12 Swap is a cute little match the smiley face puzzle game. It has two distinct modes of play. The first you just select, sit back, and match little smiley faces until the board runs out of selections. If you want to you can get genius with it and plan out how matched smiley faces will better your odds of getting points. Each round in this mode is dependant on how many points you get before you enter the next. As the rounds increase so do the amount of smiley choices. If you can manage to get more then 3 smileys in a row or have multiple matches as the board changes then you will be rewarded considerably more points.
