A puzzle game in which we play the role of a swimmer trying to get from one end of the pool to the other. Completion of the task is complicated by the fact that our client cannot cross the road for the rest of the people taking the bath. More than a hundred levels await completion in Swim Out, and the game resembles a chess game - the title forces us to plan our next moves in advance.
Swim Out is a logic game developed by the independent studio Lozange Lab.
In Swim Out, the player takes control of a swimmer, whose task is to swim from one end of the pool to the other and reach the ladder, i.e. the exit. During the game we observe the action from top-down perspective, which facilitates orientation in the pool, while the subsequent moves are made in turn-based mode, moving around the square fields. The difficulty is that our character is never alone in the pool, and the goal must be achieved without with other people in the water. For this reason, the struggle resembles a chess game - the title forces the player to plan their next moves in advance. More than a hundred levels of complex puzzles of increasing difficulty await completion in the game.
At individual stages we can meet both twelve types of swimmers, which were differentiated in of behavior (amateurs, professionals and children), and aquatic animals (such as frogs, seals or crabs), as well as objects and elements of the environment such as balls and lifebuoys. The presence of the latter can be used for one's own benefit - for example, an accurate shot from a water gun stuns and stops other swimmers, enabling us to them without fear that they will suddenly begin to swim in our direction.
Two-dimensional visuals of Swim Out present a decent level of execution, mainly due to their rich color palette that creates an idyllic atmosphere. The game is complemented by a pleasant ambient soundtrack.
