Mr Flips

About Mr Flips

Mr Flips puts you in control of a ragdoll gymnast whose whole routine hangs on a single button. You crouch, launch into the air, rotate, and then have to straighten out before the ground arrives. There is no run-up and no way to correct a jump once it has started.

Each level tightens the landing zone, so the gap between a clean landing and a faceplant comes down to a fraction of a second. It is a physics stunt game that rewards rhythm rather than button mashing.

How to Play Mr Flips

A run in Mr Flips is one jump. You crouch to charge, release to launch, hold in the air to rotate, then release again to straighten out before the ground arrives. There is no run-up and no way to correct a jump once it has started, so every attempt is decided by when you let go.

Levels are short and scored on the landing rather than the rotation. A clean two-flip landing beats a messy four-flip crash, so treat the first few attempts on a new level as calibration for how much height the jump gives you.

The release that matters is the second one, not the first. Charge length decides height, but straightening out too late means landing on your head, and the ragdoll keeps rotating for a moment after you let go - so release a fraction earlier than feels right.

Tips for Mr Flips

• Release slightly earlier than feels right - the ragdoll keeps rotating after you let go.
• Landing on your feet scores. Landing on your head ends the attempt.
• Watch the ground shadow to judge when to straighten up.
• Charge fully on wide landing zones and short-charge on narrow ones. Height is only useful if you still have room to straighten out.
• Do not add rotations on a level you have not landed yet. Land it once, then make it harder.
