Graviblox is a simplistic puzzle game that is based on different block types and the ability to switch gravity on and off.
Controls: Arrow keys - Move Space - Interact with the selected block G - Toggle gravity R - Restart level (if you're stuck)
Because of the limited time I wasn't able to create as many levels as I had originally planned to, but I didn't want to enter the jam either. I failed miserably with my first game idea, on which I had been working for over 15 hours, so I had only half the time to come up with a new concept. I hope you'll find it interesting and fun to play nonetheless.
On some computers, the library I used seems to have problems loading the sounds. There also may or may not be problems with text displaying. If that is the case, I apologize.
UPDATE: I just updloaded a bugfix, enabling you to restart the level if you're stuck. I hope that still fits the conditions.
You have a nice idea here. With more levels and maybe more block types you could have a pretty decent puzzle + timed execution game. Although, all I can think of are the Pokemon boulder moving and ice skating puzzles, which are quite different from this... :p

Other than the above which meant I had no sound it was a pretty fun game, although a restart key would be good in case you get stuck behind a rock piece that you can't break. Other than that it was pretty fun. Good job :)
@ThirteenWB A friend of mine had the same problem running on windows. I'm trying to fix it, but as of now I'm not sure what's causing it since it works fine on most computers.
When I saw it was a gravity changing game, I wasn't expecting much, but it did prove to create a rendition of a kind of overused mechanic in a new way. Nice game!

Don't know why it does that...

Just need more and harder levels.
Well done.
