  • Summary: Shift Happens is a two-player co-op platformer. In the true spirit of couch co-op, you and a friend have to work together to master each level. Including the occasional backstabbing and taunting.

    It's a lovely cheerful physics puzzle game which is great entertainment played in co-op while sitting on the couch. In single player it loses a bit of that magic.

    It's quite fun to play the co-op with a friend and there are some pretty hilarious moments, but gets kind of boring half-way through since itIt's quite fun to play the co-op with a friend and there are some pretty hilarious moments, but gets kind of boring half-way through since it becomes very repetitive. Similar levels, not enough new mechanics, the same annoying music playing all the time. Expand

    Completion:
    - Three stars on all main levels
    - Played the whole game through local co-op

    Pros:
    - Many different ways to play (local and online co-op as well as single player)
    - Solid difficulty curve, challenging though constantly manageable
    - Although there are few mechanics, they make good use out of the ones they do introduce
    - Solid physics-based puzzle game, especially considering the oversaturation of the genre

    Cons:
    - Repetitive music
    - Only four, relatively static, environments in the whole game
    - Physics can be glitchy
    - The game doesn't introduce enough new mechanics for the genre
    - Lame secrets that range from obvious to far too random and obscure

    Boring. i got it almost for free so I don't care about the money but is so tiring and over-complicated with the same mechanics all over again.Boring. i got it almost for free so I don't care about the money but is so tiring and over-complicated with the same mechanics all over again. loads of bugs with cubes where you can get out of the map or even out of sync with your partner. Dying and losing all of the hearts makes you restart the whole level all over again and have to recollect the points. The combo to throw your partner above you will not work most of the time and it will throw in front of you. You hardly ever get the hearts not to respawn from the beginning. The bonus levels are pain in the ass and hardly worth the time. Second level is buggy where you sometimes can't get past the barrier which the fatty has to break. It makes you restart the whole level. Terrible design... Expand
