    Sup everybody!
    My name is Peter, I enjoy playing and making games. Recently I’m preparing for a launch my new game called Pills4Skills.
    This is some sort of trippy gravity-oriented 2d puzzle platformer for iOS and Android devices (coming out later this month)
    Since I’m making it alone, I was hoping to get some feedback and overall impressions on this game from you guys. I’m developing Pills4Skills just for fun and enjoy playing it by myself. There is no plans to get serious profits from this game, it will be totally free with ads (which can be removed for 1$)
    I’ve made some screenshots and a gameplay video.
    Also I can add all who is interested as a testers, just send me your email address here or in a PM.
    Hope you will like it :)

    Here is some content:

    I'm playing the beta and this game might be as good or better than VVVVVV. The speed running on this game is insane. The use of flipping gravity can be used in some very interesting ways to get fast times. Please add everplay so we can record our speed runs. This game is just completely awesome!!!!

    Sure, just send me your email!

    Added the gamepad support in a new build, but can't test it properly because I don't have any of those which are iOS-compatible. I've ordered one, but it has not arrived yet. Was a little disappointed when found out that Dualshok4 is not supported :(

    Button mappings that should work:
    A - Jump
    X - Swap gravity to the left
    B - Swap gravity to the right
    Y - Swap gravity up
    R1 - Zoom out
    Pause - Restart
    L2 - Back to menu
    Left stick - Movement and menu navigation
    L1/R1 - Navigate through level pages in main menu
    L2/R2 - Wwitch between normal and hell difficulties in main menu

    My god! I'm in freaking platforming heaven right now! This is turning into a real GOTY contender. The controls make this game drop dead insanely great. The menu button mapping needs work.

    Sup!
    Made few updates in the GUI and bug fixes. Probably will start creating new levels soon: with portals (mechanics familiar to Prey and Portal) and lasers!
    Hope that Pills4Skills will pass moderation, otherwise I'll have to change the theme a little bit. Not sure what it's gonna be in this case.

    I suggested the name Side Effect. The name works on different levels.

    The orientaton is only in one position, so if one uses a smart cover or case, the app opens upside down. IMO this little detail is important since first impressions matter.

    Thanks!

    Pardon for not replying for a long time, been really busy this days. Was looking for Ciri, if you know what I mean :)
    As for the game name, I was thinking a lot and in the end decided to stick with the original title (Pills4Skills). The game was approved by Apple and will be out on June 10th for iOS. Android and Windows 10 Store versions will be available later this month.
    Meanwhile, I'm still fixing the bugs and trying to add some new content. Few minor updates will came in a 2 weeks after game release.

    Cheers!
