Flip Wars is a single player and multiplayer puzzle game. It was developed by Over Fence and was released on May 18, 2017. It received negative reviews from critics.
"This tense multiplayer action game will have you stomping to flip over panels—and unwitting opponents! To win, flip the most panels to your color in local battles, online*, or single-player. The more you flip, the faster you’ll move in a mad dash to nab power ups. Increase your flip range, turn invincible, and more across 3 modes and 12 arenas! Compete alone or against up to 3 players to see who…
- Great local multiplayer experience that is fun with friends.
- Simple concept that is easy for anyone to pick up and play.
- Offers an array of stage gimmicks and has potential for future expansion.
- Online play is currently poor with missing game modes and spotty connections.
- Lacks depth and content, leading to repetitive and shallow gameplay.
- Limited single player value and overall feels incomplete.

Gameplay reviews highlight a stark contrast: while some players appreciate the variety of stages and engaging multiplayer modes, others criticize the repetitive and dull mechanics, leading to a lack of motivation to continue playing. Overall, the gameplay experience is seen as inconsistent, with significant room for improvement.
“The game features a fine amount of stages, nifty gameplay mechanics, and three solid multiplayer modes.”
“The level of repetition, dull gameplay, and boring visuals do nothing to make players want to continue the flip wars, and it’s ultimately a failure in almost every sense.”
Flip Wars Review
Flip Wars has a great premise for multiplayer fun, especially for local battles. Joining your mates huddled around a Switch the concept works nicely, but in an age where online gaming is bigger than ever you'd think a game like this would nail online play at release. Instead there are missing game modes and spotty online connections will put some people off this very enjoyable title. Due to its early access-like feel it might be worth saving your pennies for a few weeks before splashing out on Flip Wars, to see if the promised future updates will actually deliver the modes that aren't available right now and iron out the kinks in servers. The game has some real potential as a fun multiplayer game, offline and online, but right now Flip Wars isn't quite as good as it could be.
60%Flip-Off: Flip Wars review
Flip Wars is a very simple, shallow party game. It's not actively terrible, but it barely offers anything to do. It only costs $9.99, so if you think it looks really fun, it might not hurt to buy it. Someone else might like it more than I do. But personally, for that amount, I’d much rather have Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, since that offers far greater enjoyment over a longer period than the few minutes I had with this game.

There are some titles that have high replay value despite their simplicity, but Flip Wars is not one of them, as this is nothing but a simple mini-game turned full game. In other words, while this is definitely cheaper, better save that pizza money for Splatoon 2… or pizza.
