I’m making a game that puts acrobatic tricks in the spotlight. Discover, understand and master in-air rotations through an arcade-style gameplay system in different worlds.

This is a prototype currently focused on gymnastics. Tumbling to be precise, but I'm planning to extend the system to other acrobatic disciplines for a maximum of thrills.

Keep in mind that it’s designed for use with controllers although it can also be played on the keyboard. I hope you enjoy it.

Controls

Move: WASD
Jump: SPACEBAR
Handspring: Left SHIFT
Flips & Twists: WASD
Increase pitch speed: LMB
Increase yaw speed: RMB
Move camera: Mouse

How it works

1. Jump and do a trick to charge your handspring.
2. 2 consecutive jumps increase the strength of your handspring.
3. Land on your feet

The tricks

For those who can link more than two flips without falling.
Some ideas for sequences. Enjoy;)

This prototype contains:

• A tutorial to learn the six fundamental tricks
• A workout mode to try out the more complex tricks in the list of tricks

Do you like Flips & Twists ?
