    I just played two hours of this game with two friends and we had a total blast! This game is at the same time cute, funny and quite intense! It's very gratifying when you solve a puzzle! Also there is no hand holding to point out the solution which is great!

    One of the most creative and fun games I've ever played. Perfect to play with your significant other...super fun teamwork game!! I think for the $20 you spend getting this game, it's very very well worth the investment.

    Este tesoro escondido en la Eshop es una verdadera joya de Nintendo, "Snipperclips" es un juego cooperativo de ingenio, ideal para conocer los Joy Con.
    Se disfruta mayormente de a dos, pero puede jugarse en forma individual. Las mecánicas son simples pero los puzzles van de fáciles a difíciles.
    "Snipperclips" es ideal para compartir con amigos, es divertido y desafiante.

    Actually though, it's an adorable little game that's a blast to play with friends. The puzzles are creative, and it also has a blitz mode that's a bit of fun to play. I'll be bringing this game to my friend's place every time I go.

    Great little multi-player game. My only complaint is the somewhat uneven difficulty - my 7-year-old and I would trounce a number of levels and then spend 15 minutes on one. Other than that, it's a solid digital-only game.

    I play this hidden gem with my GF and we are having a total blast. It's the perfect format to introduce both the Switch and gaming in general to no gamer people. Just so much fun to solve these creative puzzles together. Love it! There is a free demo with 4 levels or so on the eshop btw.

    Why doesnt the admin monitor the user scores because its clear people are down scoring because of some childish hate towards a product.
    This renders the user scores meaningless.
    This game is about an 8 out if ten but i feel i have to score it up because of the children on here.
    The game is a very good co op experience full of giggles so me and my wife had a great time with it.

    It's different from anything else we've played and the freedom to solve the puzzle anyway you want is awesome! It's fun watching my kids solve puzzles completely different from what my wife and I did.

    Awesome party game. Its a shame that it gets a bit difficult quite early on because less experienced players dont want to play then but hell it would be boring if it werent challenging. I love the idea behind this one, highly recommend for everybody to check this one out.

    Publishing a 'Nindie' itself on the eShop, this stacks up well and achieves its goals - for those looking to share Switch with friends and family members of all gaming stripes, Snipperclips is an excellent option. Mode solo, it does work and is an entirely different process. You can swap between the two characters easily and the one you drop, importantly, holds their position. Buy it!

    This is the premiere party game for the Switch for sure. At only 20 dollars the game is all the way worth it. The best mode is for sure playing with just 2 players but the modes that require 3-4 players are also pretty fun. Overall Snipperclips is fun and a good challenge.

    Completion: Finished 2-player mode. Finished ~50% of 4-player mode. Spent ~1 hour with competitive multiplayer.

Finished ~50% of 4-player mode. Spent ~1 hour with competitive multiplayer.

    Pros:
    - Fun, cute artstyle that fits the game
    - Unique puzzle solving where every world contains many new ideas
    - Sound effects are adorable and add greatly to the tone of the game

    Cons:
    - A bit low on content, even for a $20 game.
    - Last world is disappointing and perhaps the least interesting out of the three.
    - Music variety is far too limited
    - Some of the mechanical aspects can be frustrating
    - Many of the 4 player stages can be boring due to several players literally not having anything to do

    While Snipperclips is short, what is there is excellent. Creative and open-ended puzzle solving is spread throughout the game with very few repeated ideas in the main campaign. In all, Snipperclipps is a wonderful, albeit short, game that charms and captures the imagination.

    Snipperclips is an interesting game about a character named Snip and one called Clip. You chop each other up to do puzzles like put a ball in a hoop, make an object and get an egg from one spot to another. I like it a lot as it has 1 player option and 2 player with 3 & 4 player action as well. You will need teamwork.

    This is a rather enjoyable game that can really highlight the ability of handing off a controller and playing co-op. This game may not have the best single player experience but it's multi-player is truly fun!

    The most clever co-op game on the Switch! Like New Super Mario Bros, this is one of those games that leads to fun and frustrating moments with friends. My brother and I have nearly finished the 2 player mode and can't wait to get another pair of Joy-Cons to try 4-player with friends. The competitive mode is also pretty cool, but isn't really a selling point. Only gripe is- needs more levels!

    A must-own game for all Switch owners. Scoring this as a 9/10 due to the difficulty of most of the 4 player puzzles, but all in all this is a fantastic party game! The concept for this game is unique and the price tag is fair. It's tough to put into words how truly satisfying it is when you complete a puzzle that you spent 10+ minutes trying to solve.

    Snipperclips is the perfect family game.
