Every board is a handful of sweets on a violet island, seen from the front and a little above. Four in a row leaves a rocket behind, an L or a T a bomb, five in a row a prism — and two of those swapped into each other make something bigger still.
Each level asks for something: a score, a number of one colour, all the glaze polished away, every crate broken, the little robots walked home. You get a set number of moves and three stars to chase. There are no lives to run out of, so a lost level costs you nothing but another go.
Free permanently, like everything else here — no advertising, no in-app purchases, no subscription. The boosters are earned by playing; there is no shop to buy them in.

How it plays
Swap, match, pop.
One move, and a board that keeps answering it.
01
Swap two neighbours
Swipe a piece into the one beside it, or tap one and then the other. Three or more of a colour in a line pop, and everything above falls into the gap.
02
Make something bigger
Four in a row leaves a rocket, an L or a T a bomb, five a prism. Swap two specials into each other and they go off together.
03
Clear the goal
Do what the level asks within its moves. Moves left over turn into rockets for a bonus, and the score decides one, two or three stars.
Five worlds
Ten levels each, one new idea.
Every world has its own light and its own music, and brings one new thing to the board.
The Garden
Daylight and open sky. Where you learn the swap, the rocket, the bomb, the prism, and what two of them do together.
The Orchard
Dawn among the fruit trees. Glaze under the pieces, sometimes two coats of it, polished off by matching on top.
The Coast
Dusk by the sea. Crates that hold up the column above them until a match beside them breaks them open.
The Starry Night
Locked pieces, and the little robots that drop in with the sweets and walk home once they reach the bottom.
The Crystal Cave
Underground and glittering. Everything at once, often with three goals on the same board.
What pops what
Rockets, bombs and prisms.
Every special is something you made on purpose. The best moves are the ones that make two and then swap them into each other.
01
Rocket
Four in a row. Clears a whole row or column, across the line you matched.
02
Bomb
An L or a T. Clears everything within two squares of it.
03
Prism
Five in a row. Swap it with a piece and every piece of that colour goes.
04
Rocket + rocket
A cross: one full row and one full column at once.
05
Rocket + bomb
Three rows and three columns, straight through the board.
06
Bomb + bomb
The same blast, much bigger.
07
Prism + special
Every piece of one colour turns into that special, and then they all go off.
08
Prism + prism
The whole board.
What is in the build
Eight things, and then it is finished.
01
Five worlds
A garden, an orchard, a coast, a starry night and a crystal cave, each with its own light, its own music and a new idea.
02
Fifty levels
Hand-made, ten per world, each with goals of its own and three stars to earn. The move counts come from a bot that played every level ten times.
03
A puzzle a day
The same board for everyone, one a day, with a streak for coming back to it.
04
An endless run
Generated boards that get a little harder with every step, each one measured before you see it.
05
Boosters you earn
A hammer, a free swap, a shuffle and five extra moves. You start with some and earn more by playing well; none of them is for sale.
06
No lives, no timers
Lose a level and you simply play it again. Nothing counts down between goes, and nothing waits for you to come back.
07
Shape as well as colour
Hearts, diamonds, cubes, stars, hexagons and drops: every piece has its own shape, so the board reads without the colours too.
08

Questions
The things people ask first.
Where can I get SWAP?
On Google Play, for Android. SWAP went live on 29 September 2026 and is published under Aivion Studios, the studio MiniScape Games belongs to. It is rated PEGI 3.
What does SWAP cost?
Nothing. It is free permanently, with no advertising, no in-app purchases and no subscription. The boosters are earned in the game and cannot be bought.
How do you play it?
Swipe a piece into its neighbour, or tap the two. Three or more of a colour in a line pop and the pieces above fall into the gap. Each level has goals to reach within a set number of moves.
Are there lives or timers?
No. Lose a level and you can play it again straight away. Nothing counts down and nothing makes you wait.
How many levels are there?
Fifty hand-made levels across five worlds, plus a daily puzzle and an endless run of generated boards.
Can I play it if I am colour-blind?
Yes. Every piece has its own shape as well as its own colour — heart, diamond, cube, star, hexagon and drop — so the board can be read without telling the colours apart.
What language is SWAP in?
English and Dutch. You switch in the game itself, and everything it says follows.
Does SWAP work on a tablet?
Yes, and there is nothing different to install: the same build from Google Play lays itself out for the screen it is on.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. There is no account and no network call. Your progress stays in the app storage on your own phone.
