Good game with interesting exchange mechanics, but I would like to see more detail in the design and sound

Really cool mechanic, would feel a bit more satisfying if the bullet travelled a bit faster so you could pull off some slicker trap moves. With some audio and a bit more speed this could get really exciting.

I'd love to have the option to jump with W, it might just be me but I find it hard to use A and D for movement, Space and Shift for mobility as well as the mouse for attacking. If all the movement is on WASD it just makes it much easier to manage everything.

Good effort though, would love to see you expand on this concept!

thanks for all the suggestions, I will expand upon this idea later, and I will make sure that the controller is improved. And I will also probably have a quicker speed for the ball. I had it slow for game testing and I got so used to it that I found it unbearable and unwieldy when it was quicker, probably should've checked with others before.

There was a lot of time pressure with this jam! I think a lot of people have been experimenting with ideas to expand on later :)

Not going to lie, I thought at first the first boss was just a glitch, then I realized what was going on.... having some SFX would have help or something.... alright 3.25/5

Developer

I have absolutely no clue how to do SFX, I probably should have learnt some or done something else, but thanks for the feedback, ill make sure to learn  SFX for future games.

Funny game with a very good mechanic.

Developer

Thanks!

This was a neat idea! I liked how I had to think a bit for the first boss with the exchange mechanic, could be a cool puzzle game with some more development time. Good work!

Developer

I probably will develop the game later when im better at game design. Im really happy that you liked it

Love the use of the theme, a very creative take!

Developer

I thought everyone would do something similar to mine. Glad to see that you find it creative and like it :D

SWAPININI FOR THE WINNNNNN!!!

Thanks :D.

Wow, what a novel idea! The mechanic is surprising fun and exercises my brain in a different way! The game and art could use a little bit more polishing, but it's a great take on the idea and I'd love to see a full game from this!

Developer

Im glad that you find the idea to by novel. I am very new to game making (this is my second game) and I am a total rookie at art. I will probably, when I am better at art and game making, make an improved full version of Swapinini.

Good concept and take on the theme. The player felt a little bit floaty, but I liked the idea and it worked well for a 2d platformer.

Developer

I noticed that the player did feel floaty, but I had no clue on how to better it. Ill work on movement more for other games. Thanks for the feedback though, it really helps.

ohh nice idea!!

Developer

Thanks
