TABLE FLIPPING!

A simple, fun table flipping game made by Jarrett Burns and George Miller with music from Incompetech by Kevin MacLeod.

Move with WASD
Look around with the mouse
Flip tables with space bar or left click
(only after taking a moment to admire their sound structural design, of course)

Can you find the potato?

Have fun :D

Could you perhaps post some controls? Spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out how to flip tables, as advertised.

Snap, it's always the obvious things you forget to include :\ Thanks for reminding me Aevek. Don't see a way to edit my entry now but I'll post them here:

Ok. Really, I don't why, it's hard to admit but, I really enjoyed to flip those damn tables. Putting stuff in a mess, that's always cool \o/

But I think, there's really something to do with that. Don't know, add blood to tables, the more you kill them, the more they become alive and beg for mercy. You should seriously think about adding something narrative in it. I really feel like there's potential.

I really liked it anyway !

Hahaha, I'm glad I came back and tried this. I flew a couch up to the giant table on the second floor. The sounds were funny

It's quite satisfying to slip tables. I only wish I could flip those pesky salesmen. Lemonannie

Loved the voice acting. Hilarious game, and who knew flipping tables would feel so good?

Wonderful title. It took me back to my serial table flippage days.

Where else have I heard that intro music?! It's driving me crazy!!

Appreciate the feedback everyone. Glad you all enjoyed it :)

Intro music is Grove Grove from Incompetech. Not sure where you might have heard it, but I'd say it and others been used several places.

I did not see one table break in all my table flipping. Amazing structural integrity. It would be nice if the scoring was more in depth and had more feedback, i.e. multipliers and such(maybe there is? it felt random). Right now the game seems to be an offbeat sandbox. I think the game is very amusing, but I think with a solid scoring/feedback system it could go even further.

This game was a ton of fun! Flipping tables to gain airtime was a pretty cool mechanic, although it was difficult to control, but that was part of the fun! Nice work :D

That was surreal and entertaining. I liked the crazy voices.
