The Swapper

I don't even remember when I bought this, it was part of a humble bundle or something probably. I have no idea why I didn't play it but now that they've updated it for Steam Deck I thought I'd check it out. It hasn't aged a day, it may even feel a bit better than when I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ about with it for a bit way back when. Absolute aesthetic/art style TRIUMPH stapled to an excellent puzzle-platformer with a real sci-fi story. We didn't know how good we had it lads! The only complaint I have is that they do a bunch of no-clip secrets that have a lot of extra info about the story that I wish they would have just left in the game. If you haven't played through this yet, have a good pair of noise cancelling headphones and 3-4 hours free this is a terrific way to spend the time!

A humanidade finalmente alcançou as estrelas como sempre sonhou, mas o progresso veio como uma 'venda casada' de valores astronômicos. Isso nos obrigou a buscar, incansavelmente em outros mundos, minerais e recursos essenciais para garantir tanto a evolução contínua quanto a própria perpetuação da vida. Sete equipes avançadas foram enviadas para planetas distintos. Uma delas, operando na estação Theseus, descobriu rochas promissoras no planeta Chori V. Graças a essas rochas foi possível o desenvolvimento da The Swapper: um dispositivo capaz de criar até quatro clones e transferir a consciência entre eles. Embora a criação do equipamento fosse considerado a nova galinha dos ovos dourados, algo terrível aconteceu com a equipe de Theseus. O jogador deve explorar o local para compreender o que de fato aconteceu com todos. * Indie; * Jogo 2D plataforma/puzzle; * Os puzzles são bem simples no início mas depois ficam complexos; * Os cenários foram feitos de argila e a animação em stop motion; * Inspirado por ficção científica clássica; * É um jogo curto, mas é bem fácil ficar preso por um bom tempo fritando os miolos, tentando descobrir a solução correta para avançar; * Filosófico; * Não é impossível encontrar o jogo com 85% de desconto.

[h1] 2013 release date doesn't matter because gameplay is well made. Eject projections of your character making them multiple duplicates to solve puzzles. Great level design. No sequel is the biggest con here! [/h1]

This is a short and thought-provoking puzzle game. I originally played this game on Xbox One years ago, and it's just as good as I remember it being. Its visually distinctive claymation-like graphics definitely make it stand out in its category. The story's subject matter on the philosophy of mind also kept me thinking about the nature of consciousness, and the nods to philosophers was a nice touch. For a 2013 game, it's still worth a purchase.

Great puzzle game that doesn't outstay its welcome

Коротка хороша головоломка. Більшість рівнів природньо будують механіки без стрибків в лозіці. Тільки один раз вирішення проблеми потребувало використання прийому, який не було пояснено до цього і який досі мені здається неочевидним. Цікаво зроблений візуал з глини і підручних матеріалів. Вічна науково-фантастична тема свідомості/душі чудово переплітається з і доповнюється ігроладом.

game starts out as the swapper: every puzzle is body swapping related and fun game becomes the flipper: every puzzle is about reversing gravity and measuring out how many steps on the floor the clones have to walk from a to b to solve a puzzle its confusing in the wrong way i did not enjoy the flipper

Fun game, but gave up when the puzzles got too complicated.

Nice idea with the swapper and the question, what a soul is - i would've loved to get to the ending, and see the reveal what it is about the stones and stuff. But you need all the orbs for it and there is just one puzzle, that i dont even can do with a guide, so i can't be bothered. Some of them are just to finnicky and annoying.

Interesante juego lleno de puzzle, creo que le vendria bien soporte para otros idiomas pero en general la jugabilidad lo vi muy chevere. No me gusta el aspecto de que los logros vengan de lugares que si no visitas antes del ultimo punto desbloqueable pues te tocara volver a jugar otra partida desde cero.
