12 Swap

You control a cursor, clicking on adjacent tiles to swap their positions. The moment-to-moment play is about scanning the board for potential matches. Your main objective is to create rows or columns of three or more identical smiley faces, which then vanish and allow new pieces to fall into place. The mechanics involve planning these swaps to trigger chain reactions, as multiple matches from a single move yield higher scores. The game starts gently but the pace quickens as the board fills; it requires a bit of foresight to avoid dead ends. It feels like a quiet, focused exercise in pattern recognition.
