[ GAME ] Switcheroo
Switcheroo
Switcheroo is a new puzzle game I made in VScode!! It's also my first game post in a long time...
About
I made this game using nothing but google fonts and font awesome!! I really like how the usage of icons has really shaped this game. I'll explore more into later games ;) I also really like the transitions :D
One of my better projects, I really liked how dynamic this was!
How to play
Your goal is to make all the squares green. Click on a square to invert its whole row and column.
Can you solve this puzzle in only one move?
Answer: If you said row 1 column 4, you are correct! Because the whole row and column is inverted, the red L vanishes!
Hints
Some levels are a bit hard, so I will drop in some hints. The notation is (x,y). It denotes the position of the square to click on. Note: The puzzle doesn't get solved! It gets you to a state where you can hopefully figure it out on your own.
ONLY DO THESE WHEN YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE
| Level | Process |
|---|---|
| 4 | (1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4) |
| 5 | (1,1)(1,4)(4,4) |
| 8 | (1,1)(2,2) |
| 10 | (2,3) |
| 11 | (2,3) |
| 12 | (1,1) |
| 17 | (3,3) |
| 20 | (1,1)(1,2) |
| 21 | (1,2)(2,2) |
| 25 | (2,2)(3,3) |
| 21 | (1,2)(2,2) |
| 21 | (1,2)(2,2) |
| 26 | (3,3)(2,2) |
| 34 | (1,4) |
| 35 | (1,1) |
Strategy
The trick is to click on all the tiles that are red at the very beginning. Then after you've clicked all those, repeat. Works every time ;)

Challenges
- What is the minimum move count? I predicted 216 but @maxyang proved me wrong!
- What is the maximum amount of permutations of a 2x2 square? 3x3? 6x6?
My low score is 800! Can you beat me?
btw cactus already beat me :(
btw cactus already beat me :(
haha
Slight problem: it's not very hard to inspect element and make the win screen show up without doing any moves.
localStorageoh its fine I really liked the feedback
@ThatCoolCoderDid you know I like to switcharoo my upvote tactics?
LMAO
@RohilPatelHere's a solved upvote
Continue to the next level >>
@RohilPatel
Nice lol
@Coder100Level 2: our pe teacher made us do a switcharoo challenge today, literally lots of moving lmao
@Coder100Hey
@Coder100, I love the game. Good graphics and game-play, and refreshing to see it's been made with Vanilla JS rather than a framework or library. Is this an original game you created?noice
Look at the cookyelang docs, u will see that coder100 makes a smile on it face
which it's wrong
JK DON'T GET MAD âīšâ
Edit: makes a smile on ur face
Nice job! Fun and inventive game.
thanks!!
@fuzzyastrocat(Your second challenge reminded me that I wanted to try to make a non-trivial 2x2 puzzle game... time to get thinking!)

@poetaetoesalso lvl 11 is impossible. i tried maxyangs tricks too:(
10000000000000

also very cool game me and my friend Brayden0 have been trying to get better at this for days!
By the way this is my favorite game ever that I have played on any coding sites. Keep up the great work.
Wait i did better

@CodyTrainerno problem!
The number by the name is how many cycles you have, they're like reddit karma (pretty useless lol)
Here, let me give you one
@CodyTrainer

@CoolGuy27

@SystematicErroradding ya
@SystematicErrorgood luck getting there! You can do it!
@SystematicError
Ahhhh...
I would honestly buy this game if it had more levels and a level select. It's better than almost all of my mobile games.
hey, you know, I think I might be able to, too bad I don't have a phone :(
@IMaperson2
Squids can also change colour!

@fuzzyastrocatYeah I think so. I think they're venomous or something.
Why?
