Swindler

Swindler is a skill and treasure-hunting action-platformer game featuring a humorous tone and retro pixel-art graphics. The game centers around a small, masked green creature with elastic properties, which players control as it navigates various levels. The creature is suspended by an elastic cord, which is part of its own body.

The main objective in Swindler is to guide the green creature to the treasure chest in each level. Players achieve this by rotating the entire map, using gravity to swing the creature through passages and around obstacles. The creature can also lengthen or shorten its cord. As players advance through the game’s 25 levels, new enemies and traps are introduced, such as floating and jumping slimes, and orange spiky blocks that cause instant failure upon contact. The game’s difficulty increases as players progress, requiring precise movements and strategic planning.

The game does not feature explicit modes, upgrades, or power-ups, but players will encounter interactive objects like bombs and boulders that can be picked up and used to clear paths. There are no multiplayer options; Swindler is a single-player experience. The game is known for its challenging puzzles and its emphasis on planning and patience to successfully navigate the levels.
