About the Game

This game will test your sanity, your phone skills, and your friendships. You can either:

  • Play Solo: like some insane person who loves to suffer

  • Play Online CO-OP: and split the suffering among your friends group (more healthy)

Meet Flippy - the Brickphone!

All of this happened because little Jeff slipped on a strategically placed banana peel and yeeted the phone into a storm drain... Now Jeff and Flippy are separated and feeling sad... But You have the power to fix this! Use your phone-flipping skills to reunite them and give them a happy ending!

The Features!

  • Rotate-Only Movement – Flippy doesn't have legs... Your only movements are rotation and a vibration jump.

  • Brutal Climb – Small mistake, big drop. 10 different childhood areas and a clear goal - reach the top and reunite with little Jeff.

  • Online Co-Op Chaos – 1–4 players. Pull friends up. Drop them “by accident.” Friendship DLC not included.

  • NPC Challenges – Meet quirky characters, uncover weird lore, and most importantly, TRY to complete their platforming challenges.

  • Speedrun Ready – Quick restarts are implemented so you can efficiently torture yourself with speedruns. Master the way of Flippy and make your way back to Jeff as soon as possible!

  • Checkpoint Assist (Optional) – A softer mode for when your soul needs a hug. Insane people will flame you. Use it anyway.

  • Fashionista Flippy – Customize Flippy with different phone cases, charms, and stickers! Even a phone always wants to look its best.

  • Do you Have Games on your Phone? – The answer is yes! Find, unlock, and play classic mobile games from the past. Truly a game-ception.

  • Incoming Calls – Answer random calls for Jeff and listen to all the tea. Some are heartwarming from Mom, but others can be a little more on the sketchy side.

This difficult game tests your patience. Falling is part of the challenge. Will you rise or quit when it gets tough?
