    It's too punishing even on the lowest difficulty. Die to something you weren't expecting? Too bad, replay half the stage. The grappling hook barely works. There doesn't seem to be any way to dodge attacks. No accessibility options to make the game easier. Also, why does everything cost money after finding it? You find an upgrade or collectible, then have to grind currency to unlock it. Just give me the items.

    Gravity Circuit feels as if someone has found a lost cartridge from an alternate universe where the platformer genre didn’t die out but continued to evolve for another 30 years. While other games tell me about the fate of the world, robot politics, and the meaning of artificial intelligence, Gravity Circuit offers a more effective approach: — See a problem? — Hit it. And you know what? It works.

    The term "hidden gem" gets thrown around alot but this game truly deserves that title. It's delightfully detailed, carefully balanced, satisfying to master and polished to perfection. The devs took all the best parts of Mega Man, left out the frustration and packaged it all in a beautiful, confident artstyle. I got the game while it was free to claim and now i feel like i ripped off the devs. I cannot wait for the …

    This is a good game. If you want punchy Mega Man esque platforming, this is definitely that. If that's enough for you, buy this without worry. Be aware it may be kinda tough if you're not used to this kind of gameplay. The Good - Fast movement and platforming. - Decent music. All the tracks are good, but no bangers. - Burst system is neat. Lots of options. - I love the palletes. Best part of the upgrade systems imo …

Make the preceding entry free for a limited time to build hype and good will for the sequel, or if the game is still making a considerable profit, discount it heavily.

    So the short of Gravity circuit is it's a fast paced, face punching, hookshot swinging good time with a killer soundtrack to boot and a lot of variety in what you can have to take with you during missions, it has three difficulties but playing through normal I can say it's a blast you should give a try if these are your kinds of games, I know I enjoyed it dood!

    Very fun and very well designed 2d platformer. This was a classic Mega Man "clone" done right, except the hero didn't have a blaster but a hookshot instead (think grapple). The developers even went for a 8-bit console look with pixel art and intentionally limited colors. They nailed it. I liked the fact that it was not so tough (at easy difficulty), unlike most Mega Man games. They were generous with checkpoints and health boosts. Difficulty seemed fair at normal difficulty too, but I didn't…

    What the hell were the level designers on when they tried making this? I love Megaman a lot, and i enjoy the X series too, I'm a bit disappointed with the level design. I hate when video games make level design that is intentionally infuriating for no good reason. Everything else is great, I just couldn't enjoy what i played after the intro stage (Which, was fine obviously) The grappling hook is pretty frustrating to use, too. being able to use it as a weapon is great, but why the hell does…
