Flipping Is Hard / Creators

Creator hub

Flipping Is Hard was built to be watched: a phone doing a ridiculous flip, a near-save, then a horrible fall. You are welcome to stream it and monetize your videos. Here is everything to make it easier.

Streaming & monetization policy

Yes, go ahead

  • Live streams on Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok and anywhere else, from launch day onward.
  • Monetized videos, Shorts, Reels and clip compilations.
  • Using the trailer, screenshots, logo and key art in thumbnails, overlays and edits.
  • Reviews, rage compilations, speedruns and co-op chaos.
  • Demo content until September 28, 2026, when the free demo comes down.

We'd appreciate

  • A link to the Steam page in your description.
  • Keeping ending and final-boss spoilers out of titles and thumbnails.
  • A tag or ping so we can share your video: @ElegantHorseStd, or post it in our Discord.

No permission email needed. This page is your written permission to create and monetize content with Flipping Is Hard.

Getting a key

Launch is October 16, 2026. We send keys to creators before release so you can be ready on day one. Email team@eleganthorsestudios.com with:

  • Your channel link and platform
  • Rough average views or live viewers (every size is welcome)
  • What you plan to make: stream, video, co-op session, speedrun
  • How many extra keys you need for co-op friends

Want to try it right now? The free Steam demo covers the first three areas (about 1.5 hours). It comes down on September 28, 2026.

Embargo: anything recorded with a pre-release key can go live from October 16, 2026, launch day. Record early, publish then.

What makes good content

The "one more try" stream

Play on Flipping Is Hard mode, no checkpoints. The falls are the content, and chat will absolutely help. Calm ambience plays the whole time, which makes it worse.

Co-op chaos

Bring friends. Use the Help Beam to "save" them, which sends you bouncing around uncontrollably. Proximity voice means you hear every scream up close.

Story run

Flipping Is Chill gives you collectable checkpoints. Great for a relaxed first playthrough that follows the Narrator, the NPCs and the twists.

Speedruns & challenges

Quick restarts and an in-game timer. Check speedrun.com for routes and times, or take on the NPC challenges for rare cosmetics.

Phone OS and calls

Open Flippy's phone mid-climb for retro mini-games and stats. Incoming calls meant for Jeff tend to arrive at the worst possible moment.

A Narrator visit

The Narrator's voice actor has dropped into lobbies before to troll players live, and those clips passed 7 million views. Planning a big stream? Ask us about it.

Co-op setup for streams

  • Up to 16 players in one lobby, joined through Steam Friends.
  • Private, friends-only or invite-only lobbies with Steam authentication. Uninvited viewers can't jump in.
  • Every player needs their own copy of the game. Ask us for extra keys for your group.
  • Proximity voice chat is built in. If you already use Discord, you can mute in-game voice.
  • Controllers: full controller support, including DualShock and DualSense.

Spoiler guide

Safe to show anywhere

The first four areas (Storm Drain, Cardboard Fort, The Playground, Candyland), the movement, co-op, the Phone OS, customization, and any NPC you meet early on.

Please keep out of titles & thumbnails

What happens in the Recycling Core and beyond, the final boss, the ending, and anything the Narrator reveals late in the game. Showing them in the video itself is fine.

Thumbnail & overlay assets

Cut-out Flippy renders and the logo are transparent PNGs, ready to drop into a thumbnail.
