A downloadable game

Welcome to the "Switch Bit" prototype stage!

Switch bit is a simple phase shift first person puzzle game that shifts between two different "timelines" or "scenes" with objects scattered around the map for the player to pick up and use to get from point A to point B. Once you have reached and entered the purple door on the top floor you have officially made it to point B. Can you solve the puzzle? 

(This game features VERY basic game mechanics and is a proof of concept, more variables will be added with time and will release in the final game)


Controls:

W,A,S,D: Move Around

Space Bar: Jump

F: Switch Scene/ Timeline Between A and B

Move Mouse; Look around

Click and Hold: Pick Up Object

Release Click: Drop Object

Wall Run:  While moving forward and JUMPING alongside a wall (Space Bar), hold down either the "A" OR "D" key depending on what side the wall is on. Make sure player is also moving forward at the same time by holding down the "W" key.

Exit Application: Alt F4 (be sure not to have any other applications running while playing this game)

Developer Notes:

-This game is a proof of concept prototype and is VERY early in its development. While playing you may experience some bugs and glitches. When you have finished playing the game please email gabrielannan2019@gmail.com and feel free to include positive and/or negative outlooks on your personal experience with this game. DO NOT HOLD BACK, all critical feedback is taken into account to help build on the final product. Your voice matters!


-Physics in this game are not yet nailed down and are a work in progress, when ascending an incline while holding an object you will notice the object the player is holding will tend to phase through the map and/or other objects, be sure to unclick and grab the object again and again while attempting to ascend these ramps and inclines until the player has reached the top, this will be fixed in a later update.
