How Snipperclips went from indie game to Nintendo Switch launch title

A surreal journey for an adorable game

In the summer of 2015, brothers Adam and Tom Vian spent eight hours building a prototype game about two cute pieces of paper who could snip each other into different shapes in order to solve puzzles. They called it Friendshapes.
