Warning

This is an extension made by a community member and it only got through a light review by the GDevelop extension team. As such, we can't guarantee it meets all the quality standards of fully reviewed extensions.

  • Easily make VVVV games.

  • Easily Flip platformer character gravity upside down.

  • Set the flip gravity key.
  • Set the jump while flipped key.
  • Set the action to reset the gravity back to normal.
  • On/Off ability to jump while the gravity is flipped.
  • On/Off ability to flip the gravity while in air.
  • On/Off ability to trigger once the flip gravity key.
  • Control the flip gravity strength/force.
  • Control the jump strength/force while flipped.
  • Auto handle animations.
  • 2 actions included:
    1. You have 1 object at the top and bottom.
    2. You have 2 objects, one at the bottom (floor), one at the top (roof).
