What is G-Switch 3?
G-Switch 3 is a fast platform and skill game created by Serius Games and released in 2019. Players guide a running character through hazardous tracks by reversing gravity on demand. Instead of jumping over gaps, you invert gravity to run along ceilings, floors, and vertical surfaces. The game runs directly in your web browser with no download or installation required.
Key features
- Gravity Inversion: Flip gravity with a single input to alternate between running on floors and ceilings.
- Campaign Mode: Guide your runner through a sequence of obstacle courses filled with traps.
- Endless Mode: Test your reflexes on an ongoing track where the challenge increases the longer you survive.
- Local Multiplayer: Share the screen with up to 7 friends or compete against computer opponents.
- Universal Controls: Play using any keyboard key, a mouse click, or a touch screen tap.
- Device Compatibility: Enjoy the game on desktop monitors or mobile screens in portrait and landscape views.
How to play

Gravity switching mechanics
The core mechanic of G-Switch 3 centers on rapid gravity manipulation. Your runner moves forward at a constant pace, leaving spatial positioning entirely to your inversion inputs. When you trigger a switch, your runner detaches from the current surface and travels across open air toward the opposing floor or ceiling. Because moving between surfaces takes a moment of air time, anticipating track layouts is essential. Timing your inputs prevents your character from hitting hazardous barriers or falling off screen.
Tips and strategy
Flip early before hazards: Pressing your switch button right as you reach an obstacle usually causes a collision. Triggering the inversion slightly before the hazard gives your runner enough clearance to transition safely.
Look ahead across the track: Keep your eyes focused on incoming platforms rather than solely tracking your character. Anticipating upcoming walls and traps allows you to plan your next transition in advance.
Use practice matches against bots: When preparing for multiplayer sessions, add computer opponents to get accustomed to crowded tracks and sudden surface changes.
Find your ideal input method: Test mouse clicking alongside keyboard taps to see which physical action provides you with faster reaction speed.
