NETFLIX MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED. Solve your way through a charming world packed with clever tactical tile puzzles on a quest to find somewhere you fit in, and connect the quirky communities you discover. Explore a different kind of RPG: a "role-puzzling" game. The story unfolds through a unique, interconnected grid that spans the entire world. When you move, the colorful environment moves with you — creating a playful sense of chaos and a regular stream of small, thoughtful puzzles that twist and play with the central mechanic. Jump into the adventure as Jemma, a small-town misfit on a journey of self-discovery. Travel beyond your stiflingly cozy confines to find an inspiring world — yet one that’s ruled by fear and a strange, immovable static force. Can you shake up a culture of stagnation and find a place to belong? A COLORFUL, CONNECTED WORLD • A unique gameplay grid seamlessly unites combat and exploration. Meet a cast of quirky characters, vanquish monsters and discover surprises as you move through the world. • Swipe to slide up, down, left and right. Objects within the same row or column as you will move when you move, creating a wide variety of interesting puzzles. CLEVER YET ACCESSIBLE GAMEPLAY • There's no XP or inventory to manage in this breezy puzzle RPG. All game objects exist on the grid, and you maneuver them into place as you move through. • A straightforward quest log gives you one goal at a time. In-game assist options can point you in the right direction and let you skip puzzles, so you only get as stuck as you want to be. AN ALL-STAR DEVELOPMENT TEAM • This is the debut game from a team of indie developers including the artist behind "Braid," the designer of "Ethereal" and the writer of "Carto." - Created by Furniture & Mattress.

“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
