How does your game fit the theme?
Switcheroo centres around the idea of swapping hats to reverse roles. Our game also reverses the role of the player - who can no longer navigate the characters on the board, but can instead indirectly influence their moves by swapping their hats (which dictate the way the characters move). While playing Switcheroo, you'll come across mechanics like reversing time and tiles. Hope you enjoy playing our little game!

An overall good game :)

Thanks!

I love the idea! The sounds and music are fun, tho I found myself wishing the music changed up every so often. 

I only went through a few levels but a lot of them seemed rather straightforward but taught the mechanic really well. Not sure how I liked the auto-move ability since you could always just reverse it. Felt a little unnecessary.

Overall a great game, one of the top I've played so far!

Thanks a lot for playing our game and taking the time to comment!

Beautiful art! And the puzzle is very fun and simple. It does get the theme very well, good job!

Fantastic art and presentation!  I'm not a big puzzle guy, but I appreciate the mechanics, especially the ability to reverse your moves.  I kind of wish there wasn't an auto move timer, because it defeats the ability for me to really think about the puzzle and my moves.

Your sprite work is great!  Everything was very charming.

Pleasant puzzle game, reminiscent of Robo Rally. Once I got into the cadence of allowing the characters to progress at their own pace and just focus on the on the fly hat changes I started to appreciate it more. 


Would like to see how crazy this could get with 3 or more little Blorbo's hopping around the map.

Thanks a lot for playing our game! We should totally call them Blorbos, love it!

Given time, we'd love to explore having more characters in play, great suggestion :D

I like how the difficulty slowly ramps up, you really thought about how the mechanics are presented and taught.

Nice game! looks great, feels great and sounds great!

That's a very nice game with interesting puzzles and mechanics, however some game mechanics like the timer shouldn't be in a puzzle, it is forcing you to move for no reason and keeps me from thinking.

Other than the game looks good and you did a nice job on this one.

great puzzle game! Probably my favorite entry i've played so far. it was creative, fit the theme, and has quite a bit of content. Pls take out the turn timer though. so unnecessary and frustrating
