What is Shift Happens?
An accident links two jelly-like creatures in this 2D puzzle platformer. In local or online co-op, players change the creatures' sizes to cross obstacles and solve puzzles across levels set in a laboratory, forests, canyons, and caves. Single-player mode has separate levels.

What players say
77% of 4,390 reviews are positive · 61% of 13 in the last 30 days
