About Flipman
One tube holds two colours layered in the wrong order. A single swipe or key press decides whether Flipman pours the top colour onto an empty tube or a matching one — and whether that move clears the bottleneck or locks it further. The puzzle doesn't test how fast you can sort, but whether you read the stack before you touch it. Every level presents that same hinge moment: the half-empty tube that could be the solution or the dead end.
There’s something deeply satisfying about guiding Flipman through each perfectly designed level. You’ll swipe and strategize, figuring out the best path to sort through obstacles and line everything up just right. The smooth controls and crisp visuals make every move feel intentional. With challenging stages and a leaderboard to climb, it’s addictive puzzle-solving at its best.
How to Play Flipman
- Press W or swipe up to move Flipman upward through the tube stack.
- Press A or swipe left to shift Flipman one tube to the left.
- Press S or swipe down to pour the top colour from Flipman into the tube below.
- Press D or swipe right to shift Flipman one tube to the right.
- Sort all colours into separate tubes by matching the top colour of Flipman with the tube's top colour or an empty tube.
Game Features
- Each level presents a fixed number of tubes with colours stacked in a random initial order.
- The game uses a single-pour mechanic: Flipman carries the top colour from one tube and deposits it onto another tube's top.
- Levels progressively increase the number of tubes and colour stacks, raising the sorting depth.
- A leaderboard tracks the fewest moves used to complete each level, rewarding efficient sorting paths.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I pour a colour onto a tube with a different colour on top?
The move is blocked. Flipman only pours when the top colour matches the tube's top colour or the tube is empty. An invalid pour keeps the colour in Flipman and does not consume a move.
Can I undo a move after pouring?
No, the game does not include an undo feature. Each move is final, so you must plan ahead before pressing S or swiping down.
How are moves counted on the leaderboard?
Every successful pour counts as one move. Unsuccessful attempts (pressing S on a mismatched tube) do not add to the move count. The leaderboard shows the lowest move total achieved for each level.
