On the surface,The Splattersmight look problematically straightforward. But that really isn’t the case, and thankfully, SpikySnail Games has a new video to help prove this point.

With the “Flip” mechanic, you’re able to reverse directions. At first glance, it looks like a mere time rewind, though it’s more complicated than that in practice. Watch the video to see what I mean. Or readSpikySnail’s blog post, which delves into some of the design theory behind the move.
