Grav Cavern by Tange

[raw]
made by Tange for LD15 (COMPO)
This is a 2D game where you play a character who must reach the exit of each square grid level to continue. It is top down but gravity may may be in any direction or completely off. Also you cant move, instead you must throw stones at special bricks to activate their directed gravity field which will push you around.

It is made with Panda3D and will therefore run from source on almost all platforms if Panda3D is installed. The game when compiled into an installer was 57mb for Windows which is too large to host on my website for everyone so you will just have to enjoy running this from source. This also means that you are able the create new levels because the level file format is just a python file which calls simple methods on the level object.

There are only 3 levels because time was tight, but at least 2 out of the 3 will challenge you I hope.

---About Panda3D---
For those of you who avoid downloading extra engines just to run games I ask you: Have you not looked at this engine for use in your own games? It's so feature complete I must assume that you have simply never heard of it. EVERYONE I know who has looked into its capabilities has decided that there is no better engine to develop with. I hope you all enjoyed using what you did but more so I hope you will heed this advice that this is an engine worth using. This is my first 2D game using Panda3D, my others were an FPS and a Little Big Planet clone using Panda3D's builtin ODE Physics.
