HappySwiper
Read full descriptionHide full description
HappySwiper is a simple offline solo game played by swiping squares in a rectangular grid. The first level is a 3 by 3 grid, higher levels are more difficult with more rows and columns. Start the game with the Shuffle button that will scramble all squares. The game shows a grid with different pictures, some of which have a Happy Face. The aim of the game is to swipe the rows and columns until all the pictures in the grid show the Happy Face. Levels 1 and 2 are easy but the subsequent levels are a lot more difficult. Once you have completed a level you can move on to the next level with more rows and columns. Game does not contain ads and the free download has 2 free levels. Playing the higher levels needs a small in app purchase. The language in the game is English or Dutch (can be set).
