puzzles look interesting though so I kept playing. However, the input controls are not functioning half of the time. At first I thought it's my laptop acting up, but I checked the other reviews and many other people experienced the same thing. I hope the game devs will fix the input controls issue. I'll reconsider playing this game again and updating this review.

Gravulse Experimental, developed by illystray and verkme and published by verkme and illystray, is a compact first-person puzzle-platformer built around a deceptively simple but engaging idea: redefining how gravity works within a controlled environment. Set in a sterile, futuristic testing facility, the game places players in a sequence of experimental chambers where conventional movement is replaced by the ability to traverse walls, ceilings, and other surfaces through gravity manipulation. Rather than focusing on narrative or world-building, the experience is centered almost entirely on exploring and refining this core mechanic, making it feel more like an interactive prototype than a traditional full-length release. What makes the game stand out is how naturally it integrates its gravity-based systems into both movement and puzzle design. Players are encouraged to think spatially, constantly reorienting themselves as floors become walls and ceilings become viable paths. This shifting perspective creates a satisfying mental challenge, especially as later levels begin to combine multiple mechanics into more complex sequences. The game doesn’t hold your hand for long, instead tru…

Works very slow, it's unplayable. (Btw what Unreal Engine version is this?)
