VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Mr. Shifty isn't the most polished or substantive game out there. Its presentation is basic and its story generic. The folks at Team Shifty make these things seem inconsequential, however, by focusing intently on the title's core gameplay hook. Mr. Shifty might be short on content and looks, but its teleportation mechanic is so satisfying that it's easy to look past any shortcomings and concentrate on its fast and frenetic combat."
