Schwarzschild

Schwarzschild is a top-down, dungeon-crawling bullet-puzzler where the player methodically turns dungeons against their makers by bending gravity to their will. Follow the self-named cat burglar, Schwarzschild, as he delves deeper into the strangest and most dangerous corners of the city on behalf of a mysterious patron who has granted him superhuman abilities in exchange for a handful of heists. Enter multi-floor dungeons filled with enemies and traps and use Schwarzschild’s superior mobility to out-maneuver adversaries and counter attack with wells of concentrated gravity that disrupt and manipulate the environment around them.
