The third big update, available for free starting April 15, 2021, introduces a new Punch assistance system that makes it much easier to time and connect ground bending punches with pixel perfect accuracy, 8 new levels, and the ability to play with motion controls in the Nintendo Switch version of the game.

About Georifters
Most platformer games have the player run, jump, and navigate around the platforms or under obstacles; Georifters, however, gifts the player with the ability to manipulate the platforms in a platformer! Push walls, flip the ground, punch portals, spin platforms around you, or your friends, and that’s just a few of the creative ways you can interact with this unique and strange world.
Georifters Main Features
Georifters includes a comprehensive story mode with over 6 fantastical worlds for you and a friend to team up with and complete in couch co-op. You can also enter the “Battle Arena”, a couch competitive mode, where up to 4 players on the same system can challenge each other in a variety of different levels and battle settings. Unlock heroes, mix-and-match skin parts, weapons, and upgrades as you travel through the 300+ stages the game has to offer.
- A unique ground manipulation system allows you to move the world in many ways around your enemies or yourself!
