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!

genius idea for a puzzler, it took me 5 minutes to grasp and my brain was already on fire after 2 levels. Very good interpretation of the theme as well

Thrilled you enjoyed the puzzles... Thank you for playing our game and sharing your feedback!

Nice game, fits the theme in a nice and clever way! The presentation is sweet, it's not too challenging but in a good way as it's a jam entry. Good job all around!

The hat puns were painfully good :P. I like the puzzles but don’t think the time limit for moves added anything (especially since there is an undo button).

But the game is wonderfully juicy and had just the right amount of challenge.

Thank you for your feedback and a tip of the HAT to you :D

I love the artwork and bloom effect! This game is great and I love the puzzle aspects of it.

Thanks a lot for playing our game... so glad you enjoyed the puzzles!

Nice use of swapping to fit the theme, we did something similar for our game! I think I would have gotten stuck on the last level a lot longer but realized I could pause the timer while switching tiles haha.

I'm glad the complexity came more from having more instructions as opposed to having to manage more characters, I think that would have gotten out of hand quickly.

Haha, glad you figured that out and beat that level - we had great fun designing it! Thank you for your feedback, checking your game right away! :D

Really unique and fun game. However I would be less stressed without the timer.

Thank you for playing our game! I'm sure you can appreciate it's tricky to get the adrenaline v/s stress balanced in the amount of time available, thank you for your feedback - it'll help us make the game better! :)

the game is very cute and the puzzles are fun. Lightning looks also very good and I liked how you implemented the theme changing the moves of each one.

Many thanks for your very kind words!

Really cute art! I love the idea of the switching hats for directions. Maybe have it so each direction gets a different hat? It was a bit hard to keep track of what directions the hat had for each level.

Thank you for playing our game and sharing your suggestion :)

Really neat puzzle game! The flow of the levels was really good, every time you introduced a new mechanic, it felt like I had a good grasp of the mechanics up to that point. Great job! 

Thank you for playing our game! So glad we spent the time planning the levels :))

This is a great puzzle game; super polished, hyper understandable and boasting an extremely well tuned difficulty curve. I was entertained right to the end!

The only small issue I had when playing is that I lost track of which character had which moves when they occupied the same tile, but overall I would love to see more levels in the future!

Thank you for playing our game!

Relieved to hear that! Always so tricky to handle difficulty, isn't it?

Clever puzzle mechanic and great polish. I also loved all the hat jokes. The levels were clever and fun. My only criticism is that the auto-move mechanic was a bit annoying, I wish I had more time to think and plan ahead. Overall great!

Thanks a lot, so glad you threw your HAT in the ring and gave our game a try :D
