Swap This! is a two-dimensional puzzle game using the match-3 formula. The production was developed by the Dutch studio Two Tribes, which exists on the market since 2001 and specializes in small games for portable consoles and mobile devices.

Mechanics

The rules of Swap This! are extremely simple. The mission is to match colored ice cubes with frozen animals so that they form straight lines of the same color, which then explode spectacularly and disappear from the screen, releasing the animals. In order to be successful, we have to demonstrate perceptiveness, reflexes and speed, as well as strategic thinking (we have a certain amount of time to complete the board). We can change the positions of two adjacent cubes at once. The game enables us to build combos and throws various types of power-ups on the board from time to time.

Nintendo Insider: 6 / 10 by Ryan Janes

Swap This! is an adorably cute puzzler that’s quick to pick up but like all smartphone games won’t hold your attention for too long. At less than the price of a cup of coffee though you’ll have a hard time finding a game on the Switch that’s as charming or enjoyable for less.

If you're looking for a fun puzzle game that can conveniently be played with a touch screen only, no Joy-Con needed, Swap This! will provide at least a good couple of hours of fun.

Of course, it's also "just" another match-4 title, and perhaps that's why the developers didn't feel like putting the price up to something more appropriate to the size of the game. Lucky us, then; because while Swap This! is by no means going to end up on anyone's favourite games of all time lists, it's bright, pleasant, and perfect for those times that you do want a quick burst of puzzle action. And all for the cost of candy bar.
