Flipper 2: Flush the Goldfish

About

Flipper 2: Flush the Goldfish is a side-scrolling platformer where you control a character with a built-in flipper arm, zipping through levels filled with springy enemies and shifting environments. The game leans into its retro roots with tight controls and a focus on momentum-based movement, letting you bounce off foes and obstacles to clear each stage. Levels mix classic platforming challenges with simple physics puzzles, all wrapped in a cartoonish aesthetic that leans into the game's self-aware humor. Despite a niche release in 2011, the game earned praise for its responsive handling and creative level design. While not packed with content, its short runtime and satisfying progression made it a standout title on the DSi platform. The sequel's goofy premise and retro charm still hold up for fans of old-school 2D action.
