Is It Any Good?
: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.
