Swapmeat

Swapmeat is a run-based action game in which you play Squishy, a shape-shifting operative of Rangus Corp. Fight alien enemies by stealing their heads, torsos and legs, each of which has a unique power. Swapping body parts changes your abilities and strategy, giving you thousands of possible combinations and helping you adapt to different enemies.

Swap parts in combat

Equip parts on the fly and turn enemy abilities against them. For example, Squat Daddy legs let you jump and butt-slam enemies, while an Octo Swirl head shoots in all directions. You work with the parts and weapons that drop as waves of enemies attack, dodging, shooting and swapping while racing to complete objectives.

Play solo or in co-op

You can play alone or with up to three friends. Difficulty scales dynamically: it increases when players join and decreases when they leave.

Take on changing missions

Missions bring new enemies, random events and unexpected combinations of parts, so runs vary. You explore randomly selected alien planets, including an urban speedway filled with hungry mutant speedsters and a planetary cookout overrun by hostile aliens. Their vivid landscapes feature ruins of galactic capitalism, ancient technology and 90s references. The game has four difficulty levels, from Casual to Nightmare.

Improve between runs

Bring research back to HQ and exchange it for weapon unlocks, new perks and company-approved improvements. These upgrades make you more powerful between runs.
