That Flipping Mountain News

It's here! A new way to play "That Flipping Mountain".

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Just Flip Mode is a free additional game play mode for "That Flipping Mountain". After selecting "New Game" you will be presented with the option to play the "Standard Mode" or the new "Just Flip Mode"



The new Just Flip Mode is recommended only after you've gained considerable experience with "Standard Mode".

With Just Flip Mode, you will play That Flipping Mountain with a single button. Press to start jumping, then press/release to control your flip as you auto jump your way up the mountain.



You'll need to stay very focused. Unlike in standard mode, if you fail to stick a landing in Just Flip Mode, you are "dead" and must restart at the beginning. (Permadeath!).

Don't worry, it's not quite as bad as it sounds... you don't need to flip all the way up the mountain with zero failures, there are 4 save points along the way.



Once you pass a save point, the save point becomes your new starting position.

Finally, for this new Just Flip Mode, I've added 2 new achievements.

Get to the top of the mountain in Just Flip Mode and you get the following achievemnt:



If you are slightly crazy you might try getting to the top of the mountian in Just Flip Mode with ZERO failed jumps. If you do that you get this:



I hope you enjoy the new game play mode!

If you have any problems and/or questions please let me know in the forums.

Also, tell your friends about the game and encourage you favorite streamers to stream it. Helps immensely!

First things first... If you have any issues with this release please let me know. If you want to go back to the previous version go into the That Flipping Mountain properties in the Steam library, then select "beta", and then choose previous version.

This is a sort of quiet launch of the Just Flip Mode functionality. It's the full release, I'm just not officially announcing it until later in the day.

Have fun!

Hey everyone.

Just another quick update to show my progress on Just Flip Mode. The view below is what things look like when the debug trajectories are turned on. (Of course those will be turned off for release.)



Just Flip Mode will require you to auto-jump up the entire mountain with very few sparsely placed save points. If you miss a jump, back to the previous save point you will go.

Hopefully the wait for this update won't be much longer. I'm anxious to see what you all think of it.

I was going to wait and put this fix in with the next large update but decided to do a hot fix instead and get it out earlier.

-Jeff

Just wanted to let players know there is a known issue when jumping near the wind turbines.

If you feet hit the spinning turbine first, the jumper might freeze up and become un-responsive.

If this happens, you will need to exit the game and then continue the game.

A fix for this is coming with the next large update.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
