Swap Motion

Swap Motion is a puzzle platformer where you play as a little blob named Green who must reach a flag to clear a stage. There are 18 stages in the game.

In this game, you can swap the motion behavior between the object you're controlling and an another object such as an enemy. Press the Shift key while playing to pause the game and enter swapping mode, then click on an object to swap. After swapping, the swapped object will be in your control, and you can swap another object with the newly controlled object, and so forth. Swapping switches motion behavior such as responding to player input, automatic movement patterns, whether an object is affected by gravity, whether an object will bounce off the ground, and so forth. In order to clear the stage, the Green character must reach the flag regardless of which object you're controlling!
