Oh boy, a sweet little platformer that looks and feels great! Like the swapping mechanic. Seemed to bug out when switching levels sometimes, character got stuck off screen - had to restart to resolve. Good entry nonetheless :)

Nice platformer, the jumping feels good. Sadly it was very difficult to play on a german keyboard (z and y are exchanged) Also in the second level, after respawning, I got stuck outside of the screen.
But I like the graphics and the sounds and music. Nice work!

This is an awesome concept! I like the art style and the controlls felt good.
I can't wait for the post-jam version that fixesd the couple bugs. Keep up the great work!!

This is a very neat mechanic, could make a hell of a game :)

One of the best LD games I've played. Please turn this into a full game, I loved playing it!

Sweet idea! Really liked it. It was actually pretty challenging because of how quickly the enemy projectiles were - they were VERY difficult to avoid once they were fired. I guess this did add some more strategy to the game. I also felt the controls were a bit loose in the air. Some more air resistance would have been good. Overall, great game!

Good controls and puzzle designs - levels had awkward learning curves in that wall holding wasn't intuitive at first, and some were pretty punishing in the length of level before reaching a checkpoint. But solid artwork, audio, and gameplay.

Overall enjoyable. I wanted to finish the game and I did. Felt good during and after :>

I love the game, and it has a fantastic mechanic. However, there desperately needs to be a small delay between when enemies notice you and when they attack you. As it is, my reflexes simply aren't fast enough. On the first screen, I tried jumping over and over again until I finally made it, because I didn't know about the swapping. To fix that in level design, you could have put a couple rooms before this one, maybe one where you can jump over the enemy and one where you can't jump so you're forced to learn about swapping. Later on, there was an area that I couldn't make through because it was so long without a save point, and I felt the timing was a bit too precise, especially when I was about to swap next to a ranged enemy that was off screen!

Other than these difficulty issues, it's a fantastic game.

Difficult! I struggled a lot with the third room, I think it was. Really enjoyable, though. Great art, platforming was solid, and had just the right amount of strategy. Great work!

Fun game! I like the wall-sliding mechanics, and the swapping feels really good. Wish there was a death animation though

Very fun game! My finest moments were spent swapping enemies into their own bullets. Great soundtrack, smooth controls, unique idea, great art, a puzzle-esque level at the end there leaving me wanting more... I have no complaints.

love the concept, the platform movement...wall jumps...weapon use...all of it feels just right. With a little polish this thing could be a monster! Good job!

Loved this game, thought it was really well done. The mechanic is great and the levels reminded me of the old Rick Dangerous game. The character movement is very fluid and nice to control, easily one of my favourites so far.

Fantastic swapping mechanic, and really good platformer physics. I created a platformer/Metroidvania type game as well, so it was interesting to see other games with really well implemented platforming. I enjoyed Ninja Swapper quite a bit, but I can imagine would split the crowd as the game does require a bit of level memorization in order to achieve success. Similar to 1001 spikes, it's often impossible to complete a level the first time regardless of skill. But this depends on player's personality and for me, I quite like that kind of difficulty!

The game is very unforgiving (I think I've died on the 3rd level about 20 times now) but I absolutely love the swapping mechanic and how it's cleverly used.

"NinjaSwapperWindows.zip is malicious, and chrome has blocked it". Kind of a nasty message I get on Windows. Only saw it with this game.

Very fun mechanics, worth making a full game out of it! The controls were a little touchy, and the enemy cannon thing was too fast for me to react, but the game was awesome anyway.

@HotBoxGames Thanks man!, the game should be more stable atm, if you have time, please try it out again!

@kristof Thanks! We added an alternative controls with shift and space, hopefully will help you have a better experience so if you want to try it out, please do. Thanks <3

@TwoScoopGames thanks man!, there is a more stable build up so if you want to try it out please do. Cheers

@nonetheless Thanks <3, this kind of commentaries made my day <3

@Archonthewizard We are srly thinking it to make it viable, thanks for the support, much happiness <3 <3

@TeamQuadratic We know that the enemies need some tweaking, we understand the challenge. We are still hoping to get that feeling of..."omg this is effin hard"... with the simple and intuitive mechanic. Nonetheless, thanks for your feedback, we will try it out in the near future, probably in the next build! Cheers <3

@monkeedude1212 Loved your feedback, pretty much what I was thinking as well. We need to polish some of the things you mentioned. Thanks for appreciating the artwork as well <3.

@BoiPichu <3 <3 <3

@DietrichEpp We understand your feedback, we agreed on the difficulty. we have some ideas to fix it but probably on the next build PostJAM. Will be announcing next updates thru twitter if you are interested in playing it. Thanks again!

@Shugor Thanks! we tried to do it the best we could on the time frame, we know we have things to polish but thanks for overlooking that and enjoy the game. <3

@ianh yeah I wish there was a death animation as well XD. We didn't have time to implement those at the end, probably on a PostJAM build we will be doing some enhancements on it. Thanks!

@BoxedMeatRevolution you have no complaints? and that is why I love you <3 really glad you enjoyed it!

@richiebranson This means a lot! <3 thanks!

@Franklin'sGhost yeiy! we are the favorites! thanks for the support!

@phi6 Totally agree on the scope you mention, glad you liked it!

@Xanjos Thanks for the support even though you died so much! Cheers <3

@jmborden Oh my, Im really sorry it happened. I tried to download it in a couple of machines and didn't have any problems. I wish we had more information on chrome policies. Thanks for letting me know, gonna keep trying to reproduce it.

@Bergara hey mate can you be a little more specific on the controls? what do you think it was the thing that felt weird? Thanks for dropping by!

Thanks a ton for the love and support <3 <3 <3

Super hard and super fun! :) Great job.

Impressive amount of polish on the character movement. Level design needs work: since swapping brings you to an area which is far from the current camera position, I often died immediately after swapping because of enemies I couldn't possibly have known about in advance, and that felt unfair. Another cause of unfair deaths: sometimes the enemies face you after you swap with them and they kill you immediately, and sometimes they face the opposite direction and you survive. It wasn't clear what was determining this, so it felt more like luck than skill.

Brilliant game. The graphics are fantastic and the overall gameplay has a real nice flow to it. At first I thought the controls were a little skittish but ended up appreciating them as the gameplay really needs a quick reaction. I also enjoyed the music and sound effects.

The checkpoints spaced out through the levels could be a little better, especially at the start, and the Cannon Vikings attack speed could have been a bit more forgiving but apart from this it's a very solid entry.

Very good game! But there are too few checkpoints. :(

Awesome game. A keeper :) Hope you expand the game further :)

Nice gameplay! The swapping mechanic matches with the theme. You need probably an invincible duration to avoid some frustration when you get hit by an enemy who just shooting after the teleport. Good job anyway!

Very challenging and fun platformer. The swapping mechanic was lots of fun, and the puzzle design was great. The only thing I would have liked to see is some sort of death animation for player feedback. With everything moving so fast, sometimes I wasn't sure if I got hit or not. Otherwise, great work!

Obvious things first: at least use "Web (Unity)" if the game requires the Unity plugin :P.

The game feels good, which is one of the most important things for a sidescrolling platformer. At first I thought it felt kind of slippery, but that was only for a few seconds. Might be because of the animation. The particle effect felt out of place at some points too, maybe because it follows the player while in mid air for a while. Not really sure. Sometimes it took me a while to realize I had just died, that could've been more clearly marked in my opinion. Felt almost anticlimatic at the moment.

Some way to restart the whole game would've helped with speedrunning. Should've also put a timer inside the game for added stress.

The graphics are nice especially for the characters. The environment tiles could use some randomization though.

Audio was pretty subtle, since I had to open the game again to refresh my memory on that. It's not irritating at least, but not memorable either. Very fitting though.

+ music and sound fx
+ animation and wall jump
- controls (need some slow down switch moment)
Well done!

Exp. when you wall jump press [right] shoot to left then switch place, fall down because [right] is still pressed

This was so much fun! I really like the swap mechanic. Was sad when it ended... You need to flesh this out :)

That last level desperately needed to be split into two or have checkpoints. It wouldn't be so bad though if the cannon enemies didn't have brutally unfair reaction and firing times.

Did you have anyone from outside your team playtest this during the Jam? If not, you should strongly consider this for the next LD.

Really cool game! Although lacking a clear dying animation, the graphics, sounds and just everything runs smoothly. Great work!

Very good start for a beautiful game, however needs a lot more polish. Controls I would recommend up for jumping and the movment. should be fixed a little. Totally would play a full version of this.
