GraviCat is a game about a gravity-defying cat. This cat finds itself lost in a realm where gravity is a suggestion.

This cat's having a bad day. He just wanted a nap, but instead, he got a one-way ticket to an anti-gravity adventure. Now, you've gotta help him escape this upside-down mess. Navigate tricky levels by switching gravity on the fly and collect shiny things.


This is my first game ever! I'm really proud of it, and any feedback is welcome!

Please enjoy this playable DEMO build!

Great demo for a game, loved it!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!!

That last section was utter nightmare fuel!!!

Awesome game! I had a great time playing it! The only time I had trouble was the part where I had to flip the gravity multiple times so that my character wouldn't touch the edge of the screen. 

I made a video of it here.

Hey! Thanks so much for playing and for the awesome comment! Glad you had a great time overall. That gravity section... yeah, it gets a lot of people. Watching you fast-forward through it was hilariously chaotic, and your whole video was a blast!

Its amazing, i will do a short to my channel talking about this demo.


IMO this deserve to be a full game ;) maybe fix some physics with the gravity changes but there no more problem with that.


Good job!

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the demo and really appreciate you sharing it on your channel. Please let me know when you post the short! 

I'm definitely open to changing the physics, and I'd love to hear more about what specifically you'd like to see different with the gravity. 

On an aside, I've already made some movement changes, though I'm waiting to flesh out the game more before updating the demo. And yes, this is absolutely planned to become a full game at some point!

This is well done. I especially like the parts that aren't spike-related! The blade chase was my favorite

Short but a dense game experience, so much fun!

The music and the overall pixel art, combined with GB-style sound, create such a great atmosphere, bringing back memories of Game Boy days! (Especially, it reminds me of GB’s Dragon Warrior Monsters, so nostalgic!) 🐱🎵

It's need an difficult. Do you plan any updates?

Thanks for your feedback! I plan to flesh it out, adding levels, difficulty options, and balancing the levels. This was just a beta!

Haha you're a trooper! Thanks a ton for playing!!
