Shapes fall. Shift them into the matching color before they shatter. Faster and faster. Shift and Shatter is a quick-paced color matching arcade game with six modes, each in a different retro arcade style. Drag each shape into the goal of the same color, keep up as the pace climbs, and beat your high score. Some modes add bombs, moving walls, corner goals or several shapes at once, so every mode asks something different of your reflexes. Short rounds, instant restarts, no connection required.
