Flipping is Hard, the upcoming precision platformer developed by Elegant Horse Studios, just debuted a new trailer in the OTK Winter Showcase pre-show! This new trailer introduces players to Flippy the flip phone, a sturdy ‘90s brickphone who got separated from his owner and will do anything to make it back to him. The team also announced a playtest for this weekend until November 24th on Steam, ahead of the public demo becoming available on December 12th, so get ready to start flipping!
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.
Key Features:
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.
