Shift Happens Releases
MUNICH - Feb. 22, in the year of our Lord 2017
- The puzzle platformer Shift Happens has wobbled its way onto
Steam and the Xbox Store! Published by Deck13 and developed by
Klonk Games, Shift Happens - best played with a friend or
significant other - offers players a hearty challenge through 40
levels and four unique worlds filled with traps and puzzles.
Take control of Bismo and Plom, two jelly blob creatures that
were joined together in a freak accident. The duo must use their
newly-acquired power - the ability to exchange their size and
skills seemingly at will - to survive a strange laboratory,
overgrown green forests, dry canyons filled with deadly winds,
and bitter cold caves. “Teamwork” is the name of the game: When
shifting, both characters change sizes simultaneously in a
symbiotic relationship. The bigger blob gets smaller - and the
smaller blob gets bigger.
The bigger blob can throw the smaller blob across chasms, push
heavy crates, survive in shallow water, and activate
weight-based triggers.
The smaller blob can jump higher/farther, move under small
barriers, and be “launched” by the bigger blob
You and your partner can earn coins and other collectibles in
every level. However, instead of sharing the wealth, it’s
possible to “accidentally” cause each other to die - turning
your hard-earned coins into a neat little package that’s up for
grabs. Will you trust one another and work together - or will
you fight for every scrap?
“With Shift Happens, we wanted to recreate our childhood
memories of sitting on the couch eating pizza - and playing
co-op games for hours on end,” says Robin Kocaurek, co-founder
of Klonk Games. “We hope Shift Happens takes players back to a
simpler time, when sibling-on-sibling rivalries and sweet
retribution were very much a thing!”
