Shift Happens

Shift Happens is a cooperative platformer for two. You and a friend shift your mass, throw each other and puzzle your way through four stages of stylized imaginary worlds. Including the occasional backstabbing and taunting. Play with a friend on a couch, online or even special singleplayer levels.

“This is the game if for you if you hate your friend. Jokes aside, this game causes massive strife. Play nicely.”

“No idea why so many people here are complaining about minor bugs. The game is from 2017 and hasn't been updated in years. It's not AAA studio behind this... Awesome, 10/10. Bugs are funny. And to those crying.... get good.”

“The idea of ​​this game is very interesting and cool, but the execution is terrible. The game is riddled with bugs, making it difficult to complete. If you're playing against the clock, it's like a lottery where luck can smile on you at any moment. And the storyline is so-so.…”
