Swapperoo - the friendly puzzle game intent on your defeat. *New: the INFINITY update - Endless, Gauntlet and Timed Gauntlet modes! "incredibly clever, deeply strategic, has an inviting visual style that begs to be interacted with, and is just plain fun." Touch Arcade, 5 stars ***** The rules are simple: tap an arrow to move it in the direction it faces. Make a row of 3 tiles of the same color and the tiles disappear. If that sounds too easy, don't worry - you'll find yourself in situations that require clever manipulation of the game board. There's an assortment of objectives to keep you on your toes: tiles that chase you, tiles that must be matched within a few moves, tiles that must be protected, and lots more. As well as 38 freeform stages which play out differently every time, we have created 75 challenges with unique solutions and an endless mode, so the game is crammed with content to keep you busy! Crafted with care for your phone and tablet by the creators of the Quell puzzle trilogy. Thanks! Joe and Lewis (Fallen Tree Games).
