About Invercity
A handstand looks like hanging when you look it upside down, doesn't it?
Invercity is a puzzle-platformer that features the action "Handstand".
The game has two important mechanics: "Handstand" and "Inverted Broadcast".
"Handstand" reverses gravity for all objects but you for the physics principal law; “things fall to bottom”.
The monitor is turned upside down when "Inverted Broadcast" is performed.
"Handstand" will be replaced with "Hanging". Because it "looks" that way!
Explore the mysterious city with two actions "Handstand" and "Inverted Broadcast".
The city is in panic due to the "Invercity Phenomenon" in which objects fall into the sky!
A reporter who loves doing handstands is chosen to cover the event.
While covering various parts of the city, she tries to find out the mystery behind the "InvercityPhenomenon"!

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's cute art style, clever gravity-inversion puzzle mechanics, and well-designed difficulty progression that starts accessible but offers genuinely challenging optional puzzles. However, some are frustrated by inconsistent pixel art scaling between characters and environments, occasional blurry UI elements, and unusual jumping physics that make the game feel more like a tile-based Sokoban puzzle game than a traditional platformer.
[h3] Pros [/h3] + Qute art style + Very interesting mechanics [hr][/hr] [h3] Cons [/h3] - Inconsistent art style [list] [*] Background & People have big pixels [*] Foreground & MC have tiny pixels (looks bad when she stands near other people) [*] Taxi in the end of level has corparate style (or something like that) for some reason?? [*] Hand drawn (?) style outside of the "camera" (actually good, half of reason why i bought) [/list] - Blurry UI some times [list] [*] Whole main menu & settings page is blurry (including text) [*] In game everything mostly OK, but some times some things get blurry [*] Also for some reason it thinks my screen is 2304x1296, instead of 1920x1080 [/list] - Strange jumping physics - Takes more from Sokoban than Platformers, because of that feels more tile based, unlike usual platformers - Story can be interupted by accidentaly dying in pit/sky [hr][/hr] [h3] IDK [/h3] ? Story (havent finished) ? Wrong font compared to store page screenshots? (tho in game one is better) ? Actual worth for you (cus these are [b][i]MY[/i][/b] opinions)4 found this helpful

A simple puzzle game about inverting and flipping gravity and your orientation. The main game is short and is really more of a tutorial of how all the puzzle mechanics work. The real meat of the game is the side puzzles. Those are definitely more difficult. I have not cleared all the puzzles but I have clocked more than 3 hours just clearing the first bunch of side puzzles. Definitely a good game for a day off to complete.1 found this helpful
A very solid puzzle game. Each area introduces an appropriately-themed mechanic that spices things up so you're always thinking of the gravity inversion in new ways. The main puzzles are fairly easy, but the optional levels expand on an area's mechanics a lot and a few had me stumped for a good while. It's short and sweet, and hard not to like with the upbeat story and cheery cast of characters. It's such a shame this has so few reviews currently. The game doesn't break new ground, but it's well-made and a good time.
Played the itch version long ago and it was a small banger of a puzzle game, so I'm very happy that it got a full fledged game makeover. Sokoban but in a 2D sidescroller plane with gravity gimmicks. Really well made, dope puzzles, and cute presentation.
Very fun game reminiscent of something like Super Hook Girl. Good use of free assets which is something I always admire. Strong, defined puzzle mechanics and a charming look/cast.
