2	''Flip Wars'' is an action PartyGame, developed by Over Fence Co. Ltd and released for UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch worldwide on July 6th, 2017.
3
4	Four players can play locally or online, whereas they pick a colored avatar and use a Hip Drop and other moves to flip tiles on a giant board to the same color. The game includes multiple boards that each have different hazards and power-ups, thus requiring a different strategy. The game also has three modes. In Panel Battle, the winning player has the dominant color. In Knock-Out Battle, the player that knocks out other players the most frequently wins. Life Battle is an elimination mode where the last player standing without three knockouts wins.

6	!! Tropes present in this game:
7	* NoPlotNoProblem: While the game has quite a lot of tutorial text, it doesn't bother coming up with even the minimal justification for the proceedings.
8	* OneHitpointWonder: Standing on a panel that got flipped to a rival's color instantly knocks the player offscreen and forces them to respawn, with no way to tank it.
9	* OneWayVisor: Every player's character wears a full lycra suit and a motorcycle-like helmet with a completely reflective surface.
10	* PlayableMenu: Mode selection is styled as all four players' avatars running onto the floor buttons with modes' names.
11	* PowerUp: Flipping tiles sometimes reveals boost items like a flip range extender, speed boost, or an item that changes flip pattern from + to X.
12	* ShockwaveStomp: Players change the color of the panels by doing a "Hip Drop" - a move often seen in action games and colloquially known as "butt slam".
13	* TimedMission: Every match has a default time limit of 2 minutes, regardless of mode, though it can be altered beforehand.
14	* VideoGameLives: The Life Battle mode limits all players to three lives.
