Description
A nominee for the 2022 Playdate Community Awards Best Puzzle Game , Shift is a deceptively simple match-four game for Playdate that requires a little strategy, a small amount of luck and occasionally a deep breath and a fingers-crossed gamble. Your task, with the help of a droid named SAM-Y, is to shift tiles around a grid to get an entire row or column to be the same color. Maintain your energy, make efficient moves, and enjoy a meditative, relaxing game designed with the Playdate’s casual nature in mind.
