The Swapper is a short puzzle platformer where you must complete every puzzle and collect 124 orbs, in groups of 3 and 9 later on, to complete the game. The game has a tool which lets you create up to 4 clones and switch between them as long as you have a clear line of sight. The main obstacles for the puzzles are 3 kinds of lights that interfere with the tool in different ways to make the puzzles harder. Achievements/Trophies are tied to hidden consoles instead of story progress so a guide will most likely be needed to find all 10.
Runs well on modern hardware.

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
[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]
Nice and simple puzzle game, with strong mechanics that will be nicely used until the very end, every time a little more challenging. Lore is kinda interesting but the main point by far are the puzzles.
