Mechanics
The mechanics of Geomex are simple. It has movement through the menus with the keyboard and mouse and, of course, the basic movement of the mine character with left-right side displacement -walking and running-, jump and double jump.
This ability has a short duration and you have to let Gex rest to be able to use it again. The additional power, called Dimensional Change, consists of a momentary dimension change that repels objects with which it can interact within its radius. This ability has a short duration and you have to let Gex rest to be able to use it again.

| A - D | Shift+A - Shift+D | W | Left mouse | Enter | Esc |
| ← - → | Alt+← - Alt+→ | ↑ | Spacebar | Left mouse |
