Gamers see platformers as games about caution. Looking before you leap proves vital not only to your success, but also in discovering what makes these games fun. Platformers dramatize equivalents to crossing a busy street or hiking a trail in real life by exaggerating the danger. They transform mundane traversal into an artform that thrills in the moment and satisfies in retrospect. As a result, many platformers rely on a calculated pace that works best when you take your time.
While you can certainly play Gravity Circuit that way and enjoy it, I’d argue that’s not what makes it fun. Caution weighs the experience down. Gravity Circuit shines brightest when you throw caution to the wind.
This realization struck me as They was about halfway through my second playthrough of the game. On my first run (more of a brisk walk, really), I took my time. They approached each obstacle with caution, killed every enemy, and combed through every stage to ensure that They didn’t miss any secrets. They enjoyed my trepidatious treks, but they felt off, almost restrained. Gravity Circuit’s game mechanics screamed out for more. Upon my second go-round, They broke out into a mad dash, rushing past enemies while barrelling towards the end of the stage. Despite doing decidedly less exploration, They nevertheless found the truth: Gravity Circuit’s fun lies in this faster, more aggressive style of play.
