Really fun idea! Feels like a rage game at times :P
Please release this for Android
Wonderful game.
Great game i enjoyed playing it!!
i love how the mechanic of the game is introduced and how i can combine the guns to get past some section. i really love the mechanic of this game!!
i put the whole walkthrough if anybody has a struggle beating it.
Found this cool secret
Took me forever on this last part
you can skip the last part very easily just go to the right side and jump up there its the cloud with the grenade launcher
I hate it, it's awesome
i had to use a trackpad but I was able to do it
Finally, I think this is the world record.
very nice i think the world record is my 2:29:90
you can join the discord that's linked in the speedrun.com forums
where can i find the discord ??? i can't find it in speeprun.com in switchblade
A very difficult but fun game! At first, I thought it was a game like Getting Over It, where you slowly progress using pivot points and force. But as I collected weapons, the gameplay changed in a great way, and combining multiple weapons made it even more thrilling! The game design is truly impressive.
In short, it was so much fun, meow~! 🐱
Hi Great game I own Chromebook and I would like to play offline but Chromebook only allows web could you add an HTML download for this
It's interesting as game platformer.
I'm a beginner game developer, feel free to play my game if you'd like.

Support me please.
I need your feedback.
nice game!
love the challenge and idea, could not get out of a pit tho
(not your fault i'm just kinda dumb :P )
well i don't know how the other people get 2 hours but i got 23 minutes on my first run
bruh
was it the last hard part that took you so long becuse you can skip that
the cloud part was the one that took long
also guess what
o wow nice its pretty fun to speedrun try it
yea you can just skip the end you need to go out to the side of the cloud when you got the grenade launcher its where the red x sign is you can then boost yourself and shoot with the other guns to reach the top and win you can even do it without the gun that's how people get 3 minutes
im pretty sure its 2 minutes not 2 hours unless its a post i haven't seen yet that has 2 hours
its right under your reply
I FINALLY did it, i don't know how people get 33 minutes on their first run
great run
is there any way to fullscreen the application?
alt-enter and F11 don't work
use the square button on windows
or are u using an apple laptop
I finally got an actual good time with really good execution :D
I think I had a pretty clever route too:
💀👍
what's your route?
Regular route to get to sword and out, but I skip the gun and go to the shotgun. Use the momentum from the first drop to go far and do a skip to leave early. From the exit, I use the momentum to get to the clouds and climb until getting the grenade launcher. From there I go to the right side (although left is probably faster) and skip the rest of the level.
i cant get past this part, can anybody help?
you need to use sword first, then 2/3
only all three weapons can give you enough vertical velocity
i try that but theres cooldowns on the weapons, i can just BARELY activate 2 weapons in one jump after losing like 99% of my height
I finally did it, turns out if i hold left mouse on the last shot of the first weapon i use, the second has no cooldown
how am i meant to get past this part? am i just incredibly stupid?
you need to use your 4 to bang three buttons in the proper order
wait whats the proper order tho
yes.
you can skip the second gun.... yeah, i think im little tryhard
I rarely comment or rate games, but this game definitely deserves 5 stars. I was hooked with this game's easy to understand, hard to master mechanics, and the loveable art style. My only critique is that there is only 4 weapons. I NEED a sequel right now!!!
Unlike Getting Over It, this game was not intended to cause immense frustration!
It was fun!
challenging but fun, great game
accidentally got the sniper before the pistol but it worked out somehow
Es muy bueno para desafiar a un amigo o una familiar a quien lo termina más rápido 10000/100
the stick nades froze it
Getting over it, But with a knife?
SOOOOOOO good but so hard😭😭😭i got to a good portion of cloud area tho
The game’s cover caught my eye, which is good because the game itself is excellent. The weapon and ability designs are really cool. I felt a little frustrated when the map opened up towards the end, but pay attention to the signs—for some reason, I found it surprisingly easy to forget to check them. Overall, it’s an excellent game with a good challenge and solid mechanics.
I just wish other controls would be more comfortable, as the mouse feels a little awkward to me—like having to press the space bar to activate abilities while moving with the keyboard or even the mouse. But if the idea of using the mouse is part of the game’s design to increase the difficulty, then that’s fine.
I don’t write in English very well, so I translated this with the help of google translate.
This game literally has nothing to it. You simply twirl around as a fork on a hill, never to make any meaningful progress. You might THINK there's more to the game given that it's called Switchblade, and that they have a bunch of fake videos doing other stuff on their webpage. I promise there's really nothing up there, and I would know because I've been twirling around on this game for 20, mabye 30 hours. If you want to waste your time then go ahead.
lol bro can't even get past the tutorial😂😂😂😂😂
damn bro, you that bad at the game???? i got to the first sword in about 2 minutes so major skill issue lmao. you go from fork to sword and i just now got a gun so maybe play and get good at the game before accusing of random stuff
i just wathced a video with that, word for word. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/caKXt9uUHaI
Bro is an IGN journalist
I was really stuck like that the first time, until I realized I could rotate slowly lol
bro all these replies did NOT get the joke
nah is this the guy whu made that one yt short
It needs a reset button
I Think this is World Record
Very fun game! Would recommend. It was a little difficult but very enjoyable!
I FOUND A GAME BREAKING SKIP (when you get to cloud area you can just launch yourself on to the game end area)
The game's incredible!
I thought I got soft locked after accidentally quitting and then pressing "continue". Because I became the blender again. But then I accidentally scrolled and became a normal gun back
it took me a while to realize you could switch back to earlier weapon
Yeah, I accidentally scrolled
