Introduction to Gravity Mechanics
Level 6 is often considered the turning point in Opposite Day 2. Up until now, you've been dealing with reversed controls—press left to go right, press jump to fall. But Level 6 throws an entirely new wrench into the works: gravity reversal.
In this level, certain trigger zones will flip the direction of gravity. When you walk through a purple-glowing area, suddenly the ceiling becomes the floor, and you'll find yourself walking upside down. Combined with the already-reversed controls, this creates a brain-bending puzzle that has stumped countless players.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Step 1: The Initial Approach
When you spawn in Level 6, you'll see a straightforward path leading to the right. Don't be fooled by its simplicity. Move carefully toward the first purple trigger zone located approximately 3 platforms ahead. Remember: your controls are still reversed, so press LEFT to move right.
Before triggering the gravity flip, take note of the ceiling above you. Those platforms will become your walking surface once gravity inverts. Plan your landing spot in advance.
Step 2: First Gravity Flip
As you pass through the purple zone, gravity immediately inverts. You'll fall "upward" toward what was the ceiling. Your instinct will be to panic—resist it. The key is to:
- Keep your forward momentum (press LEFT to continue moving right)
- Use the reversed "jump" (which now launches you toward the "ground" you just left) to adjust your landing
- Aim for the large platform directly above the trigger zone
Step 3: Navigating the Ceiling
Now walking on what was the ceiling, you'll encounter a series of narrow platforms with gaps between them. The perspective shift can be disorienting. Here's the trick: mentally rotate your view 180 degrees. Imagine you're playing a normal platformer, just viewing it from below.
The second purple trigger is located after the third gap. Don't touch it yet if you want the first Blue Cube—it's hidden in an alcove to the left of this trigger.
Step 4: The Second Flip and the Pit
After collecting the first Blue Cube, proceed through the second trigger. Gravity flips back to normal... but you're now in a section with a seemingly bottomless pit. Here's the secret: the pit isn't bottomless. There's a third trigger inside it.
Jump into the pit (remember, press the "jump" key to fall faster due to reversed controls). As you fall, you'll pass through another purple trigger, flipping gravity again and landing you safely on a hidden platform above.
Step 5: The Final Stretch
From the hidden platform, you can spot the exit. Navigate the remaining inverted platforms—there's one more gravity flip before the end. The second Blue Cube is on this final inverted section, requiring a precise jump to a floating platform that's easy to miss.
Pro Tips for Level 6
- Slow Down: This isn't a level to rush. Take your time to observe each gravity flip zone before triggering it.
- Mental Rotation: Practice mentally flipping your perspective. It takes a few tries but becomes second nature.
- Use Momentum: Keep moving through gravity flips. Stopping mid-flip often leads to missed platforms.
- Watch for Purple: The trigger zones are always marked with a purple glow. No surprises.
- Speedrun Note: There's a shortcut that skips the first half of the level—jump from the spawn directly into the "pit" area using a precise angle. See our Speedrun Guide for details.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting that controls are STILL reversed even after gravity flips
- Triggering gravity flips without planning your landing
- Ignoring the alcoves where Blue Cubes hide
- Moving too fast and overshooting platforms
