“The Hyperspatial Directive Node has been upgraded to a subdermal implant. All of its original functionality remains in place, quite literally at your fingertips. Please report any itching, spontaneous combustion or redness to your supervisor immediately.” A sequel to 2022's award nominated puzzle game for the Playdate, Shift II takes the familiar and adds all new mechanics, strategy and ways to play, and now on your phone! And sort of in color! Featuring three game play modes, The Calm tasks you with managing your energy supply, The Tactical only cares about your ability to maintain a streak, while The Frantic pits you against a thirty second countdown timer and was specifically designed for those of you who were disappointed that the original game wasn't stressful enough. Keeping up your streak count, upgrading and downgrading tiles and making the most efficient moves as possible are all critical to your high score chances. No ads and no in-app purchases. It won't even harass you to rate it (Though it would be nice if you did)! Just a super fun, meditative puzzle game. Well, except for The Frantic, that's not really very meditative. Features: - Three game play modes; The Calm, The Frantic & The Tactical - Online leader boards for all three modes. - Four color themes to choose from. - The same music and sound effects you loved in the Playdate version. - Again: No in app purchases, no ads, no tracking. -- "This sequel is as fun as the first game! Shift II adds a twist to the original, with more shapes to match and more modes. Our favorite new mode is The Tactical, where you must maintain your streak to keep playing!" -- Panic Staff Pick
