Shift Quantum

Shift Quantum is a puzzle 2D platformer game that follows the idea from the Shift Flash games. The main mechanic of the game revolves about using the Shift key which inverts you down on the platform you are standing combined with new gimmicks to keep the gameplay fresh. From the total of 120 levels you can expect to get stuck and come back at a later time to finish the puzzle, the later levels are definitely challenging. You will also find collectibles, called glitches in the game, which offer further challenge, but have no impact on the story or gameplay. The story is scattered throughout some of the levels where you will complete them with the help of an NPC. There are no collectibles on these levels and after you complete them you won't be able to replay them. While the game starts off making you think you can make choices, there is only one ending, which might leave you unsatisfied.

This is one of those games where you'll probably know whether you're gonna like it or not just by watching the trailer. Chances are you're only checking the reviews to see if people had any issues with bugs or dodgy controls, or how easy/difficult the puzzles are. Well, seeing as you're here, I'll assure you that it plays like a charm. A perfect marriage of slick platforming and clever puzzles. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the 15 or so hours it took me to achieve 100%.

Overview/Background Shift Quantum is a very well-made cyber-noir action-puzzler platformer that truly makes the player think outside of the box. You may remember the Shift series, black and white flash games that contained mind-bending puzzles and had plenty of exciting music. Well, Shift Quantum is the successor and really brings back that similar gameplay in a much more polished fashion, with increased difficulty, more content, a level-editor, and lots of community-made puzzles that gives the player so much to look forward to. If there is any idea of the quality of game you are getting, keep in mind that this brought to you by Fishing Cactus, the same folks who made Epistory - Typing Chronicles. Basic Premise The story is simple, you entrust your life in a program called Axon Vertigo that promis

An Piece of art from the developers of Epistory - Typing Chronicles Even though I am not a huge fan of this genre, the fact that it was developed by Fishing Cactus convinced me buying it. Shift Quantum is a great cyber-punk puzzle platformer. One of the great things is difficulty being build up nicely. In the beginning you'll be introduced to the games mechanics, get a hang of the shifting. Once you get the hang of the shifting part the game will introduce various other elements. These elements will require out of the box thinking, especially when you start shifting the gravity and use the main shifting mechanic. Furthermore it is the most beautiful cyber-punk game I have seen ever seen. The environment is amazing and every detail is finished to convey in this big picture. To finish off, they have introduced a story that will leave you with a lot of questions during the gameplay. I

Shift Quantum is a decent puzzle game that offers 117 levels. I love such games that offer Unique Mechanics (like Hue, GOROGOA, Monument Valley, Framed and Old Man's Journey) that offer different perspectives. The early and mid-game puzzles are challenging but later ones SOFT LOCK you and require constant resets. That gets annoying. I've played games that either give an option to fix steps or resets without loading delays. Developers abandoned the server, level editor and community levels are DEAD! Devs aware since 2022, absolutely no input from them. WARNING! Related achievements UNOBTAINABLE! Overall a forgotten rough gem.

There have been dozens of games that utilize the core mechanics of “Shift” so most people are familiar with them. You shift between a regular and negative space. The world is flipped upside down after your shift. You have to use this ability on every level to reach the exit. The difficulty is gradually increasing. New elements, obstacles, traps, and objects you can interact with are introduced. Shift Quantum can be frustrating at times, but it hard to put down. There is a good balance of puzzling, jumping and climbing. Shift Quantum has a lot of handcrafted levels and even a cyberpunk story with cut-scenes. Almost every level has an additional challenge in the form of optional collectibles that
