About the Game

Step into the monochromatic and mind-bending universe of the Shift series developed by Antony Lavelle, where black and white landscapes hide more than meets the eye. This collection unites the original four titles presenting them as they first captured the minds of puzzle-platformer enthusiasts. This includes Shift, Shift 2, Shift 3, and Shift 4.



  • Innovative Shifting Mechanism: At the heart of the series is the ability to "shift" - flipping the game environment and inverting levels, turning floors into ceilings and obstacles into pathways as you try to find your way to the next room.
  • Layered Puzzles: Starting with the straightforward puzzles of Shift, each subsequent game introduces new elements, from Lightbulbs and Checkered Barriers in Shift 2 to Metroidvania-style backtracking in Shift 3, and multi-character coordination in Shift 4.
  • Over 100 Creative Levels: With each title, the series elevates its level design, balancing platforming precision with cerebral puzzle-solving to create a stimulating experience.
  • Also includes Shift Level Packs: Three Shift 3 Level Packs, Two Shift 4 Level Packs and a Shift 2 Mini Adventure.

    The "Shift Legacy Collection" is more than a series of games; it's a journey of a gameplay mechanic. From its humble beginnings to its complex conclusion, the collection offers hours of gameplay that will challenge your intellect and make you laugh.
