Drop blocks. Shift colors. Speed up. This new block-based puzzle game challenges you to group blocks together, while planning ahead to shift and adapt your stack to upcoming blocks and arrows. Create a group of five or more blocks and the group will clear and you'll earn points. Arrows attached to blocks will cause nearby blocks to change. Adapt your strategy to the constantly changing arrow effects, and the increasing speed of the game. Enjoy casually playing Shift while zoning out and enjoying its original sounds and soundtrack, or try to get a new high score in regular play or time trial modes. With beautiful animations and a relaxing pace, this is the perfect game for a long plane ride or an afternoon on the couch. It's free to play, and has plenty of unlockable achievements. Check back for more updates in the future!
