Gravity Vortex Overview
Gravity Vortex was one of those games you'd find in the late 2000s, tucked away on a Flash game portal. It didn't have a big studio name attached, just a simple idea executed with clean vector graphics. You loaded it up in your browser, and it was ready to go.
You control a small, circular ship navigating a vertical shaft. The core mechanic is in the name: you reverse gravity with a click, sending your ship falling upward or downward to avoid obstacles. Your ship has a gun, fixed to one side, that fires automatically. The goal is to descend through the cavern as far as possible, collecting crystals for points while dodging geometric hazards. The controls are just the mouse; you click to flip gravity and move the cursor to steer slightly. The pace is steady, almost rhythmic, but the shaft narrows and the obstacles become more dense the deeper you go. It feels like a focused test of timing and spatial awareness, where a single misclick sends you into a wall.
