Switcheroo!
A downloadable game for Windows
Hey! This is a little game I made for the GMTK 2023 Jam. I made this in python (PyGame). You have an ability in the game which allows you to switch between the player and certain tiles and objects by clicking on them. Use this ability to solve puzzles and clear the way for your player. The game had a lot of bugs unfortunately during the jam because of short time and other difficulties, but a lot of that has been fixed in the post jam version. Have fun!
Latest Update (no new content, just fixing bugs and quality of life):
- Heavily optimized game
- improved camera
- added more switchable tiles
- fixed collision issues
- fixed a massive amount of bugs
- tiles now don't die from spikes (yes this was a bug)
- and much more.. (check the latest devlog)

I really like the idea of your game! However, there are things that could make the game so much better.
First of all, checkpoints. I guess that's caused mostly by the time limit, but the lack of checkpoints is definitely the worst part. Restarting the whole level after a bad jump makes is way too annyoing and should be the first thing to add next, in my opinion.
Which brings me to my second point, which is the jumping. I think the character should jump a little higher, or at least have some more airtime. It would make it less easy to die and the lack of checkpoints would be a lot less of a problem.
To be honest, if you had time to fix most of the bugs, add those two things and more levels, the game would've been awesome. I really hope you continue to work on this, since the idea is great ^^
Thank you so so much! You are right I would of loved to add checkpoints, fix all the bugs, and add more features if I had more time. About the jumping, I purposely made it weak so the player would be forced to use the ability to make a staircase of tiles to get to places so it wouldn't be to easy. If people like the game then I wouldn't mind going back to fix everything and add the needed features.
