The Swapper

Recommended Posts

Has anyone played The Swapper yet?  I can't get it to run on my system.  Apparently there are a lot of people having issues, something about not working with Intel GPUs.  The developer is aware of the bug and working on a fix but there's no ETA so I'm stuck for now.  It looks like fun and I like the clay art style.  Bums me out that I can't play it.  Also, I like that the achievements are simply "I, II, III, IV... X"

Style is pretty good! Played a couple of hours yesterday, didn't get really hard yet.

Finished it. It didn't get incredibly hard for me, but some puzzles took a few minutes of figuring out. Sound and visual design is great, and the puzzles are nicely structured.

 

What I didn't like is the gravity-switching puzzles -- but I generally don't like those in platformers (they didn't seem quite as out of place as in Limbo, but the situation is very similar where the final part of the game relies entirely on gravity switching).

I had completely forgotten about the gravity-switching. I guess they did mix things up later in the game after all.

 

The feeling you get when you come up with a solution after struggling for a while is incredible. It's like your brain physically expanded a little.

I also can't play it at the moment because the only working PC I have in the house right now is a laptop with the Intel HD 4000. What's crazy is it will run something graphically intense like Company of Heroes 2 just fine, but not this. Oh well.

 

The bottom line is Intel's graphics cards, although much better than they used to be, are still kind of a joke.

I want to make sure that I post in all The Swapper threads, lest the universe get to an inconsistent state.

That.
