First time I ever asked for a refund via Steam. The game itself is kinda cute, but the controls are horrible! I played the game with an Xbox One wireless controller. The game require finely tuned controls, but they are far from it which results in a very frustrating gameplay. I've played many games with "bad" controls and always gotten use to it, but this is just way too bad. I find this game impossible to play and I would never recommend it to anyone.

About the Game
This game is hard, really hard! You’ve been warned.In Switch - Or Die Trying you play the character ‘I’ who has lost all of his friends — his friends being the other 25 letter of the English alphabet — and must help win them back by completing 75 highly challenging levels.
key Features:
- Switching mechanic; change forms between small ‘i’ and big ‘I’ this affects the worlds around you and also give you an extra jump (not to be confused with double jump)
- “Aww, so cute” main characters
- Dynamic world elements which respond to your current state.
- Split second decision making, you will have to keep your twitch reflexes sharp
- Minimalist 2D ambient art style
- Unique level progression, all levels of a world are at your disposal, complete just 10 levels to unlock a new world
- 5 distinctive worlds, each having their own theme, dynamics, enemies and challenges that complement the player controls learnt right from the start
- Speedruns, insanely difficult speedruns to test your nerves/rage/reflexes (Remember, you can always skip and come back to these later)
- Puzzles, occasionally apart from reflexes, your puzzle solving skills will be put to the test

My initial impression is mixed. I really want to like this game. It is a very interesting and unique idea. The graphics and music are appealing. But there are two very serious problems, either one of which would mean that I cannot recommend this game. 1. For a game that advertises as being "hard-core", and "you will die all the time", the restarts are TOO SLOW. This is cardinal sin number one for this type of game. I don't want to listen to a sound effect and wait for a full second of black screen to try again. 2. For a game with a time goal on every level (and from what I'ven seen so far, generally very tight), there absolutely needs to be a single button to press to restart the level. Instantly (see point 1 above). May I suggest the Select button? Worse than this, how can it possibly be the case that there isn't even a "Restart" option in the pause menu? Who possibly thought this was a good idea? From what I can tell, the only way to restart the level is to (a) find a way to die (s...
Really amazing game! Its hard and I like the challenge. Definitely worth playing.
Fun little platformer. I hate lvl 1-8 though. The difficulty jump from the previous and to be honest the successive levels is insane. I died about 100 times and still didn't beat it for some reason. Wasn't enough to keep me away from the game though. Interesting double jump mechanic keeps it interesting.
