    Shift DX takes one premise and remarkably makes it last for 200+ levels. Its healthy mix of spatial reasoning and platforming obstacles effectively tests your mind and reflexes. I’m convinced that this game stimulates a part of your brain that you rarely use, and it feels great. If you are even a casual fan of puzzle platformers, Shift DX will turn your world upside-down.

    Shift DX takes a simple concept and creates plenty of fun levels out of it. Anyone who enjoys this genre or has a small interest in it should definitely pick this one up.

    Shift DX is a no-nonsense platformer with simplistic graphics, single-screen puzzles, and straightforward progression. The focus on shifting shows the depth of that concept, as the levels rarely feel stagnant and regularly add new twists as you go deeper. This is a fun platformer that’s easy to get lost in.

    Shift DX is a portable puzzler that fans of the genre shouldn't pass up on. It may be lacking in some aspects yet the addictive reality-altering gameplay will keep you hooked until you complete its massive campaign and the level editor is great for creative types.

    In short bursts, Shift DX doesn't wear out its welcome, and it has no shortage of "Eureka!" moments to share. [Issue #26 – March/April 2017, p.19]

    If Shift DX performs very well on its main mode, thanks to well-designed (and plentiful) rooms and a difficulty curve that feels overall right, it's lacking in other aspects such as multiplayer and online components. This is a fun and challenging puzzle game that could have gone further if other details had been thought of.
