Innoquous
Monoquous, a spin on my previous series Innoquous, is a puzzle platformer game in which you can phase through walls, floors and ceilings, turning the world to make them your new opposite-coloured floor.
Phase between worlds and manipulate gravity to get to the end of 30 devious levels.

Innoquous 5, the fifth in the game series that began with 2008's Innoquous, is a huge puzzle platformer... with a twist! Hit a gravity arrow or jump into a flipper and you can rotate gravity, opening new paths through each of the huge collection of levels!
Make your way through 175 levels (100 brand-spanking new to the game, 75 from Innoquous 4) riddled with alternative paths and shortcuts, encountering tens of obstacles, unique puzzles and a need to invent some bizarre strategies to finish them!
All 175 levels are playable in six game modes, for hundreds of hours of content:
Standard: Get to the exit. That's it.
Bunny Hunt: Find the hidden bunny trapped in a crate somewhere off the beaten track.
Conditional: Obey a certain restriction in finishing the level that will force you to undertake new routes.
Time Limit: Get to the exit as fast as you can to obtain a gold, silver or bronze medal.
Fiery Floors: Complete the level with added flooring and obstacles to make your life difficult.
Chaser: Complete the level while a deadly clone of you is always one second behind you.
On top of that, there are multiple groupings of the levels in both Speedrun and the new Permadeath mode, in which you either see how quickly you can complete the entire grouping, or see how many you can complete before you die.
Find the secret note in each of the new 100 levels. They're never clear - some will even require you to perish to obtain them!
Each one will unlock a line of a poem explaining how you found yourself in this bizarre world, who sent you here, and what happens next!
If you run out of levels, the game also comes with a full-featured level creator! Give your level a name, a creator, a description, and begin drawing! Place every obstacle found in the main game, give it a gold, silve and bronze time limit, a conditional objective, place the bunny somewhere, and generally do pretty much everything found in the main game!
You can then enter the Created Levels menu, where the game will display you all of your custom levels along with tracking completion, just as it does regular levels. Feel free to share your levels with others and build up a collection! (You can find your levels in %localappdata%\Innoquous_5 on Windows.)

Innoquous 3 is a platform game in which you can use arrows scattered around levels to manipulate in which direction gravity is pointing. The game uses a smooth mechanic to rotate the view accordingly, making the game seem fluent.
There are 30 brand-new levels in the game, which can be played in one of three game modes - Standard (normal), Conditional (a certain objective must be completed for the level to be passed), and Fiery Floors (where some of the ground has been lethalised, increasing the difficulty). Once unlocked, levels can be returned to as many times as you like thanks to an easy to use level select mechanism.
On top of those, there are two speedrun modes. INQS 30 is a speedrun of all 30 of Innoquous 3's levels. INQS 60 is a speedrun of all three Innoquous games in one go. Fastest times are recorded for you when you save your progress, as well as numerous other statistics, some useful, others less so.
There are also ten trophies to collect for meeting certain game objectives, such as the 100% Completion award. These are displayed on a page in the menu.
The menu itself is designed to be easy to use and as little hassle as possible. Use left or right to switch between items, and click/hover over buttons to interact with them.

Big gravity-switching platformer action. Once again, hit an arrow and your gravity will be redirected. However, this time, there are hazards that will directly kill you instead of just falling off the level. So Innoquous 2 isn’t very innocuous any more. Maybe this one should have been Noquous…
Features new music by two excellent artists (and no latino any more) and 18 levels, none recycled from Innoquous!

Short ten-level gravity switching platformer – hit an arrow and your gravity will align to match it. Get to the exit but don’t fall off the level!
Features a funky latino track so you can do subtle pelvic thrusts while playing the game.
