Relax with shift, an easy to play puzzle game. Make your way through the beginner, normal, clever, smart, and genius level brackets! Easy to learn but hard to beat, it's a straightforward puzzle game that can become deceptively tricky as the game goes on. HOW TO PLAY The goal of the game is to move the dots around the board to get them onto their own color. But there's a catch... the dots can only move along the connecting lines on the board. Early levels only have two colors, but later levels have 5 different colors! See if you can make it through all the genius levels.
