A Swappy Story

"Everyone says the protagonist’s sprite looks terrible. That’s right. If it looks too good, you’ll have a different expectation."

—Toby Fox, Undertale™ Art Book

Concept

A Swappy Story is my personal take on Underswap. While Undertale is stylistically based on JRPG graphics and mechanics, A Swappy Story is based on crappy (affectionate) edutainment computer games, and is heavily stylistically inspired by the graphics of solnet.ee games and Gilead Success with Phonics in particular.

In terms of gameplay, A Swappy Story is a point-and-click game. In each area, there are five or so doors which each lead to a logic puzzle, of which you have to complete three variations. After completing these logic puzzles, you will have a monster encounter. Once you complete this encounter, you will get a checkmark for the door. Once you collect all the checkmarks in an area, you may encounter the final boss. Each area also has leisure activities that can award you items, such as memory games and colouring sheets.

Characters

Rufus - Equivalent to the Annoying Dog, takes the place of Flowey. A generic looking Russell Terrier with a blue cape, sets himself up to be the "dog sidekick" but in reality is just as cold as Flowey. His Omega Flowey equivalent is a messed-up werewolf-looking creature in a DOOM-like battle.
Dreamcatcher Dimitri - Equivalent to Asgore, takes the place of Toriel. A cream-coloured goat with a grey beard in a starry purple wizard robe and hat. He is just as much of a pushover as Asgore.
Presley - Equivalent to Papyrus, takes the place of Sans. Appears as a magnifying glass with a single eye through the lens. Is about as boisterous as Papyrus, though doesn’t talk in all caps. Wears a lot of costumes.
