Critic Reviews for Shift Happens
You’ll be shifting between sizes many times throughout a level – but it’ll only work with solid communication.
Shift Happens is a rewarding and challenging puzzler that is especially enjoyable in co-op. The gradual introduction of new and increasingly complex mechanics is done right, and you'll feel on top of the world as you grow more adept at utilizing them.
Shift Happens is a platform game with arcade mixes ideal for all ages. Take the control of Bismo and Plom, two beings made with chemical compounds that want to escape from the factory just where they were created. You can play it in the company of a friend, online or locally. Enjoy!. @

All in all, I can say that without a doubt this is one of the best co-op puzzle platformers to hit the eShop's digital shelves. If you're looking for a good game to spend playing with your sibling, cousin, friend, or family member, definitely add this one to your Switch's library and prepare for the laughs and challenges to come.
Don't expect too much from the single player mode, but if you've got a friends who'll enjoy puzzling with you, I highly recommend picking Shift Happens up.
Shift Happens is a fun puzzle game with colorful graphics and character design that oozes charm. There is a nice variety of puzzles that keep things feeling fresh so that you don't end up doing the same puzzle style over and over again. The amount of content is brilliant, and depending on your skill level, you're looking at 8-12 hours to complete everything the game has to offer. The two characters offer a lot of smart abilities for solving puzzles, and the puzzles themselves are very creative, giving your brain a decent workout.
Shift Happens is an enjoyable cooperative 2D puzzle platformer but it's unfortunately hindered by a limited solo experience as well as many irritating gameplay flaws.
Shift Happens is a very well polished coop adventure. A suitable designed learning curve, the minimalistic graphic and sound design and cool gameplay ideas all fit together perfectly and offer many unforgettable moments of jumping and running.
