The Swapper is a science fiction platformer puzzle video game developed and published by Facepalm Games for Windows on 2013-05-13, and later ported to several other platforms. In the game's story, the scientists of a research space ship have all been killed, and you arrive to find out what happened. The game uses a mechanic popularized in Binary Land back in 1983 where the player controls multiple characters that all move in harmony with each other, however, the game really expands on the mechanic.
Contents
Personal
I bought this game in a Humble Indie Bundle. I don't remember where I learned about the game, but it stuck in my head for some reason, and I decided to play it. After a few minutes in, I was really enjoying the game, so I kept playing it.
Status
I own this game on Steam and am currently playing it.
Review
Good
- There are a lot of clever puzzles throughout the game. Some real head-scratchers.
- The story is pretty intriguing.
- The background art style and ambience is quite nice.
Bad
- Invoking dualism and various other magical descriptions of consciousness moves the game more toward fantasy than sci-fi.
- The character animation is pretty choppy.
Ugly
- Nothing.
