Ez to learn & slightly addicting

Reminds me of the Tetris days of the 90s. Incredibly satisfying to earn the “clear board” option. Fun game.

Unfortunate

This game made me break my phone in utter anger. 😔

Addictive!

I am really enjoying this game. The only thing I would change is that I wish there was a sound when you flipped the numbers. Sometimes I do it on accident when I’m moving the tiles and don’t realize until it’s too late. A sound effect would help. Great job!

I have no words

I know I said I have no words, but I have many. I was having a rough time... I lost my job at the factory, my wife left me, and I was diagnosed with dehydration. It was a dart time, but then I found this app. Can I just say, this is a life saver. I was living on a diet of cheese and chocolate chips, but once I bought this app, I immediately was give $100,000,000 by a strange man on the street and he said, “Todd, this is your second chance! Sponsored by Shift Stax™️.” I cried, but this time, it was out of joy. My wife came back, and I got to see my children again. As for the factory, it burned down and good riddance. In summary, if it wasn’t for this app, I would not be the man I am today, and I live by that 🥺.

Mobile Game Of The Year 2019

I’ll be honest, going into this game I was skeptical. A game with only a handful of reviews developed by high schoolers? Upon opening the game my skepticism was not erased, as the title screen seemed amateur at best. Quickly though, my doubts were erased as the sleek and fun gameplay pulled me in. I won’t give any spoilers, but the story was incredible to say the least. The themes of loss, love, and courage were displayed perfectly, which was a surprise considering how simple the game is. Perhaps what shocked me the most was how other people interpreted the game. I asked a coworker what genre he believed it to be, and he thought it was an action game. Another, a first person shooter. The third, a puzzle game. Before playing this game, my view of the world was narrow to say the least, but after experiencing the perspectives of others, I can say that ShiftyStax has changed me forever.
