The G-Switch 4 has elevated the gravity-reversing race game genre to a whole new level. The game's speed is incredibly fast thanks to its intricate trap mechanics and up to 8-player multiplayer mode; surviving and finishing first has never been an easy challenge.
Why Most Players Fail After 30 Seconds
Your only weapon is reversing gravity (flipping from floor to ceiling and vice versa).
- The game speed increases as you progress, meaning your reflexes need to keep up.
- Don't stare at the character while playing; instead, look ahead about a quarter of the screen to see upcoming gaps or obstacles.
Controls for Solo and Multiplayer Races
In G-Switch 4, because each player only needs a single button to reverse gravity, the keyboard is divided among the players. The default keys are usually arranged as follows to avoid duplication:
- Player 1: C or Left Click (Left Mouse Button)
- Player 2: M
- Player 3: Ctrl (Left)
- Player 4: Space
- Player 5: Arrow Up
- Player 6: A
- Player 7: Num 1 (Numpad key)
- Player 8: Num 9
Practical Tips for Always Winning
Mid-air Flipping
In this Part 4, the level architecture is much more complex. There will be sections where you have to constantly flip gravity while flying in the air to cling to small ramps. Practice your ability to press keys rhythmically, avoid spamming keys as that will cause you to lose control of your flight path.
Survival Tips in Multiplayer Mode
The 8-player mode is the most chaotic. To beat your friends, apply psychological tactics:
- Those who go first are always the first to take the hits. If you don't know the route, let others act as shields. You should run in second or third place, observing how the players ahead handle traps to imitate or avoid their mistakes.
- G-Switch 4 has clone portals. When controlling multiple clones simultaneously, focus on keeping at least one clone alive in the safest location instead of trying to save all of them.
Memorize the map
No matter how quick your reflexes are, memorizing the map will make it easier to complete the level. If you're having trouble with a particular segment, enter Creator mode to rebuild the model yourself and practice until you master it.

To further hone your finger reflexes, you can play the following games:
