Gravity Bone is a fun student project and "proof of style" and not much more, but that's okay.

Pros:
  • Environment, soundtrack, and vibes are stellar; game is oozing with style and imagination
  • Strange but charming methods of storytelling and exposition; it'll stick with you, even though you don't know exactly what stuck
  • Platforming sequences feel nerve-wracking but aren't punishing

Cons
  • Extremely simple mechanics are introduced but game is too short to do anything with them, so they just kinda feel pointless
  • Crashes when changing resolution and pressing escape again
  • Mouse accel; can't turn off
  • Character move speed is a bit fast in the first level
  • Ends way too soon

If you like Jazzpunk, or you liked the trailer for Jazzpunk, or you just like the idea of this game, download it and play it real quick. At worst, you'll lose 15 minutes. It's truly a delight.

Warning for rose-tinted glasses here: This is a super nostalgic game for me; I played it back when it was free on Desura (I think).
