Super Swap is an action puzzle game developed by Teyon for the Nintendo DSiWare. It is available in the Nintendo DSi Shop for 500 Nintendo DSi Points.^[1]

Gameplay

Super Swap is an arcade puzzle game with elements of a match-3 genre. Blocks fall from the top of the upper screen to the bottom of the touchscreen, one by one. A player has to use a stylus to click on blocks and to drag them in one of 4 directions. Dragging enables the player to swap blocks and as a result to remove pieces off the board by making 3-in-a row or more matches. Combos can be only achieved in a horizontal or vertical row. Objects can be swapped even while they're still falling. If blocks pile above the bottom of the upper screen, it is game over.

Modes

• Classic mode - after the first 30 blocks fall from the top, blocks will appear only when a player makes a swap or match.
• Speed mode - blocks are falling down from the top of the screen constantly and faster in each stage.
• Rows mode - the whole board is filled up with blocks and a player's task is to click on and drag rows or columns to make swaps.
• Death mode - blocks are falling down from the top of the upper screen all the time. The game ends and a player loses when blocks reach the top of the upper screen.^[2]

Reception

Super Swap received an overall score of 8/10 from Nintendo Life ^[3] and a 26/30 from Wiiloveit.com.^[4]
