How we pick them

We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.

About Gravity Circuit

A 2D action platformer in the mould of Mega Man X, but with your fists: you hurl stunned robots into others, swing from the ceiling with a grappling hook and choose the order of eight boss stages before the four final ones.
