Flipping is Hard

About Flipping is Hard

Flipping is Hard is an adventure platform simulator from Elegant Horse Studios, released December 31 2026 for PC. Rotate your phone-shaped avatar to navigate levels filled with traps and obstacles. The single player mode tasks you with reuniting Jeff and Flippy after a banana peel incident. Multiplayer and co-op modes let you tackle challenges with friends. The game’s focus on precise rotation mechanics and physics-based puzzles makes it a test of timing and coordination.

Gameplay

You control a phone that flips, spins, and slides through environments. Each level requires rotating the device to avoid hazards like spikes or bottomless pits while climbing to Jeff’s location. The physics engine reacts to your movements in real time, making momentum key. Multiplayer modes pit players against each other in chaotic flip-offs. Co-op challenges demand synchronized timing. Controls are mouse and keyboard based, with a responsive but punishing difficulty curve. Sessions often end in frustration but occasionally reward smooth chain-flips and perfect landings.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate Flipping is Hard 4.3/5. 73% complete the base game, averaging 5.5 hours. 86% say it’s worth playing, though 27% call it “too twitchy.” The mood is 68% playful and 52% determined. Co-op players note the 86% achievement completion rate for the “Two-Flips-Always” badge. Critics praise the “clever use of physics” but warn about repetitive level design. One review says “it’s like solving a Rubik’s Cube while falling off a roof.”

PlayPile's Take

Flipping is Hard is a polarizing pick. It rewards patience and reflexes, with 62% of players earning achievements despite a 38% drop-off rate after hour two. At $19.99, it’s a budget-friendly test of coordination. Best for fans of physics puzzles or co-op chaos. Skip if you dislike punishing repetition. The 86% completion rate for co-op shows it’s worth trying with a friend, but be ready to scream together.
