Swaps and Traps

Swaps and Traps - отличный платформер со своей уникальной механикой. Красивая картинка, удобное управление, наличие сюжета, всё это делает игру игру хорошей и интересной. Но уникальной ее делает кое-что другое, а именно главная ее изюминка - части уровня, которые меняют друг с другом свое положение, делая визуальное впечатление несобранной мозаики. Давайте детальней. Вы - Майк, хранитель заколдованной шляпы. В один прекрасный день, Дивайдер - главный злодей, крадет эту самую шляпу, теперь вам предстоит нелегкий путь, чтобы вернуть её. На каждом уровне нужно будет собирать проклятые ключи, когда вы будете подбирать 1 из них, части на уровне будут меняться местами, поворачиваться и даже прыгать горизонтально и вертикально, но всё это будет только визуально, а прохождение останется таким, как вы его увидели изначально. С каждым уровнем, изменений будет становиться всё больше, уровни также будут всё сложнее, так что данный платформер назвать легким не получиться, он достаточно хардкорен. Отличный платформер, который выделяется из серой массы других игр данного жанра. Помогите Майку собрать проклятые ключи и поймать Дивайдера, чтобы вернуть заколдованную шляпу на свое место.

I dig puzzle-platformers, but what excited me even more about this fun game was the fact that it was deveoped by the people I know. A long time ago, in a game jam (a game development event) far, far away, my team happened to be working at the desk next to TeamTrap's, the team that developed Swaps and Traps. The devs probably don't know about it, but it was exciting for me to watch them literally from the corner of my eye, while they were working hard on the very early prototype of Swaps and Traps. It looked like something I'd enjoy playing. I didn't know them by then but I got to meet their awesome team later on. Years went by, and one day, they decided to take the game mechanics of the early prototype and turn it into a more sophisticated platformer. I played it around the time it was released, first quarter of 2018, and this review I'm writing now is mostly based on my notes and what I remember from the experience. Swaps and Traps is a challenging platformer with a unique mechanic. The way you see the world changes as you make progress. Sounds corny, right? But I mean literally. You need to collect some keys, and every time you pick one up, a part of your viewport is distorted. The world remains the same, but the way you see it is messed up. Left becomes up, right becomes down, up and down are right and left, and many other variations. You are not sure which way to go. Also, there are a bunch of traps. Be prepared to die. A lot. Swaps and Traps is not a piece of cake. Your neck will hurt from tilting it to the sides. You will get annoyed, angry and confused. But don't worry, your struggle will be rewarded soon enough with sweet victory and a bunch of achievements, even some for failing! It's fair to say that I enjoyed the overall experience. I liked the challenge. I liked how the swapping mechanics were used brilliantly in level designs. I liked how the traps spiced the challenge up. The levels are well-crafted and tested; everything is neat and well-polished. Voice acting of the characters and their scripts are pretty entertaining and helps distract from the stress of falling off an edge or getting squished under a giant and heavy whatever. If you are looking for some tough challenge, I'd definitely recommend Swaps and Traps.

The swap mechanic is unique and makes this game stand out among the others. Nice graphics and music as well. I would definetly recommend it for people who are looking for new types of platformers.

Öncelikle oyunu oynarken Türk yapımı olduğunu biliyordum, belki biraz önyargım olmuştur oynarken ve incelerken. Hem olumlu hem olumsuz anlamda. Önce yabancı yapım zannettim oyun görsel olarak çok keyifli gözüküyordu Türk yapımı olduğunu görünce çok heyecanlandım ve hemen alıp oynamaya başladım. Öncelikle seslendirme muazzam olmuş Türkçe seslendirme duyuyorduk bazı oyunlarda ama Swaps and Traps'teki seslendirme tek kelimeyle harika. Trine'ı severek oynamış biri olarak oyun çok hoşuma gitti. Oyunlarda çabuk sinirlenen ve "beceriksiz" biri olarak bu oyunu belki 5. bölümde falan bırakmam ve bir daha oynamamak adına silmem gerekiyordu. Ama hiç sinirlendirmedi beni (buna bende şaşırdım) aksine daha çok keyif vermeye başladı dönen ekranlar zorlarken artık 180 derece dönünce iyice beynim allak bullak olmaya başladı. Hikaye'de gayet güzel ilerliyecek gibi duruyor zamanla oynama devam edeceğim. Yapımcılardan özür diliyorum çünkü Murat'ı çok hırpalıyorum sanırım... :) Yapımda emeği geçen herkesin ellerine sağlık. Devamını bekliyoruz artık...

I have been playing Swaps and Traps for some time. I needed to spend half an our to get a hold of it. After that it started to absorb me. I felt the chalange hence it became addictive. You should give it a try to see for your self, definitely a good and addictive game who want to welcome challenges

The game has a unique premise as swapping parts of the screen as you obtain keys and become closer to finish the level. It starts with simple rotations and slowly getting weirder and harder. Yes this game is hard but somehow manages to be always fair to the player. Shorter levels help you to not get frusturated to quit the game, you got frusturated just enough to make you want to finish the level in spite of the game :). As i said earlier screen swaps starts simple and gradually becomes more and more imaginative and interesting. Coupled with lots of different traps spread around the levels, the game keep supplying you with different, new and fun challenges all through out the game. I definitely recommend this game to anyone looking for small overlooked gem lying around in Steam.

Worth to play, fantastic.
