Swindler 2

Swindler 2 is a physics-based puzzle game where players control a green, gooey, masked character named Swindler. The game is a “drop and roll puzzle filled adventure” where Swindler, a “slyest slimeball” and “evergreen bandit,” dangles from a stretchy cord. The objective is to navigate through mazes filled with enemies and traps to reach a treasure chest in each of the 25 levels.

A round of Swindler 2 involves guiding the character through intricate levels. Initially, Swindler moves by dangling and rotating the world, wrapping his cord around corners and objects. New to this installment is the ability for Swindler to detach from his cord and roll freely. However, being unattached causes Swindler to slowly suffocate, indicated by a color change, and he must quickly reattach to a loop or collect fruit to regain air. Levels progress in difficulty, introducing new hazards and enemies, such as defensive yellow goo and offensive orange goo creatures, which can push Swindler or inflict damage.

The game features 25 levels, each requiring players to utilize Swindler’s unique abilities, including picking up and dropping objects like boulders or bombs to solve puzzles. Some levels require pressing buttons with the cord or using enemies to activate switches to open doors. Swindler 2 also introduced compatibility with Touchy, a mobile app that allows players to use their device as a controller, incorporating tilt controls for rotating the world. Collecting jelly stars and completing levels quickly or with the shortest route can earn players extra points.
