As befits a game about cloning yourself, The Swapper is multiplying onto PlayStation 4, PS3, and Vita. Facepalm Games' sci-fi puzzle-platformer is fizzing away in Sony test tubes at Curve Studios, the folks behind PlayStation ports of PC games from Proteus to Thomas Was Alone.

The Swapper is set on a bleak space station in the far reaches of space, where something terrible has happened. Handily you're holding a nifty tool which lets you clone your character and swap between clones to solve puzzles and progress. It's got a lovely handcrafted look, as the game's assets were originally built out of clay and household odds and ends.

Curve expects to launch the PlayStation ports in mid-May. Most pleasantly, they'll support Cross-Buy and Cross-Save. Here's a trailer from the PC version:

        How are the console controls? I haven't tried it out yet, but the PC version was updated with gamepad support a few months ago. When the game was new, it felt like the most PC-ass PC game I had played in a while. Not sure how well it could be adapted from the flawless mouse and keyboard controls, some puzzles have to be trickier to manage, no?

        Also, for anyone out of the loop, this outstanding game is still available in the 11th humble bundle for a few more days along with a bunch of other great fucking games: https://www.humblebundle.com/

          I'm playing it right now on a gamepad and the controls are fine, no issues or problems with puzzles whatsoever.

          I beat it with a 360 controller a couple days ago. It's a little clunky but mostly fine.

          It'd play fine with gamepad as long as you realise that time slows while you're aiming a swap. I was about 2/3rds through the game before I figured that out.

      What if we already have the game? Do we get a code so we don't have to pay again?
