History VideoGame / MightyFlipChamps

A UsefulNotes/DSiWare game by [[Creator/WayForwardTechnologies WayForward]], later released as a Playstation Mini title. Could be a described as a platformer/puzzler hybrid as your goal is to reach the level's exit (a froggish Fishman) in each level which you must accomplish through flipping (hence the title) from the top and bottom screens to get past various obstacles.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Both Matt and Mark Bozon [[https://www.pocketgamer.com/articles/012972/interview-contra-4-developer-wayforward-talks-mighty-flip-champs-dsiware/ have stated]] that this game was inspired by their old UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor game ''Wendy: Every Witch Way'', which in turn was inspired by ''VideoGame/MetalStorm''. Mark even said that he wanted to make another game like ''Every Witch Way''.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Alta does this with her butt when climbing ladders. Due to the [[GraphicsInducedSuperDeformed style of the sprites]], it is quite goofy.

* [[CuteKitten Everythings Cuter With a Jetpack Kitten]] [[EverythingsBetterWithCows and Cow Calfs]]: They essentially act as the game's "keys."

* FishPeople: The above mentioned fishman.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Alta, the heroine does this with her butt when climbing ladders. Due to the [[GraphicsInducedSuperDeformed style of the sprites]], it is quite goofy.

* LayeredWorld: You flip between them as said above.
* LockedDoor: In many levels, the player needs to find calfs and a kitten for the fishman to teleport you out.
* MixAndMatchCritters: The calfs Alta have to collect are literally called pig-or-cows for a reason.

* NoAntagonist: There's no real enemies out to get you. Spikes, flipping into objects, and the like will kill you many times though.

* NintendoHard: Many of the later stages are extremely difficult. Almost enough to warrant tossing your [=DSi=]/3DS/Vita/PS3 controller out the window.

** The title of the world 3 music in the soundtrack is "A [[VideoGame/CaveStory Story of Caves]]."
** It also titles the world 5 music "Hell is Other Dimensions," a reference to the famous quote from ''Theatre/NoExit]]''.

* InvisibleBlocks: One of the screens in the final level has you navigating on these. [[spoiler:The trick is that the preview screen is also acting as the path for the current screen. Stay within the blocks that are showing in the next screen]].
