Swich! by swich

[raw]
made by swich for LD30 (JAM)
Endless runner where 2 characters run on their own in separate worlds and your only job is to swap them. Each character can overcome different obstacles. It's trickier than it sounds!

Controls: space bar to switch characters

Code by @blade_sk, Art by Matus Gavalier, Game Design by @marcelklimo
Music is just a free to use loop, as we didn't have a musician, so please don't rate that part.

Windows only.

The game keeps you aware of quickly changing between characters, very fun and difficult

I loved gameplay, you should release it in iOS/Android.

Cool! Made my brain hurt at first but I think I got the hang of it. It's a little annoying when the jumper jumps automatically and dies because of it but other than that this was fun. Clear gameplay and graphics!

I think this is my new favourite of the ones I've played (so far)

The web link is just a download for the .exe ;(

Love the idea though.

Really great entry, fun mechanics and really difficult for only having one button! :)

Difficult yet interesting gameplay, it was a little odd
for me at first but I got used to it. Sometimes it is not
reallly obvious which character is required to overcome
a certain area and even though I had time to switch I was
not sure what to do, but other than that it is a really fun
and enjoyable entry. Good job with the theme as well

It is quite difficult because brain can hardly track two moving bodies, but it is quite awesome!

Really difficult game - requires loads of concentration. Nice graphics, and really original. Top score of 29m!

A "web" link should be playable in the browser, not go to a download.

Ohh nice.
And hard to beat.
Dual endless runner.
Good idea.

Sorry for the confusion with the web link, renamed it to "website", there's currently only the Windows version. -blade

The procedural generation of the levels is very nice. Good job.

Cool style, cool art. Love the music.
It's a bit difficult to simultaneously keep track of both screens, but I don't know how to make it easier. Maybe you could build in a progression in difficulty. ;)

Pretty hard but really fun to play. A very good twist on the endless runner genre. My only complaint however is that the default resolution is a bit too small for a desktop game (Seems very smartphone sized to me)

It is difficult and has some more depth than I thought at first. The first few attempts I wasn't sure what the point of the shooter hovering, and then my jumper would fall into a hole.

I recorded my playthrough of it, and it will go up on September 8th, http://www.youtube.com/user/Ythmevge
