In Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To, players will take on the role of Samar a witch who works the spirit-swapping night shift. Players will need to stop the city from being overrun by the sudden surge of spirits. 

There are three modes players can test their match-3 skills in: story, endless, and versus mode. Story mode will have players help Samar and Samar’s friends prevent the city from being overrun by spirits.

Players will unlock additional spells and trinkets to use in swaps. These spells range from clearing the top rows of spirits or garbage, applying random effects to your opponent’s board, or removing one row and column. There are three categories of spells based on pattern placements, and players are limited to only having three spells equipped.

In endless mode, players can sit back relax, and match spirits while listening to music for as long as they want. This mode is a great alternative for players who may want to take a break from the story elements and just enjoy beats and match-3. Endless mode is also a great way for players to experiment with different combinations of spells without having to unlock them in story mode.
