## What is Rule Shift?

Follow the rule. Survive the shift.

Rule Shift is a fast-paced reflex game that challenges you to read, react, and adapt. Every round gives you a clear instruction: tap the right targets, avoid the wrong ones, and stay ready because the rule can change when you least expect it.

New rules are presented before play begins, giving you time to understand the challenge. When you are ready, tap BEGIN and put your reactions to the test.

MASTER 200 LEVELS
Start with the 50-level Classic campaign, then unlock 150 themed levels across Numbers, Letters, Directions, Symbols, Icons, and Mixed Shift. Each campaign introduces new objects, rule combinations, timing patterns, and modifiers. Replay completed levels to improve your score and earn better medals.

CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE
- Levels: Progress through deterministic, replayable challenges with medals and personal bests.
- Endless: Keep adapting as the speed, density, and rule complexity increase.
- Daily Shift: Take on a new seeded challenge each day and chase your daily best.
- Chaos: Mix every content type into an unpredictable endless test.
- Practice: Choose a rule and sharpen your skills without affecting high scores.
- Tutorial: Learn the fundamentals through guided play.

THINK FAST, BUT READ FIRST
Rules may change during a level, combine into multi-part instructions, or be affected by Memory, Freeze, and Reverse modifiers. Each shift gives you a dedicated reading window before you decide when to begin.

BUILD YOUR SCORE
Tap early for reaction bonuses, maintain combos for larger multipliers, and survive rule shifts for bonus points. Earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals by balancing accuracy with speed.

UNLOCK POWER-UPS
Complete levels, earn medals, build combos, and reach new milestones to unlock helpful abilities. Highlight valid targets, slow the action, preview the next rule, protect a combo, clear distractors, and more. Equip one power-up before finite levels and use it when it matters most.

YOUR PROGRESS, YOUR WAY
- Replay any completed level
- Track best scores, medals, combos, and detailed statistics
- Sync campaign progress privately through iCloud
- Compete on Game Center leaderboards
- Customize the experience with unlockable themes, sound controls, haptics, and Reduce Motion support

Rule Shift is easy to understand, quick to play, and increasingly difficult to master. Read the rule, trust your reflexes, and survive the shift.
