I've been experimenting with jumping in addition to the changing gravity mechanic. I'm not sure if I'm going to include both though.

Added knockback and support for multiple levels.

Added platforms that you can jump onto from the bottom. Now, I need to implement an inverted version for when the gravity is inverted.

Inverted platforms have now been implemented.

I'm probably going to scrap this project and work on something simpler. The whole changing gravity mechanic became way to complex. I only got the idea because @binkle suggested a VVVVVV clone and @ItsSkyDragonz suggested a MegaMan style game. I thought I could combine both, but it just got confusing writing code for both gravitational states.

I though instead I could just make a vertically scrolling platformer, kind of like Kid Icarus, but maybe without the RPG elements.

@crispytoats @binkle @ItsSkyDragonz I know Metal Storm. I was trying to copy it's mechanics, but programming physics with two modes is difficult.
