Swap Sticks

Features
Read full description

Swap Sticks is a satisfying puzzle game where you swap colorful stick stacks and create the perfect alignments! Move stacks around the grid and arrange sticks of the same color in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines. When matching sticks line up correctly, they pop and disappear! Each stack can contain up to three sticks with different rotations, so every swap can change the board in unexpected ways. With limited moves available, you'll need to plan carefully and make every swap count. Clear all the sticks from the board before you run out of moves to complete the level. Can you find the perfect swaps and pop them all? Enjoy.
