Gameplay mechanics and combat | Game basics Hiveswap Guide

HIVESWAP ACT 1 is a point-and-click adventure game, hence you only move by clicking the destination. If you want to move somewhere, or interact with something, you need to click the place/object. Likewise, if you want to combine a few items, you have to click on them in the right order.

This game features a few protagonists. You can switch between them at ant point in the game. You just have to click that big circle in the top-right corner (highlighted above) to do that. You can also contact another hero by clicking the walkie-talkie icon right next to the character selection.

Combat

An inherent part of this game's combat system is... fleeting the monsters. Most fights can be completed only in a certain, pre-determined way - each of them is described in the corresponding chapter.

The "weapons" are listed roughly at the center of the top of the screen (highlighted above in green). In this case, you can click the shoe to kick, the ballerinas to flee, and the flashlight to draw the attention of the enemies. The items on the left can also sometimes be used in combat. Each of these can be thrown at the enemy.
