Neither of these modes will set the world on fire, but they’re both excellent additions in their own right, as are the unlockable characters which add a nice aesthetic spin. The Multiplayer mode, meanwhile, is perfect for those who want to introduce the game to a friend and experience it with them. In “Endless” mode, you can (you guessed it) play G-Switch 3until you die the aim is to rack up a high score and attempt to beat your previous record, so this isn’t a mode for the completionists, more one for those who love the central loop and just want to experience it on repeat. There are other things to enjoy about the G-Switch 3 experience beyond its central gameplay loop, although they do feel ancillary compared to the main mode. The variation means no two “stages” (the game is technically a continuous level, but individual stages are broken up by goal gates) feel the same the challenge in each one is different enough to hold your interest and keep your skills feeling sharp. Sometimes they’re spike traps which will instantly murder you if you touch them, while at other times they’re simply obstructions that need to be surmounted lest you get squashed between said obstruction and the ever-encroaching left side of the screen. Hazards take many and varied forms in G-Switch 3. G-Switch 3 represents the best kind of difficulty curve it’s an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master joy that feels responsive and fun even when it’s testing your patience. It doesn’t take long for the challenge to ramp up before long you’ll be bouncing around the walls and ceiling to avoid death traps and stop yourself from falling into the lifeless void beyond the level geometry. Things start out gently enough, with the game’s organic tutorial introducing players to the concepts in a nice, straightforward fashion.
Instead, the Space key (which is your only method of control)switches your character’s orientation, moving you from the floor to the ceiling or the walls. G-Switch 3 is a platformer, but it doesn’t have a jump button. If you’ve ever played the aforementioned VVVVVV and/or Dustforce, which this game is largely reminiscent of, then you’ll know what sort of ballpark you’re in. For those who still need convincing, G-Switch 3 is a 2D platformer which takes a novel mechanic at its centre and bases its entire challenge around that mechanic.
