"Switch" is a speedrun platformer-style game I made for the first BIGA Game Jam !

This minimalist, level-based platformer features straightforward controls, which can become increasingly intricate as you strive to repeatedly surpass your best score...

-----

Controls ( you can customize everything in the 'Settings > Controls' menu ) :

  • Left and Right to Move
  • Up to Jump
  • Space to Switch
  • Right Shift or Double Press on Left or Right to Dash
  • Down to Teleport to the Last Checkpoint
  • Escape to open the Pause Menu
  • Enter to Confirm Selection

-----

Best of luck, and remember to capture your top scores with screenshots !

Fun to control, a bit of a brain teaser trying to remember where the platforms are. The visual style was very effective. I'd like to see a few more puzzle elements or have the game lean into the switching a bit more. A few bugs - notable the controls stopped working after pausing with esc. Well done!

Thank you so much for your feedback !

I saw you playing on YouTube, and I would advise you to progress further in the levels because there are more puzzle elements that you discover gradually...


There are two game modes: the exploration part to finish the levels, and the speedrun part which depends on memory, where you have to beat the levels as quickly as possible ( almost all levels can be completed in under 10 seconds ).


PS : Regarding the controls stopping after pausing, I haven't been able to reproduce the bug to understand what happened because everything is working fine for me. For the level with the dash, you can only go up on the right side ( you need to switch while jumping ), it will be easier.
