Well, isn't this narcissistic? They literally reviewed the game in the title! All things considered, it's a pretty generous review too. I would call it more of a slightly amusing time; and there wasn't much flipping either. Just a few aggravated grunts followed by relieved sighs.
A Flipping Good Time is a 2D platformer which blurs the line between floor and ceiling. There's honestly not a whole lot to say about it. You jump around, collect fireflies (because hey, they're shiny), and avoid big shards of crystal that, for some reason, make a blunt, smacking sound when you run into them rather than a squelch.
The game feel is good. Damn good. it feels gratifying to collect the fireflies, and pulling off a long sequence of difficult jumps is very rewarding. Really the only complaint I have is that I wish checkpoints were a little more frequent, because the flow that this game induces very well is hindered by having to repeat the beginning of a long section of a particular levels multiple times.
The difficulty is spot on, the music is amusing, the aesthetics are pleasing...It's just a good game. Not great, but good. After all, the levels are a bit samey and the powerups are infrequent enough that you may forget they're even there.
If you'll excuse the education pun, it seems like the makers of this game were really doing their homework. They know how to make a fun game. It's certainly not the next big thing. It doesn't bring anything new to the table, but it's still amusing and I suggest any platformer enthusiasts in my audience download it real quick and give it a shot. This game gets my seal of approval.
Until next time, fellow gamers.
