Swapper

Player notes

About this game

Swapper is a mouse-controlled tile puzzle. The game's instructions set a board-clearing goal: remove all pieces by swapping neighbouring tiles so matching pieces come together. Choosing a pair is a two-step action, and the second tile must sit beside the first.

Left-click a tile to mark it, then left-click an adjacent tile to exchange them. Right-click cancels the current selection. Use that cancellation before choosing a different pair if you change your mind.

Look at the pieces that will remain after a match rather than only the pair immediately under the pointer. A swap can change the useful neighbouring pairs around it. The controls described here follow the help embedded in this DOS build, which uses tile selection instead of keyboard movement or dragging.
