Shift, a puzzle platformer, is available for free today from the Amazon Appstore. And you can be sure to expect a solid game when you load it up. One of my current favorite Minis on the PlayStation Minis platform for PS3/PSP, this little Android gem has slick black and white visuals and an addictive level flipping mechanic that may throw you for a loop.
Upon first boot, you will find a shallow menu that makes getting into the game nice and fast. The first few levels are there to help you understand the mechanics of the game, the usual tutorial fare. But what really sucks you in is how the game uses all the elements, seemingly so few, but when sandwiched into one level and placed under a time limit things begin to turn upside down.
The visuals, though black and white, are striking with smooth lines. Platforming trademarks like the run and the jump are all present. But wait until you meet the spikes. It'll bring true color to your life, I mean the end of your life. If you are one of those literal types, I'm talking about your character.
Head over to the Amazon Appstore for Android to grab this most amazing game. One of my top ten favorite games.
