Flipside by NathanBrower

made by NathanBrower for LD29 (COMPO)

NOTE: It is recommended you download and play the .exe, as the web based html5 version's audio will slow down after a few minutes of playing.

===Description===
Flipside is a game in which you take control of B.O.B (Bionic Operations Bot) in his quest to collect stars in 9 fun levels. To navigate each level, B.O.B can toggle between moving above, or below the red surface. While below the surface, gravity's direction will be reversed, so take care!

===Controls===
A and D ------------ Left and Right
Space -------------- Jump
Shift -------------- Toggle Surface

===Tools Used===
Game Maker Studio
GIMP
Blender
ParticleDesigner
BFXR
GarageBand

I will upload a timelapse video later, so stay tuned.

Thank you for looking, and I hope you enjoy playing Flipside!

Great action and great puzzles. It needed a whole boat load of polish but a great solid base pre-polish.

Level design is really promising + interesting puzzles. Controls are quite a bit annoying when it comes to simple movement so parts of the game that should be easy turn out to be pretty annoying.

I noticed a glitch when I flipped sides I got stuck in the floor (half way through the floor). The game is fun though.

Pretty cool concept. Nothing sophisticated but very well done, simple and fun to play. Good job!

Reminded me a little bit of Shift. Still a really good game with good gameplay and level design.

On my first attempt the robot wouldn't move to the left for some reason. Restarting cleared it up though, fortunately & in the end I liked this game quite a lot.

The puzzles are good and it's a really nice use of the theme. The controls are a bit imprecise so I ended up missing a few jumps, which was frustrating, but overall I like what you've done here!

The bouncing was cute, but a bit annoying when I wanted to flip quickly after landing from a fall.
