Hi friends, this game dev is going through a desperate situation, so if anyone has a spare $5 to purchase a 4 games game bundle, please consider supporting him. 🫶 Alternatively, reposting their post to help if you can’t financially support would be amazing too, to help get the word out further. 🔁

okay, but how beautiful is our flippin game?!?! ;-; please wishlist spirit swap we launch on Feb 3rd, 2025: store.steampowered.com/app/1592170/ #screenshotSaturday #spiritswap #indiegame

A screenshot from the upcoming game, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To.

The background is of a hill on a sunny, blue-sky kinda day with some leafy trees and deer in the background. Two characters are in the foreground: Samar (wearing a giant purple witch's hat, gradient green hair, headphones, a yellow crop top, and brightly colored coveralls hanging down) and Kanon (a angel with flowers in their wings and a all-white outfit with gold accents and jewelry).

Samar says, "Okay, here we go! I love that, kinda like Taco Tuesday!"

A screenshot from the upcoming game, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To.

The background is of a purple PC cafe with neon signs, desktop computers, and many plants and books on shelves.

Samar and Kedsi are in a Versus match showing off the panel de pon style gameplay.

A screenshot from the upcoming game, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To.

The background is of a beach at golden hour, the skies pink and orange. There are palm trees as well as a workout area and vending machine. Samar (giant purple witch's hat, gradient green hair, headphones, yellow crop top, and colorful overalls hanging without the overall part up) and Iskandar (three turquoise horns, purple/pink short hair, white very skimpy crop with delicate chains, very short shorts, and a water bottle) are in the scene.

Iskandar says, "My crop tops are full to bursting, but I still feel so...Empty"

A screenshot from the upcoming game, Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To.

The background is of a forest clearing in the early evening. There are some fireflies among the trees and a fairy circle (ring of mushrooms) in the grass.

This is during Endless mode, so there's just one player on the screen (Samar) along with Froggo on the right of the board.
