About the Game

Layerformer is a 2D platformer game where you can swap between the background and foreground layers of levels to solve puzzle elements, or to get past obstacles.

Puzzles can be as simple as pushing a box onto a button, or as hard as collecting a bunch of small fragments to unlock doors.

Key Features

Many levels to challenge...

Layerformer features 6 sections with at least 10 levels for each section. Each section has their own gimmick to go with them, such as forced swapping, reduced visibility, and more!

...or just explore!

If you want to explore what Layerformer has to offer without progression, you can turn on assist settings to make the game easier. Auto unlock all sections, skip levels, and more!

Platforming focused.

Layerformer mostly focuses on the platforming mechanics. Although there is lore, it is mostly not required to fully enjoy the game. If you are looking for lore, though, you will need to to collect some Thingamajigs hidden in levels.

Add more challenge.

There are different modifiers you can activate during your playthrough to make the game more challenging. Make all levels pitch black, mirror the game's camera, and more! There are also time trials where you have to beat sections as fast as possible.

Character Customization!

You can change how you look! Become blue, red, orange, any color you want! You can also wear a top hat, a mustache, or even shoes! If you don't like the skins the game comes with, you can make your own!
