About the Game

The Swap is a minimalist psychological puzzle game that challenges your perception and attention.

You are placed in a room where every 30 seconds one object changes — its color or rotation. Your task is simple: spot the altered object and click on it. But be careful — mistakes cost lives, and you only have three.

As the rounds continue, the tension builds. Music grows darker, your focus is tested, and one wrong choice can end your run. The game never ends — your only goal is to survive as long as you can and push your score higher.

🔹 Features:

  • Endless gameplay loop — no victory, only survival.

  • Objects shift in different ways: colors or rotations.

  • Minimalist design with psychological atmosphere.

  • Three lives — lose them all, and the run resets.

  • Adjustable settings: audio, graphics, gameplay options.

Can you trust your eyes? Or will the room deceive you?
