You have just escaped from a mental institution. You’re on the run. The sun is shining, the birds are singing. You are jumping happily from cloud to cloud. You know that t he only way to freedom is by reaching the ship at the end of the level. A cute bunny is jumping towards you, blocking your path. By pushing a button the whole world flips around and shows its dark side. The bunny is now an evil nurse who is trying to stop you from getting away. You headbutt her, clearing your path. With a push of the button the world flips back and shows its light side again. Play FLIPSIDE and see the world through the eyes of a madman. Spin the world from a peaceful, sunny scene to a dark, dreary landscape. Turn innocent creatures into horrible enemies. Sound crazy? Well, it is!

Thank god for University mod teams. They’re the only people we can depend on to bring us finished products of solid quality in a reasonable amount of time. Though these mods are not always heavy on length and lasting entertainment, they often present marvelously original ideas that we often don't find in other modifications. FLIPSIDE, created by students of the National Academy of Digital Interactive Entertainment, is a nice display of creativity that only partially lives up to its' interesting premise.
Players are cast as Hannibal Hildorf, an escapee from a mental institution. Hildorf's mind is obviously not quite stable, as the landscape around him rapidly changes into bizarre extremes. In order to escape this madness--well, as much as any psychotic wanderer truly can--you must make your way to the end of a 2D level.
The world of FLIPSIDE is divided into two sides: the evil side and the good side. The good side is a place of grassy hills and blue skies, with cute little bunnies and bumblebees right out of a Disney movie. Now, hit the “Enter” key and you enter the Evil side. Everything becomes dark and creepy, a scene right out of a horror movie, and what was once a cute little bunny suddenly becomes an evil nurse, out to kill you.
