Fliping Out
Plot is simple, your a hot anime girl character that travels with a magic wand to different enviorments to get all your friends back and move on. That's it in a nutshell, but puzzle games were never really know for deep plot lines anyway, you just simple do the best you can to solve whatever puzzles are thrown at you, which is all I need.
The graphics are good, look almost like a lost SNES game. I really like the character designs sort of anime like. But most importantly I really like the designs of the enviorments you filp to, each of them are always different and there is a great variety of them. The music is good, I wouldn't say anything particularly memorable but there were at least a few tunes I found catchy.
But most importantly the gameplay, I think is very good. This game is pretty much a platform puzzler, what makes this unique is that it's not just a simple task of getting from point A to B but finding the right order to get there. In a way the game is sort of like the Labryth board game where you had to control the enviorment to get your ball where you needed it to, it's the same principle here only you flipping to different enviorments. I really love the use of duel screens, this game I feel is another great example of that use. On one screen it's the enviorment you currently in, while on another it's an enviorment that's not in use yet. As you are controlling your character in the current enviorment, you can see your character's movements in the other. And as you flip to the other enviorment you character will be in that particular position you put her in from the last enviorment. It really is a matter of using your enviorment/s to your advantage, figuring out the right positioning order to get you where you need to be.
The game's not that hard but it's not that easy, as you get further it does start to get a little harder as there are different principles added in, like flipping colored switches at certain times.
Well, not much left to say but if your a fan of the platform puzzle sub genere then this game is a nice chalnenge for you. Mighty Flip Champs is a champ.
