Swap-Swap Panda is a puzzle-platform game that was released on September 17, 2020 for iOS[1] and Android[2].
The game is based on Double Panda, a Neutronized browser game released in 2010.
Controls[edit]
Swap-Swap Panda is controlled using on-screen buttons at the bottom of the screen.
- Left and right arrow buttons - Move left and right
- Up arrow button - Jump
- Cycle button - Switch pandas
Levels[edit]
Like its predecessor, Swap-Swap Panda has twenty levels, including one boss level. To get the true ending, the player must collect all fifty-seven cupcakes.
Levels in Swap-Swap Panda are identical in structure to Double Panda, with the only difference being the placement of the pickups. All food that would be in a Double Panda level is replaced with three cupcakes acknowledged as "snacks". Collecting these snacks allows the player to refill their heart if they have taken damage.
Announcements[edit]
The game was first announced on August 20, 2020 via the Neutronized Twitter, where the game's title and premise were announced. A trailer was also included in the tweet, mentioning that the game was coming in September 2020. This video was also uploaded to the Neutronized YouTube channel.
A trailer would later be uploaded upon the game's release on September 17, 2020. It features an extended look at the introductory cutscene and a sped up version of the level music to different shots of particular levels.
Differences from Double Panda[edit]
Although Swap-Swap Panda retains the same levels and gameplay as Double Panda, some elements have been changed or adjusted from its predecessor:
- Swap-Swap Panda opens with a cutscene leading up to the titlescreen, similar to Neutronized's other mobile releases.
- There are two level music tracks in Swap-Swap Panda, one for day themed levels and one for night. Double Panda only has one level track for all twenty levels.
- In Double Panda, both the Giant Panda and the Red Panda had three hearts each. In Swap-Swap Panda, the player has only one heart shared between the two pandas and can only take one hit in a level without healing.
- All food pickups that were previously in Double Panda levels are replaced with three cupcakes that have the ability to heal the player if they have taken a single hit of damage. These cupcakes are also necessary to collect in order to unlock the final level. Food in Double Panda is solely present for increasing the player's score.
- Players can carry a sleeping panda on the other panda's head in Swap-Swap Panda. If the player tries to carry a sleeping panda in Double Panda, the panda will slide off the walking panda's head, with the exception of Giant Panda carrying the Red Panda across the water.
