About this game

Shift Quantum is a tech noir puzzle-action platformer that will bend your mind. It will squeeze your gray matter out with its unique SHIFT mechanic allowing you to invert black and white space.

Solutions often require experimenting with spatial relationships.

Cons

Difficulty becomes uneven in later challenges.
Some puzzles rely on trial and error.
Main campaign is short relative to asking price without user levels.
