Facepalm Games and Curve Digital are bring the sci-fi puzzle class off of the humble PC platform and onto Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PS Vita platforms as a Cross-Buy title no less. As you can see from their homepage The Swapper won a shitload of awards and also has 1,426 reviews up on Steam, looking for a bad review is like a needle in a haystack too, so if you love some puzzles and the far reaches of space you should be in good hands with The Swapper.
Check out the Mind-Sci PC trailer we’ve linked, it gives you a good idea of the atmosphere, dark, gloomy and isolated and how the swapping works, clone, clone, clone away! The Swapper will be released on August 5th 2014 in North America and a day later in Europe. No word on price but it’s $14.99 on Steam so I would say expect around that.

PRESS RELEASE
Curve Digital Announces New Release Date for PlayStation versions of The Swapper
Facepalm Games’ Sci-Fi Puzzle game coming to PlayStation consoles on August 5th
LONDON – 18.06.2014 – Curve Digital has announced today that the PlayStation versions of the award-winning puzzle game, The Swapper, will now be released on August 5th in North America and August 6th in Europe. The original planned release date for the game was June 24th.
The games release has been pushed back to allow developer of the PlayStation versions, Curve Studios, extra time to polish the Vita and PS3 versions of the game, which have required extra optimisation.
“The Swapper is our first indie title to really push the limits of the PlayStation 3 and Vita,” said Curve Digital Managing Director Jason Perkins. “We’ve been able to really throw the power of the PS4 at the game, but we also want to ensure that when the game comes out, it looks great and runs well at 30 FPS on hardware that, in the case of the PlayStation 3, is over seven years old.”
The Swapper will be available as a Cross-Buy title on all three PlayStation platforms at launch, and players will be able to pre-order the game at a discount from early July. Review codes will be available to the press in early July and press should contact Curve Digital’s PR Department to request to be added to the press list for when codes are available.
