Flipside

FLIPSIDE is a fast, color-flipping arcade shooter inspired by the polarity mechanic of classics like Ikaruga.

Your ship has two states: light and dark. Enemies come in both colors too and color is everything. Match an enemy's color and you're safe to touch it, but your shots pass right through. Flip to the opposite color and your bullets tear it apart but now contact is deadly.

Every moment is a split-second decision: become what's in front of you to survive, or flip to destroy it. Waves escalate, the pressure builds, and letting too many enemies slip past means game over.

Features

• A polarity-switching mechanic that turns shooting into a puzzle of timing and nerve
• Escalating enemy waves with breathing room between assaults
• A boost that grows stronger the better you play
• Full keyboard and controller support
