What Makes Flip's Challenge Stand Out
Flip's Challenge is a unique, logic-based puzzle game influenced by genre heavy-hitters like Sokoban, Chip's Challenge, and Lasertank. The goal is simple: to get to each level's exit. In practice, that goal is anything but simple! Blocks, holes, locked doors, and other obstacles all contrive to hinder your progress.
FEATURES:
-Classic block-pushing gameplay, with a twist!
-No enemies of any kind and no way to die…rely on your brain, not your reaction times
-Unlimited undo
-200 levels in the main level set, for casual puzzle solvers
-100 levels in the hard level set, ranging in difficulty from "mildly difficult" to "for masochistic puzzle fiends only"
-A set of levels for those new to the game, or those whose brains are temporarily nonfunctional
-Score tracking – beat your personal best!
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We LOVED playing Chips Challenge as a kid and the memory popped into our head one evening and we immediately searched for it. Flips challenge fulfills the same challenge and satisfaction. Bravo.
Its one of those games that throws up the occasional really difficult level, where you have to walk away and come back fresh to solve it. Lots of levels are quite straightforward though, so you dont feel bogged down for long periods. Edit: Ive just gotten to Level 53 on the Hard levels and yup, its impossible. Im glad you can skip levels.
We're loving this so far! Main level #119 will be the death of us. We cant seem to get this one at all.
Theyre very good at making one re-examine ones assumptions at what should be the first steps to take. However, hard level 53 is impossible to solve. Unless there is a hidden feature, something needs to be fixed for this puzzle.
This game is definitely a fun logic game to get your mind working. The only change we would suggest is to move the menu, undo, and restart buttons to the top. We are constantly hitting them when we swipe during gameplay.
Small but challenging puzzles. Great game when you need burn time waiting somewhere. Hard level #53 is flawed and not solvable so skip that one. All the rest are really fun, esp the hard level boards.
Fun puzzle game with elements from Chips challenge and Sokoban. With ice, holes, colored blocks, warps, and keys, the game is much more interesting than a typical Sokoban game. The only problem is that hard level 53 is provably impossible (also mentioned by a different reviewer). For that level, we believe the wall immediately above the green hole should be removed (possibly replaced with ice). We wouldnt let this issue stop you from the game.
We solved all 311 solvable Sokoban puzzles. #53 is obviously broken. The red hole on the right should be deleted to allow any solution. We spent about three weeks off-and-on solving these. Very enjoyable. Thanks for the challenge. What to improve? There are some puzzles that the three buttons partly hide the maze on iPad. Please add a four arrows directional control, and expand the maze to fit the screen size. Fix #53. Update: 1. We dont remember seeing any ads. Use airplane mode. 2. Only noise is intentional movement sound effect. Use mute. 3. Chips Challenge is the original game for Microsoft Windows Games Pack. Flip is a cheap knock-off idea of no adversaries, otherwise nothing newly original. Its Chips Sokoban design that makes Flip a fun game. Chips Challenge is stuck in trademark hell preventing its author from re-releasing. Flips author is not Chips author.
Flip's Challenge blends mechanics of the greatest logic games out there to make a definitive logic puzzle experience. Easy to learn, difficult to master. We love logic puzzle games and this is one of the best we've ever seen.
We got to 'hard' level 31 and found an invisible block, and then noticed that one of our green squares disappeared. The game is pretty entertaining, but on a difficult level this kind of programming flaw is frustrating.
Very fun and challenging. Would have given it 5 stars but level 53 made that not happen. You cannot beat 53 its completely impossible. There is a red block that should not be there. Fix this please. We hate that its the only level we have no finished lol.
Hard level #53 has a flaw and is not solvable but otherwise love the game so far.
Fun game! We like that there is an undo feature! You dont have to start completely over if you accidentally mess up. Like that you can skip levels and move on. We thought we solved 53, realized we were completing the medium levels. But 53 on HARD is definitely impossible to solve. Definitely hope this gets fixed.
Can anyone verify if Hard Level #18 can be solved? Im stuck. Please load the solution onto YouTube.
Ads with annoying loud sound effects pop up unexpectedly every few levels. Finished a few levels but when an ad popped up a second or third time we deleted the game.
