Dev Blog 5: Simple Controls



With Just Flip, I really tried to make the controls as simple as possible without losing any of the fun. Here is how they work:
  1. Pull back and launch with the mouse.
  2. Left mouse button when in the air to control the flip.

For those that prefer a Controller, I'm currently working on that as well.

Dev Blog: Journey to Early Access Update 4



Hey everyone.

Been a while since my last post. Like my previous posts, just want to let everyone know things are still moving. I continue to work on 'Just Flip' everyday.

I'm currently building out the mountain. I'm trying to get enough "mountain" to keep early access players engaged while I continue building the rest of the mountain.

I am getting closer...

In the mean time, don't forget about the demos:

Dev Blog: Journey to Early Access Update 3



Just another quick word to let everyone know things are still moving along.

I know there is not a lot of action here yet, but rest assured things are moving as fast as I can move them toward an Early Access release.

After the first demo (see previous post), I spent time updating things with some of the feedback I got.

I've since release a demo update. In an attempt to get a few more eyeballs on the game I also released the demo as a browser game.

You can try the demos here:

Web: https://jeffweber.itch.io/just-flip-demo-web

I've got enough feedback from these demos to move toward release. Still some work to do, but I'm getting there.

Dev Blog: Early Access Update 2

I'm pounding away on 'Just Flip' trying to get things ready for Early Access launch.
In the interest of getting some pre-Steam feedback I decided to throw a small demo of 'Just Flip' on Itch.

Good news:
Got some great feedback from players.

Bad news:
I need to make a few tweaks to address some of the feedback.

Want to give it a try and give some feedback of your own?

You can submit the feedback directly from the game.

All feedback is very much appreciated.

Dev Blog: Early Access Update 1

Hey everyone as I work toward the 'Just Flip' launch to Early Access I thought I'd try to give periodic updates for those interested.

One of the primary things I've worked on lately is a re-do of the 1st 10 minutes or so of the game. I had designed the beginning of the game prior to adding support for the spring jumps and skiing so none of that existed at the beginning of the game.

After playing with the springs and skiing for a while now, I've come to the conclusion that they really are the "star" of the game. Therefore, it makes sense not to hold them until later in the game.

Here is what one section near the beginning of the game used to look like (ignore the color):


Here is what that section looks like now (Ignore the red developer tools):


I think it's a good change and gets to the fun much quicker.

Let me know what you think.
