Use the list below to navigate specific topics about Swipe City.
Swipe City is a relaxing, easy-to-understand game that still offers challenges to keep you engaged. Simply swipe and match similar objects to clear tiles, earn points, and unwind. With every level, the game becomes more enjoyable and satisfying. It's a quick break you can give yourself to recharge, or you can play for longer, depending on your comfort and available time.
How to play
Playing Swipe City is easy. In this game, we swipe objects of the same type together, to make matches. A match of three objects makes them disappear. Once you match all objects, the puzzle is completed.
Let's take a look at how a normal level of Swipe City can be.
First, we start with the level Objectives. These are the matches you must make within the level to reach the end.
The level itself will look a bit like this. Right away, you'll see possible matches you can make, and others you won't be able to.
The leaf icon above seems to be matchable with the two below. So swipe it down, and you can match all three.
Next, the three books seem to be unimpeded. Why don't we try matching them?
And finally, with the obstacles out of the way, we can match the traffic cones. These will need two swipes.
And with this, the puzzle's complete! You'll receive a final score screen, where you'll be rated as to the time you've completed the puzzle in, and receive rewards, such as Coins.
There are also other obstacles you'll encounter later in the game, such as Arrows. These will automatically change the course of any tile you'll swipe on top of them.
As you play through the game, you'll notice a timer on top. Below the timer, and the player avatar, you'll see a bar of stars that goes down slowly. As it descends, the stars you can achieve by finishing the puzzle also go down. The faster you complete the puzzle, the more stars you can score.
Below the game, you'll also see the Tips icon. In exchange for Coins, this handy guide will show you how to complete the puzzle.
