A match-3 puzzle game, in which we combine colored ice cubes with frozen animals. Swap This! offers four gameplay modes as well as full support for touch screen controls.
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.
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.
Developers have prepared a total of four single player modes - Minute Match, Wave Mode, Fish Fight and Puzzle, which differ from each other in terms of game rules.
Swap This! offers colorful, two-dimensional comic-book-like graphics with a variety of special effects and animations to enrich the gameplay experience. A matching energetic soundtrack was also prepared.

With its very colorful and cheery presentation through and through it’s certainly pretty relaxing to play, assuming matching groups of same-colored fish doesn’t stress you out in principle alone...
