SwitchBlades

For Untitled Game Jam: Birthday Bash (#23)! This was made in only three days because ideas were lacking in the first few, but I felt like I had to make something because it was the birthday jam, ya know? SwitchBlades is based off of the playground kids game Ninja, and takes inspiration from games like Worms and Drive Ahead. The goal was to make a turn-based game that has real time elements with dodging involved and making it more phases than turns, with offense and defense. This happens by allowing the offensive player to move fully, but the defensive player to only move when there is an attack incoming, making it like a bullet-hell shooter for the defensive player, dodging (with time slowed down to assist them).
