“For the map, we rewrote all of the controls. So it was six months after that, I revisited it because I had promised people that we would add gamepad control, and it took 3 months of iteration to get it right. When we first thought about it after release, I tried implementing gamepad controls, but I was quite tired of working on this game. Olli said, “It took quite a few months to get it right. However, even then, it’s something which has been worked on for an extensive amount of time, to get it feeling just right. It’s about as literal a translation of mouse controls as you can really get, with your character always looking towards that dot and lighting the way with his space suit’s headlights. Interestingly, and as a measure to preserve the ability to create a clone anywhere within sight, the right analogue stick controls a tiny dot on the screen, able to move it anywhere. I think that’s how the game should feel, where it’s the difference between sitting on a couch and sitting in front of a PC.” “It’s a different experience, compared to keyboard and mouse, where you have great precision, but this now gives you a slightly more relaxed experience, and personally, these days, I prefer playing with a gamepad. These were mostly for different reasons than making it nice to play with the gamepad, but after we started doing this, it turned out that it’s OK with the gamepad.

“When we were designing this we focussed on making it for keyboard and mouse, but we’ve now limited some puzzles, like got rid of the most reaction-based puzzles. “The first thing that I thought, when I was first thinking about making this game work with a gamepad, was that it was going to be quite terrible,” explained Olli. As I played, I was also chatting to half of the team at Facepalm Games, Olli Harjola, and asked him about this transition.

It’s a tricky mechanic that is at the heart of the puzzles within the game, but with the original release on PC last year being designed around keyboard and mouse, the system has taken some tweaking to bring to console. The Swapper itself also gives you the ability to switch control from one clone to another, again dependent on line of sight, but, your inputs will always control all of your clones at the same time, mirroring your movements exactly. It’s a hugely powerful device, allowing you to drop a clone up onto a ledge or somewhere else that you cannot ordinarily get to.

As soon as you pick it up, you are able to create four clones of yourself anywhere on the screen to which the character you are controlling has a line of sight. Within this world, you have to navigate and solve various puzzles centred around the key gameplay hook that is the eponymous Swapper.
