Shift Happens has been out for a while now and it is finally time for some updates. Today, a fresh update has been released for PC, introducing hats for everyone.
TBG writes - Platform puzzlers go back a long way in the gaming world. For me, the first game I played in this genre was Chip’s Challenge on Windows 95 (Chips Challenge 2 is currently on Steam by the way, finally released after many many years of copyright limbo), for some more youthful gamers it will be the series Portal (Portal 3 is currently on St… oh who am I kidding, Gabe hates the number three!). Both of these games are tried, tested and successful examples of a genre usually based inside a laboratory and/or test chamber style environment. Shift Happens is no different. But does the latest in the genre prove that there is no need for a “Shift” in direction, or that as a genre it is starting to age quite “Shiftly”… I’m here all week folks.
Sit on the couch, hand your buddy a controller, and get ready to see some Shift. Shift Happens is an experience designed to play with a friend and beat challenging puzzles. While there's plenty of charm and wit to pass around, there isn't much else to it.
EB: A fun little puzzle romp for two people. Shift Happens suffers a little from not having a stronger offering for single player. Once you and a friend have completed it there's not a lot here to come back to. Still fun, and for the price it's not a bad distraction.
