Rather mediocre under the polished exterior 0
The game starts out quite promising. The graphic look really nice, featuring a 2D side scroller look that is enriched with tons of zoom, paralax and light effects that make the graphics pop-out without the need to use fully fleded 3D models.

The Swapper - a metaphysical puzzle game 0
You can immediately tell that the swapper was made by people with a passion and a story they wanted to tell. Everything from the cleverly designed puzzles, to the haunting music, to the lovingly crafted "claymation" environments, all of this screams of a game made by very dedicated people who have talent and drive.
