Description
Staff note: This sequel is as fun as the first game! Shift II adds a twist to the original, with more shapes to match and more modes. Our favorite new mode is The Tactical, where you must maintain your streak to keep playing! A sequel to 2022's award nominated puzzle game , Shift II takes the familiar and adds all new mechanics, strategy and ways to play. Featuring three game play modes, The Calm tasks you with managing your energy supply, The Tactical only cares about your ability to maintain a streak, while The Frantic pits you against a thirty second countdown timer and was specifically designed for those of you who were disappointed that the original game wasn't stressful enough. Keeping up your streak count, upgrading and downgrading tiles and making the most efficient moves as possible are all critical to your high score chances.

Here at Dynamo Defense Systems , we realize productive output when Shifting is of the utmost importance. With that in mind, we have deprecated the Shift Assistant Model Y in favor of the all new Hyperspatial Directive Node - our most expensive and least personable technology to date. ⚠️ Any encounters with rogue SAM-Y units should be reported to your supervisor immediately. Features Three play modes: The Calm, The Tactical and The Frantic. All new gameplay and mechanics. Four local player profiles with custom names. Local and global leader boards for all modes. Pick up where you left off in all modes, across all player profiles. A "Reduce Motion" accessibility option. SAM-Y?
