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.

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.
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 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
The game is quite fun and I've been enjoying it. Unfortunately i seem to have hit a bit of a wall as i cannot for the life of me find where to go after escaping with the sniper. The underground area has no places to go and the elevator is blocking me from going down into the pistol area so i'm kinda lost where to go from here
Awesome infuriating platformer! It was actually really satisfying sometimes. The music is nice adds a calming vibe. Here is my first run through. I could prolly get faster, but I think I'll try out some other games. I'll prolly be back though!
This was a blast! the first fork gun made me laugh and I loved how each weapon worked. I think I cheated near the end as I just piled up all 3 grenades and launch myself up the right side, but that's kinda what I love about games like these, there is the "right way" but having the ability to make your own path is so fun. Also swapping between weapons mid flight was SOO Satisfying. You should give my game a chance if you can, its a very similar concept and I think you'd enjoy it!
It won't let me post a screenshot of my time but I made it in 13:28.95!
This is very addictive, like the clean visuals. Really like it not being too easy. Like the combination of getting yourself some speed and then launching off to cross large gaps, crazy smooth.
This is the first time I've ever played one of these rage-inducing type games, and I had a real blast with it! Every time I was just about ready to give up I managed to understand the controls a little better and make it through to another section. Pretty sure I didn't get past the tutorial area but I still had a lot of fun playing it. Really great work from you and your team, top stuff!
I streamed my playthrough of the game (the video has chapters). Check it out:

The checkpoint after the second switch door seems a bit too easy to trigger, I didn't even touch the new ground or something and could get the new point?
The walls seem way too frictiony? And sometimes, when doing two full sword charges in quick succession, my second charge doesn't push me much?
And resetting, I don't want to reset to Sword, I want to keep my form because of that, also I like Pistol more?
And now I seem to have shot the 3 door puzzle too-much and froze the game. Going 1-2-3 is too hard because the ground is too frictiony to get back up fast enough, maybe. And/ Or I'm bad at angling to get to 2 fast enough.
nope, you should be good to go, just click “Yeah.” this seems to be some kind of weird bug between Godot and HTML5 that we haven’t sorted out and couldn’t reproduce, but it won’t have any negative side effects, it’ll just make you a new save file.

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

It's the arrow you see at the very beginning of the game
the one pointing up right to the switch? i did that and now im stuck because theres just a platform with an up arrow with an impossibly high climb
lol i found the duck
i found it
GUYS BIG NEWS THERE IS ALSO A TRASH GUY
its so hard omg
mad dedication brother, that would probably be my finish time if i did the last level correctly
*Dies of peak*
OMG I FOUND THE SECRET DUCK
well done, well done indeed
I'm on the sniper part where you have to hit three triggers can anybody help me
Buddy really got trolled play the game first stupid ahhh. I havent even played the game yet and some youtuber tricked me.
lol
10/10 no flaws
loved how the 2nd weapon is not needed. great speedrun game
guys how do i get to the 4th weapon im stuck please help D:
A clever design well executed. Great job!
I love both idea and execution! Great visuals and music as well.
wow this was fun and challenging! great game
super fun!!!
Super clever, loved it! Great level design and difficulty progression, and some very fun setups to figure out. Finished first playthrough in 24:18.34
a hard but fun game
Got to the part with 4th weapon, not going to continue otherwise I will loose my mind...
I like the concept. But not game for everyone.
I can't get sub-7, damn
I got sub-7 lol
First will say, this is definitely not my type of game. Bit too hard but I think thats the point- similar to something like "getting over it".
Visuals & Music are nice, I can see this turning into a Twitch streamer ragebait game. :D
Props on getting it to be both mouse & controller supportable although both had their advantages & disadvantages made me switch between them a lot.
But I think its mainly skill issue on my end xd
Awesome infuriating platformer! It was actually really satisfying sometimes. The music is nice adds a calming vibe. Here is my first run through. I could prolly get faster, but I think I'll try out some other games. I'll prolly be back though!
Amazing job team and could definitely see this concept explored a lot more!

My time:
Fun but way too hard for me.
Hey rubic,

"This is the first time I've ever played one of these rage-inducing type games" I feel betrayed lol.
Oh true haha! I think I meant the one's with specifically difficult/weird control schemes a la "Getting over it".
The checkpoint after the second switch door seems a bit too easy to trigger, I didn't even touch the new ground or something and could get the new point?
The walls seem way too frictiony? And sometimes, when doing two full sword charges in quick succession, my second charge doesn't push me much?

And now I seem to have shot the 3 door puzzle too-much and froze the game. Going 1-2-3 is too hard because the ground is too frictiony to get back up fast enough, maybe. And/ Or I'm bad at angling to get to 2 fast enough.
When I hit "New Game", it asks if I wanna overwrite. Do I have a save I dunno about?
nope, you should be good to go, just click “Yeah.” this seems to be some kind of weird bug between Godot and HTML5 that we haven’t sorted out and couldn’t reproduce, but it won’t have any negative side effects, it’ll just make you a new save file.
