SHIFT: A Game Made to Be Broken

SHIFT is a puzzle platformer built around one core idea: exploiting the rules.

Every level gives you the opportunity to solve it like a normal puzzle platformer OR find another way. Whether it's exploiting vertical momentum or strategically restarting the level, SHIFT is a game that was meant to be broken.

SHIFT contains 10 levels where the player controls platforms by pressing corresponding buttons. By shifting platforms around, you can create a way across the canyon! Players learn the rules of many types of platforms. Red platforms go back and forth 5 times. Blue platforms go from one side to the other. Yellow platforms go back and forth after a delay. And glitch pads are unpredictable but normally lead to being launched high into the air. You have to know the rules to break the rules. Now find your own path!
