BackFlipped

The Left or Right arrow keys propel you into that direction, and if you hit a block, you score points. When you touch a block but then move away, it moves backwards. The better you play, the more blocks will move to the other side, increasing score potential.

BackFlipped was submitted to the js13kGames 2019 competition by Tom Hermans. It earned competition recognition. Like every js13k entry, the entire game — code, art, and audio — fits in 13 kilobytes, a constraint that rewards focused, clever design over bulk. While this game has levels, each level is actually just a randomness seed set to a certain value.

The Left or Right arrow keys propel you into that direction, and if you hit a block, you score points. When you touch a block but then move away, it moves backwards. Once you reach the bottom of the well, gravity flips and you move to the background yourself.
