Snipperclips

Snipperclips is a co-operative puzzle game for up to four players. In the main World mode for one or two players, players control two characters named Snip and Clip, who each possess shaped bodies that can be rotated in place. When the two characters overlap each other, one player can snip the overlapped portion out of the other player, altering the shape of their body. Using this mechanic, players must come up with creative ways to solve various puzzles, each with unique objectives, such as fitting inside a shape template, carrying objects, or cutting out a pointed end in order to pop balloons.

Additionally, up to four players can play the game's Party and Blitz modes. Party mode features unique puzzles designed for extra players, while Blitz mode features various competitive games, such as basketball, hockey, and snipping deathmatches.

Snipperclips was originally made as a prototype on Adobe Flash in 2015 by SFB Games, namely brothers Adam and Tom Vian, and was originally titled Friendshapes; it was created for a game jam, a video game development competition where they needed to create a game in eight hours. Much like the final version, it had a school art supply theme. When the game was released, the creators believed the game could be much bigger and reached out to Nintendo for funding. They agreed Nintendo would be the best choice for publishing as they knew Nintendo was known for family content and multiplayer.

SFB Games describe the development process as cooperative, with both SFB Games and Nintendo working together to conceptualize game design, levels, and art. Although the game was planned to be released for the Wii U, the Nintendo Switch was starting to be rumored and nearing announcement. While they decided what console to release the game on, SFB Games created a version of the game on PC. The team was invited by Nintendo to a conference in 2016 where they revealed the Switch to the developers, showing off info about its features and the Joy-Con controllers.

Snipperclips received generally favorable reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. IGN gave the game 8/10, praising the game's multiplayer experience and presentation. The Guardian described it as "addictive". Polygon stated that Snipperclips was "a tricky, tricky game of logic and cunning".

The website later ranked it 48th on their list of the 50 best games of 2017. During their financial briefing in April 2017, Nintendo reported that over 350,000 digital copies of the game had been downloaded.
