Darkwaar publishes small experimental games and puzzles, built and released regularly. Swipe is a swipe puzzle: slide across the grid, avoid walls, and reach the goal within a limited number of moves.

Gameplay

Each level is a grid with floors, walls, and a goal tile. You control a player token that moves one cell at a time. Plan your route carefully — every level has a move limit. Complete the level under the limit to unlock the next one.

Controls

  • Swipe on touch devices (up, down, left, right)
  • Arrow keys or WASD on keyboard
  • Undo — step back one move
  • Reset — restart the current level
  • Next — advance after completing a level

Final Game

The game is playable in the browser on itch.io: https://darkwoodcom.itch.io/darkwaar1

Development Notes

Swipe was built as a minimal swipe-puzzle prototype to validate the daily game workflow: Godot HTML5 export, itch.io browser upload, and blog publication on darkwaar.com. The game uses a simple TileMap, swipe detection, and a small level library with no external services.
