    This game is garbage. Start to finish it's terrible. The game throws tons of enemies at you and demands that you kill them all to move on. The checkpoint system is a complete joke. You have to redo entire rooms WHEN you die, and you will die a lot because of how cheap this game is.

The game throws tons of enemies at you and demands that you kill them all to move on. The checkpoint system is a complete joke. You have to redo entire rooms WHEN you die, and you will die a lot because of how cheap this game is. The final level is even worse than the rest of the game because instead of going through a door and getting a checkpoint, the door dissolves and you are forced to do an entire two room area over and over again as the entire building shifts around you. Whichever one of the developers thought it would be awesome to put so few weapons in the game and doesn't allow the player to use the guns strewn about everywhere, stop making games. Now. Just stop. I want my $15 back for this game. It's terrible. You may be hurting for games to play on the Switch, but skip this game, unless you enjoy just wasting money, even then I would just take the money outside and throw it into the wind instead of spending it on this. In the end, you'll have just as much value for the money spent. Waste of money; waste of time. Terrible, terrible game.… Expand

    Mr. Shifty could have been a new classic. As it stands, it's a fun little action game with plenty of sequel potential. [Issue #28 – July/August 2017, p. 21]

    Despite the framerate issues, Mr. Shifty is a good time and well worth the price of admission. One of the better games on the Nintendo Switch. Maybe a patch can rectify my main concern with the game.

    When it runs at 100%, Mr Shifty is thrilling, challenging and satisfying when played at high speed - as it should be played. Unfortunately, performance issues and a bland personality slightly hold it back from reaching Hotline Miami levels of grandeur.
