:SHIFT: is an original and intriguing puzzle adventure that asks the player to bend the reality that he or she sees on the screen. The graphics are in sharp black and white, and when the game starts, it's the black that is solid and the white that is negative space. But in order to find the way to the finish line of each maze, the player needs to flip the black and white sections of the screen. It forces players to think in new ways. The game is quite challenging, but rewarding and fun as well.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
