About the Game

Hello! I'm a solo developer from Finland, and this is my game that I have been making for 3 years. Place it in your wishlist if you find it interesting :)

What is Shifter?





It's a rogue-lite game where you can shift the direction of gravity. It has unique boss fights, weapons, skills, enemies, and more! You have a microchip in your brain, which has been hacked in your sleep. In order to wake up, you must complete the challenge given by the hacker!

Things you can do:

  • Change gravity
  • Grappling hook
  • Fight in interesting ways
  • Use cool weapons
  • Throw exploding heads
  • Update your character's attributes
  • And die!

Different weapons




The world is procedurally generated so you can go in any direction in this complex dream world.. You can also use a grappling hook to move around quickly and to kill enemies. There’s all kinds of different weapons such as regular weapons, shields, bows, machine guns and also weapons that are alive, exploding heads etc.

Bosses


There are many boss fights and enemies that interact with gravity-shifting mechanics in the game in different ways, and strange enemies like giant arms and other limbs that attack from holes in the ground and try to kill you.
