Overview
Description

Defy Gravity is an action‑packed platformer where you control Kara, a heroine equipped with a gravity‑bending gun. Use pockets of gravity and anti‑gravity to augment jumps, fly past obstacles, and reshape the environment. The game blends classic platforming with physics‑based puzzles, letting you move objects, shift platforms, and master the laws of physics to traverse each level. A single‑player experience that challenges both reflexes and clever thinking.

The Adventures of Rad Gravity is a 1990 NES platformer developed by Interplay and published by Activision. Players guide the large‑headed hero Rad through eight bizarre planets, battling enemies with a light‑saber‑like weapon and solving gravity‑defying puzzles. The game is known for its comedic tone, sci‑fi setting, and the iconic reverse‑gravity level on Turvia where everything is upside down. Its retro pixel art and quirky storyline have made it a cult classic among retro gaming fans.
