Hello everyone. This is not a game patch, but rather an announcement about a new, alternate public branch for Linux users. Windows and macOS users are unaffected. Recently, an user approached us about how the AppImage the game was delivered with didn't launch on their linux system. AppImages are essentially containers that contain most every dependency the game needs to run, which makes it handy for distribution in the Linux ecosystem; covering some of the most popular distros (including Steamdeck). However, for any edge-cases, users may not be so lucky, and additional tinkering is needed. To help alleviate that tinkering process, we made a new separate branch (linux-appdir). You can find this new branch under:

Open Steam library
Find and right-click Gravity Circuit
Pick 'Properties...'
Pick 'Betas'
Pick 'linux-appdir' branch from Beta Participation dropdown box
Let Steam download and install the changes

Try this if you find that the AppImage is not launching on your linux distro, for a reason or another. To revert back to default branch, just pick 'None' from said dropdown box. Save files and achievements are not affected even if you hop between the two. For a technical explanation: instead of delivering the default AppImage, the AppImage was extracted (with --appimage-extract), resulting in an AppDir folder. This is just the contents of the AppImage, with all the dependencies, executables and necessary scripts. The linux-appdir branch was then configured to launch the AppRun script directly (which is what an AppImage does under the hood). This appeared to fix the issue for the afore-mentioned user. Do note, that you'll need FUSE to use either the default AppImage or AppDir. This is just a requirement of the underlying methods AppImages use. As always, if you find any other issues, let us know. In the meanwhile, happy gaming!

Gravity Circuit - a flashy action packed 2d platformer in the spirit of console classics.

Mission: Stop the Virus Army’s Uprising!
In a futuristic world populated by sentient robots, its inhabitants are once more threatened by an old foe, the Virus Army. Defeated decades ago, it has re-emerged from the shadows with a unique goal, complete world domination. Severely weakened Guardian Corps are left with no other choice but to call upon a hero of the previous war: the lone operative, Kai, who harnesses the powers of the mysterious Gravity Circuit. As the world's last line of defense, journey through futuristic environments, and take down the evil mastermind behind this chaos.

Reminiscent of classic platformers from the 80s and 90s, with action dialed to maximum, channel your power into your fists and send foes flying, or grapple them to get up close and personal. In your quest you will acquire many new powers, which will allow you to go even further beyond!

Action packed platforming
By channeling your energy into devastating punches, perform satisfying combos and send foes flying, causing destruction and mayhem in the process!
Save the innocent, and power up!
Stages are packed with secrets and innocent civilians alike. Uncover and rescue them, and unlock new powers!
Single player campaign with 12 stages
Each with their unique set of mechanics, your platforming and combat skills will be tested against an armada of enemies and bosses!
