One tower. One puzzle. Every day. Evershift Daily is a tactile block puzzle about shifting glass pieces, clearing lines, and guiding a little character named ollo safely down the tower. Every day brings a new tower shared by every player. Move pieces into open spaces, push connected blocks together, and clear complete lines to create a path for ollo. The rules are simple, but every tower asks you to see the structure in a new way. Complete the Daily Challenge, then compare your best time with players around the world. Return tomorrow to keep your streak alive, or enter Survival for an ongoing, turn-based challenge where every move raises the tower. FEATURES • A new shared puzzle every day • Global Daily and Survival leaderboards • Personal best times, streaks, stats, and achievements • Turn-based Survival mode with escalating hazards and multipliers • Customizable leaderboard avatars • Online Rival mode with head-to-head multiplayer competition • Founding Season progression with free and Pro reward tracks • Game Center integration FREE PLAY AND REWARDED ADS Today's Daily and today's Survival Daily can be played without ads. Free players can watch one rewarded ad per new attempt at either of the previous two Daily puzzles, Survival, or Wildshift. Unfinished attempts resume without another ad.
