App Review: ":Shift:"

Written on 1:31 PM by irockish

I have another app review today! The app is called shift. If you’ve ever been to vivalagames.com or miniclip.com I’m sure you’ve played it before. And it’s really no different from the PC game. The developer of the game is the same one who made the flash game, Armor Games. The game is only $0.99 in the app store, long story short: worth it!

On the main menu, you got the Nice shift logo with some background mystery-pink-panther sounding music…classic! You then get “Start/.Resume” and then at the bottom comes scores, credits, and options. Options doesn’t do much as it only lets you choose how you want to Shift, whether tilting left or right, tilting forward or backward, or using the shift logo button in the corners of the game.

As im sure 99% of you have played it and know what it is, and what to do. You have to get the guy to the door, and you have to “shift” sometimes through most of the game to get the keys and unlock trap floors and stuff. On the PC game the gameplay is pretty simple and not much different for your iPhone/iPod Touch

The game is not in widescreen mode which is kinda eh but its ok, because how else r you gonna control it? Plus it keeps the ratio of the game you play on the computer. To move left or right, you hit the arrows, and then to jump you hit the center button or while hitting the key to go the left the right becomes a UP button to jump and vice-versa.

The game is a little small, but it’s brings the same exact storyline from the regular game. I would’ve kinda liked to have some new levels? I think that would make it even more reason to purchase. Hopefully when the 3.0 firmware comes out and with the new Game API’s to allow customers to buy more levels from the game, I hope that Armor Games takes some advantage to doing this.

My Verdict on the game? This game has always been fun to play because it really is like a new game to play; it’s a lot different then your typical get to the door game. I had to purchase it because I loved the concept of it, plus when your on the long trips or something, it’s something nice to whip out and play again and again! If armor games does decide to add the more levels I’ll be willing to lay down a couple more bucks for about 10 or so more challenging levels ;]

Also try the :SHIFT: Lite Version here, its FREE!!!!
