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.

Reception

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