Game Description
The Swapper, also known as The Swapper: Mind-Bending Clone Puzzles, throws you into an eerie space station where your main tool is a cloning gun. Sound odd? It kind of is. You’ll create copies of yourself to solve puzzles and navigate weird, quiet corridors. It’s not your typical platform game, and that’s what makes it interesting. If you’re into thinking ahead and figuring out how to make clones work for you—this one might just stick with you.
What’s The Swapper About?
The game mixes classic platforming with clever puzzle-solving. You’re stuck on a mysterious space station and use a gadget to clone yourself. These clones do exactly what you do, which leads to some serious mind gymnastics. Need a challenge? You got it. The puzzles make you plan moves carefully and think outside the box—or inside a clone?
Key Features
- Cloning Mechanic: Create up to four clones that mimic your movements.
- Atmospheric Space Station: Dark, handcrafted visuals set a moody tone.
- Brain-Teasing Puzzles: Each room challenges you to use clones wisely.
- Story Hints: Discover bits of backstory through messages and terminals.

Why Should You Try It?
Not your regular jump-and-shoot. The Swapper requires patience and smarts—perfect if you like puzzles that make you scratch your head a bit. It’s kind of like chess with clones. Fun fact: lesson learned—always keep a spare clone handy. You’ll thank yourself later.
Who Made The Swapper?
Developed by the Finnish team at Facepalm Games, with input from writer Tom Jubert, The Swapper blends art and gameplay in a sci-fi setting that feels eerie yet engaging. It’s clear the developers cared a lot about atmosphere and challenge.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve played other indie puzzle platformers and want something with a sci-fi twist, give The Swapper a look. It’s not for speeding through levels, but for anyone in the mood to slow down and solve. Cloning yourself to progress? It’s as cool as it sounds.
