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.

Follow the numbers, paint the tiles, and watch a picture come to life — a nonogram-style logic puzzle wrapped in storybook art. Unlock 48 pixel-art illustrations inspired by fairy tales from around the world and Japan: Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Momotaro, Princess Kaguya, and more. Each number shows how many "light" tiles are in the 3×3 block around that cell. That's the only rule — just logic, no trivia. • Drag with two fingers or the D-pad to move, press and hold to switch paint color, pinch to zoom • A small celebration on every unlock, plus a synopsis for each story in your gallery • Fully offline, auto-saved progress, adjustable BGM/SE volume • Automatically supports Japanese & English Solve one tile at a time, whenever you have a spare moment — how many of the 48 tales can you bring to light?
