Clive McMulligan is not just your ordinary space man, his suit comes equipped with a special gravity altering device! Unfortunately this device is very temperamental and you'll have to get it recharged by using the planets gravity tubes. Where did these pieces of technology come from? Why did humanity seemingly evacuate the planet? These answers and more, or not, coming to a 2D puzzle platforming space mans adventure near you!
