Sky Beneath, developed and published by MindHaven Games, is a third-person puzzle game that utilizes gravity to create challenging and exciting levels for players to solve. This puzzle platformer allows players to play as Cassie, a scavenger working with a friend named Annie, as the two try their best to infiltrate and loot abandoned mining facilities. On your journey, players need to use their most powerful and useful weapon, gravity.
The game itself is extremely well rendered, and has great graphics! The controls were pretty standard and easy to get used to. There was a short tutorial at the beginning of the game, and Sky Beneath was pretty easy to get good at. The map in Sky Beneath was huge! It had tons of doors and extra areas that players could explore. There were also a couple of cutscenes and letters that players could find, that gave the game a little bit of lore and depth.
I want to talk about the best feature in Sky Beneath, the gravity. Throughout the game, players wear a suit that allows them to change gravity in any direction they want. Because of this, players can run on walls, ceilings, etc. I found this concept to be really innovative, and it added a lot more to the game as a whole. If the player decides to switch the gravity too much, it can get very disorienting, and it may be hard to keep track of where you are. I think this game mechanic was the most confusing, but it was pretty easy to get used to and it was very fun.
Throughout the game, I felt like the levels and puzzles were getting more and more challenging. Sky Beneath first started off as a platformer, and was very easy to progress. The game started to add more and more mechanics, such as gravity suits and wrist launchers that allowed players to pick up and move items. Eventually, I was stuck on a certain level, and I had to spend lots of time trying to solve that one level. Sky Beneath is definitely a challenging game that requires a lot of patience and skill.
I definitely enjoyed playing the Sky Beneath demo. This difficult platformer game introduced a lot of new game mechanics, while still sticking to the original puzzle game such as Portal or Portal 2. If you enjoyed either of those games, you should definitely give this game a try.
Adding the gravity suit and wrist launchers open up the possibilities of new and game changer tech, and I can’t wait to see the future of platformer games, including the full Sky Beneath game.
