Flipping is Hard
Flipping is Hard is a punishing game that will test your sanity as you use rotate-only movement to navigate the land of lost things. Imagine living your best life as little Jeff's phone, until one day, he slips on a strategically-placed banana and you end up alone in a storm drain! Fortunately, you have the power to fix this by rotating, maneuvering, and climbing across a variety of settings! From the ruins of a dollhouse to chaotic toy chests and muddy playgrounds, play solo or with friends, and make your way back home while trying not to rage in the process.
- Rotate Across a Perilous World – Flippy doesn't have legs… Your only movements are rotation and a vibration jump. Do your best to maneuver your way across a dangerous world and make your way back to little Jeff. Luckily, flip phones are sturdy!
- Small Mistake, Big Drop – In this punishing climbing sim, just one small mistake can easily lead to a big tumble. Rotate strategically to make your way across 10 different areas and back into little Jeff's pocket.
- Suffer Solo or Call Up your Friends – Either play solo like some insane person who likes to suffer, or recruit some friends to flip around with. You can even drop them "by accident"!
- Quirky Worldbuilding – Meet quirky characters, uncover weird lore, and most importantly, TRY to complete platforming challenges.
- Do you Have Games on your Phone? – The answer is yes! Find, unlock, and play classic mobile games from the past. Truly a game-ception.
- Incoming Calls – Answer random calls for Jeff and listen to all the tea. Some are heartwarming from Mom, but others can be a little more on the sketchy side.
- Fashionista Flippy – Customize Flippy with different phone cases, charms, and stickers! Even a phone always wants to look its best.
- Speedrun Ready – Quick restarts are implemented so you can efficiently torture yourself with speedruns. Master the way of Flippy and make your way back to Jeff as soon as possible!
- Checkpoint Assist (Optional) – A softer mode for when your soul needs a hug. Insane people will flame you. Use it anyway.
