About I Wanna Flip the Sky

Platform: NES
Developer: Tom Livak
Year: 2012
Genre: Platformer
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

Tom Livak's one-screen platformer in the spirit of I Wanna Be the Guy and Battle Kid: reverse gravity to get through rooms of spikes.

Each room allows only a few gravity flips, starting with two, and dying sends you back to the start of the room. Later rooms add conveyor belts and walls you can jump off. There are twelve levels. One NESdev forum commenter summed it up as VVVVVV meets I Wanna Be the Guy, and several players found the later levels very hard.

Livak wrote it in August 2012 for the NEO Flash coding contest. It is also on the first Action 53 multicart, and tool-assisted runs of it are on TASVideos.
