## What is Pawshift?

In a quiet floating world of moss, moonstone and lantern light, a small dog made of light is waiting to get home. You don't steer the dog – you move the world.

Swipe down and everything shifts. Tap a stone and it stays put while the world slides past it. From these two moves come bridges, ferries and stairways – and soon puzzles where every move counts.

• 68 puzzles in six worlds: Glimmerwood, Moon Ruins, Lantern Quarter, Mistmere, Crystal Hollow and Starwatch
• 12 bonus puzzles that open with the stars you earn
• A new daily puzzle every day – keep your streak alive
• A little dog village that grows with every dog you bring home
• Collars, charms and glow colors to collect – earned by playing or with sparks
• Short story moments between the chapters
• Rune stones, glow seeds, seals, light bridges and shaped stones that change the world for good
• Up to three stars per puzzle – for finding the shortest path
• Several dogs, each looking for its own home
• Every chapter you finish is celebrated – and opens the door to the next world
• Undo and restart any time – unlimited and free
• Three levels of hints, from a gentle nudge to a full walkthrough
• No timers, no energy, no lives
• Plays offline – with automatic backup to your iCloud
• English and German, for phones and tablets

Pawshift is free. Ads only appear between puzzles and never in the first chapter, and a one-time purchase removes them for good. You earn sparks for glow colors and collars by playing; you can also buy them if you like.
