SwitchBlade

In SwitchBlade, you are tasked with fighting your doppelganger in a 1v1 brawl to the death. You and your opponent find yourselves in a special arena, with the power to switch between it and a noir mirror world. Take advantage of the differences between the mirror world and our world to weave between the platforms and catch your opponent off guard. Switch sides to gain the advantage and avoid attacks, or to get the high ground and unleash your own onslaught.

The main fighting theme is adaptable! Each character is assigned a melodic line, which becomes louder in the mix when they're winning, and their melody is swapped out with an upside-down variant when they switch to the other side of the screen. The melodies are designed to interact with each other through polyrhythm, polymeter, and counterpoint, and there are about 72 melodic combinations possible in the game.
