Flip Phone Sim Flipping is Hard Debuts New Trailer at OTK Winter Showcase, Announces Playtest

Flipping is Hard, the upcoming precision platformer developed by Elegant Horse Studios, just debuted a new trailer in the OTK Winter Showcase pre-show! This new trailer introduces players to Flippy the flip phone, a sturdy ‘90s brickphone who got separated from his owner and will do anything to make it back to him. The team also announced a playtest for this weekend until November 24th on Steam, ahead of the public demo becoming available on December 12th, so get ready to start flipping! 

Flipping is Hard is a punishing game that will test your sanity as you use rotate-only movement to navigate the land of lost things. Imagine living your best life as little Jeff's phone, until one day, he slips on a strategically-placed banana and you end up alone in a storm drain! Fortunately, you have the power to fix this by rotating, maneuvering, and climbing across a variety of settings! From the ruins of a dollhouse to chaotic toy chests and muddy playgrounds, play solo or with friends, and make your way back home while trying not to rage in the process. Key Features:

• Rotate Across a Perilous World – Flippy doesn't have legs... Your only movements are rotation and a vibration jump. Do your best to maneuver your way across a dangerous world and make your way back to little Jeff. Luckily, flip phones are sturdy!

• Small Mistake, Big Drop – In this punishing climbing sim, just one small mistake can easily lead to a big tumble. Rotate strategically to make your way across 10 different areas and back into little Jeff's pocket.

• Suffer Solo or Call Up your Friends – Either play solo like some insane person who likes to suffer, or recruit some friends to flip around with. You can even drop them “by accident”! 

• Quirky Worldbuilding – Meet quirky characters, uncover weird lore, and most importantly, TRY to complete platforming challenges.

• Do you Have Games on your Phone? – The answer is yes! Find, unlock, and play classic mobile games from the past. Truly a game-ception.

• Incoming Calls – Answer random calls for Jeff and listen to all the tea. Some are heartwarming from Mom, but others can be a little more on the sketchy side. 

• Fashionista Flippy – Customize Flippy with different phone cases, charms, and stickers! Even a phone always wants to look its best.

• Speedrun Ready – Quick restarts are implemented so you can efficiently torture yourself with speedruns. Master the way of Flippy and make your way back to Jeff as soon as possible! 

• Checkpoint Assist (Optional) – A softer mode for when your soul needs a hug. Insane people will flame you. Use it anyway.
