4/5 stars

“Snipperclips is an enjoyable little puzzle game that brings friends and families together. The primary mechanic – cutting each other into useful shapes – is instantly intuitive. Whether you’re playing in a duo, or in a group of four, Snipperclips will delight… until you run out of puzzles.”

8/10

“Snipperclips – Cut It Out, Together! is an impressive showing both as far as first-round Nintendo Switch games go and puzzle titles in general. It’s a bargain for the amount of time you’ll get out of it, and it’s rife with color, intrigue, challenging puzzles, and adorable graphics. The only real problems arise from the fact that it’s meant to be played with others, so if that’s not your bag you won’t get as much out of it. For everyone else, however, this is a system-seller, especially since you can enjoy it on the go. You’ll want to cut in on a Snipperclips session, that’s for sure.”

Atomix	Claudio Quiroz	72 / 100	03-14-2017	While the game is super fun solving the puzzles with a partner based on the communication and coordination, after complete all levels there’s no reason to come back and play again.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	Kyle Hanson	4.5 / 5 stars	03-07-2017	Nintendo Switch’s second best launch game, Snipperclips is the perfect game if you’re wanting to push your new console’s multiplayer features. Fun puzzles combine with a gleefully cute aesthetic to make for a worth addition to any new owner’s Switch library.	Read review
Cerealkillerz	Gabriel Bogdan	8.7 / 10	03-05-2017	Snipperclips is besides Breath of the Wild the first must-buy title for the Nintendo Switch. For less than ‎$20 you get countless hours of innovative puzzle fun with up to 4 players.	Read review
CGMagazine	Jed Whitaker	9.5 / 10	03-08-2017	Snipperclips is a must play new IP from Nintendo that will have you cutting not only your friends and family but up in joyous laughter.	Read review
COGconnected	Michael Chow	79 / 100	03-09-2017	Snipperclips is a fun, charming title that players will enjoy, and is a great start to the “Nindie” movement that Nintendo is embracing for the Switch.	Read review
Cubed3	Adam Riley	8 / 10	03-08-2017	What a hidden gem! Snipperclips: Cut it Out, Together is a definite must-buy on Nintendo Switch, showing off not just a fantastic idea with great puzzles, but driving home the team-work element that works so well on Switch thanks to its ‘play anywhere, anytime’ ethos. Sit with a friend, get family members involved, or even go it alone, play it in tabletop mode, portable, or even on the big screen	Read review
Destructoid	Jordan Devore	9 / 10	03-07-2017	Snipperclips is a terrifically charming package. It’s one of those rare games I can flat-out recommend to everyone because odds are you’ll have a blast with it, and so will anyone you share it with. If you’re a Nintendo Switch owner, this deserves to be your next game after Zelda.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Steve Schardein	8 / 10	02-23-2017	Snipperclips is one of the better launch titles for the Nintendo Switch.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Harvard L	4 / 5 stars	03-21-2017	Ultimately, SnipperClips is an experience to be shared.	Read review
EGM	Emma Schaefer	7.5 / 10	03-10-2017	Snipping your construction paper friends into different shapes is a clever idea, and one that will test the limits of your real-life friendships. Cute squishy faces and grade school-esque design add to Snipperclips’ charms, though they’re slightly offset by some shallow additional game modes and wonky multiplayer.	Read review
Eurogamer	Matt Wales	Recommended	03-08-2017	This colourful co-op puzzler is an ingenious treat that’s sadly a little on the small side.	Read review
FNintendo	Pedro Meleiro	8 / 10	03-21-2017	If dynamic interaction is what makes two-player collaborative games fun and addictive, Snipperclips certainly excels at that. Through cutting, moving and rotating parts, this experience stands out as original, fun and creative, reaching its peak when played by two players, while its solo mode, as well as 3 and 4-player experience, will feel less authentic when compared to its 2-player challenges, which will bring forth many hours of fun and witty puzzles to any pair of players.

Game Informer	Brian Shea	8.3 / 10	03-10-2017	The myriad puzzles are satisfying to solve, even if bringing friends can create chaotic situations	Read review
Game Rant	Riley Little	4 / 5 stars	03-14-2017	This cutesy game creates some wonderful multiplayer scenarios through a number of unique puzzles and tasks, but could Snipperclips really be the Nintendo Switch’s sleeper hit?	Read review
Game Revolution	Aron Garst	4 / 5 stars	03-07-2017	As of right now, Snipperclips is the second best game on the Nintendo Switch, more than deserving of a small investment of time and money. If you enjoy anything about Nintendo’s newest piece of hardware, you will definitely get a couple of great hours out of this game. Just be sure to bring a friend along for the fun.	Read review
Gameblog	Carole Quintaine	7 / 10	03-14-2017	Snipperclips is an enjoyable puzzle game, even more when you play it with some friends.	Read review
GameCrate	Paul Hunter	8.3 / 10	03-20-2017	If you’re looking for a good multiplayer game on your brand new Nintendo Switch, Snipperclips is a must. In addition to being accessible, it will test your ability to solve puzzles and work as a team. Expect a lot of laughter and hours of fun in this puzzle game offering great value for your money.

GameSkinny	Autumn Fish	7 / 10	03-10-2017	The Switches unique co-op puzzle game, Snipperclips, is overflowing with charm but struggles to hold up over extended play.	Read review
GameSpot	Randolph Ramsay	7 / 10	03-10-2017	Snipperclips is an engaging puzzler that’s fun to play in groups, even if there’s no long-lasting appeal.	Read review

GamingTrend	Sean Anthony	85 / 100	03-12-2017	Snipperclips offers hours of head-scratching puzzle fun with you and a friend. The price point is fair for the number of levels and modes it offers to encourage you to come back to work with your friends in party mode or take them on in Blitz mode. The difficulty curve is steep and some of the puzzles are too cryptic, but with determination and proper communication, you can tackle any problem. Make sure you bring a friend!	Read review
God is a Geek	Nick Gillham	8 / 10	03-22-2017	Getting people playing together wherever the Switch is, is the machine’s USP and Snipperclips is the game that realizes that vision most effectively.	Read review
Guardian	Jordan Erica Webber	4 / 5 stars	03-15-2017	Some ideas are so perfect you can’t believe that no one has thought of them before. Snip and Clip are a prime example	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Kirstin Swalley	4 / 5 stars	03-21-2017	Snipperclips gives players an overall enjoyable experience that allows them to sit down and relax while playing alone or with some friends.	Read review
IGN	Jonathon Dornbush	8 / 10	03-07-2017	With a clever idea for 2D physics-based puzzle solving and a bright and colorful personality, Snipperclips: Cut it Out, Together! is a good experience by yourself and a great one with friends. Solving every puzzle won’t take too long, but Snipperclips is continuously clever in its puzzle design and adorably fun to watch play. It left me eagerly waiting to reunite more frogs, put together more cat puzzles, and solve whatever other odd challenges developer SFB Games might have in mind.	Read review
IGN Italy	Marco Mottura	7.8 / 10	03-07-2017	A fun and clever multiplayer experience that would have been perfect if bundled with the console itself. It might lack that special spark of genius that could have turned Snipperclips into a cult classic, but it’s still a fascinating and appealing way to show off your brand new Switch to anyone (gamer or not).	Read review
IGN Spain	Miguel Ángel Escudero	8 / 10	11-13-2017	Fun and original game perfect for those who want to play with a friend, while it’s not that great for lonely players.	Read review
Impulsegamer	James Wright (Impulsegamer)	4 / 5 stars	03-20-2017	The gaming spirit behind Snipperclips: Cut It Out, Together! is the engagement factor behind its simplistic yet clever gaming mechanics that draws you into this crazy little world. It’s also a game that can be played with up to four people, however the perfect number is two as you both work together (and sometimes against each other) in order to achieve the desired outcomes.	Read review
LevelUp	Luis Sánchez	8 / 10	03-13-2017	Cleverly designed and extremely fun: Snipperclips is a unique puzzle game and a complete surprise for the Nintendo Switch. Best played with friends.	Read review
Luis Alamilla	Luis Alamilla	9 / 10	03-05-2017	Video Review	Read review
Marooners’ Rock	Adam Bankhurst	8.4 / 10	04-18-2017	Snipperclips is a fantastic launch title that, more than anything, proves the portability concept of the Nintendo Switch. Having Snipperclips wherever I go led to some great times and memories I won’t soon forget.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	8 / 10	03-06-2017	A highly imaginative puzzle game made all the more entertaining by its argument-inducing co-op options.	Read review
Niche Gamer	Michael Jordan	8 / 10	03-29-2017	Snipperclips is an amazingly well done game oozing with charm and cuteness that will leave you with a smile on your face, asking for more.	Read review
Nintendo Life	Thomas Whitehead	8 / 10	03-06-2017	As an opening salvo from Nintendo in publishing a ‘Nindie’ itself on the eShop, this stacks up well and achieves its goals	Read review
NintendoWorldReport	Neal Ronaghan	9 / 10	03-08-2017	No matter how you cut it, Snipperclips is a gem of the Switch eShop, presenting a fresh puzzle experience that is daring and delightfully peculiar. If we’re all lucky, Snipperclips will take off and become the next Pushmo or BoxBoy from Nintendo, showing up every year or so with new puzzles and wrinkles. If you’re looking for a game to compliment Breath of the Wild, this is a grand one.	Read review
NZGamer	Reagan Morris	8 / 10	04-05-2017	Worthy of your time and money, if you have someone to share it with.	Read review
Post Arcade (National Post)	Chad Sapieha	8 / 10	03-07-2017	Forget 1-2 Switch; this inexpensive indie is the game you need to put Nintendo’s tabletop mode–and your friendships–to the test	Read review
Reno Gazette-Journal	Jason Hidalgo	8 / 10	03-21-2017	Snipperclips is arguably the best surprise of the Nintendo Switch launch, providing a fun and charming puzzle experience while also bringing back the joys of couch co-op and competition. It’s not as fun when played solo and doesn’t give you much reason to replay finished stages. Get two to four players in the same room, however, and get ready to make some noise and imbibe in hilarious hijinks.	Read review
Saudi Gamer	مشهور الدبيان	4 / 5 stars	03-12-2017	Snipperclips is a great launch game for the Switch: It’s fun, innovative and makes full use of the Switch’s portable design. Definitely a must-buy.	Read review
SelectButton	Kevin Mitchell	7 / 10	03-16-2017	Snipperclips is certainly a surprise, something that you don’t see at the launch of a new platform all that often. While featuring both a single-player and local multiplayer experience, Snipperclips is at its best when played with others. The lack of Pro Controller support is regrettable, but sharing Joy-Cons with a family member or friend and working together to solve a puzzle is quite enjoyable. With that said, there isn’t too many reasons to play through the game multiple times, and Snipperclips is a digital-only experience. If the game added daily or weekly challenges, there would be a reason to return to the game once you figured out the solutions to the included puzzles.	Read review
Shacknews	Brittany Vincent	8 / 10	03-07-2017	Snipperclips	Read review
SpazioGames	Stefania Sperandio	8 / 10	04-08-2017	Snipperclips is probably the funniest experience you can get at Nintendo Switch’s debut. Smart and fun in single-player, hilarious and crazy with friends, this puzzle game has everything you need to play and laugh with a Joy-Con in your hands.	Read review
Stevivor	Steve Wright	9 / 10	03-10-2017	Snipperclips requires thought, co-ordination and timing in a combination that means friendships will be tested.	Read review
TechnoBuffalo	Joey Davidson	4 / 5 stars	03-14-2017	As far as I’m concerned, the two best original games for the Nintendo Switch are The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Snipperclips. The latter isn’t as spectacular as the former, but it’s still a great game.	Read review
TechRaptor	Christian Mincks	8.5 / 10	03-19-2017	Snipperclips provides seemingly endless fun due to its design ingenuity and replayability. It’s a cute and charming “fun for the whole family” game that actually is fun for the whole family.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Dave Irwin	7 / 10	03-07-2017	If you’re looking to move beyond the most obvious of the Nintendo Switch’s launch line-up, you could do far worse than to invest in the Joy-Con and Snipperclips bundle. It captures the essence of the likes of Overcooked!, but with a clear emphasis on using shapes to solve the physics puzzles. Yes, there is a limited amount of content and that hampers the appeal somewhat, but it’s a great icebreaker at house parties.	Read review
USgamer	Mike Williams	4 / 5 stars	03-16-2017	Snipperclips is an enjoyable little puzzle game that brings friends and families together. The primary mechanic	Read review
VGChartz	Evan Norris	Recommended	03-23-2017	Snipping, clipping, improvising, and collaborating one’s way through the colorful world of Snipperclips is truly a joyful experience. Just be sure to bring a friend or two along for the ride.	Read review
VGN	Pietro Quattrone	7.5 / 10	03-08-2017	Snipperclips is the perfect demonstration of Nintendo Switch’s capabilities when it comes to local multiplayer: SFB Games’ new puzzle game offers many fun stages to be played with your friends or when you want to have a break between a dungeon and a boss fight in Zelda: Breath of the Wild.	Read review
Video Chums	A.J. Maciejewski	6.3 / 10	03-11-2017	Snipperclips may be a charming little cooperative puzzler but its lack of content and tendency to be more annoying than fun makes it a difficult game to widely recommend.	Read review
We Got This Covered	Tyler Treese	4 / 5 stars	03-08-2017	One of the early Nintendo Switch gems, Snipperclips shows that the hybrid gaming system has a bright future for indie titles.	Read review

Game Description / Storyline:

Hey, cut it out! No, really! In this action-puzzle game, paper pals Snip and Clip must cut each other up to overcome tricky obstacles…or just to laugh their heads off (sometimes literally). Partner up with friends or family to cut the heroes into the right shapes, interact with objects, and solve a world of imaginative puzzles. Someone grab a paper weight—these puzzles just won’t stay still! The only limitation to solve puzzles is your imagination. Snip may need to cut Clip into a needle to pop balloons, or maybe they’ll have to team up to form a squawking, egg-laying bird!
