Shift Happens

Short description

Shift Happens is a cooperative platformer for two. You and a friend shift your mass, throw each other and puzzle your way through four stages of stylized imaginary worlds. Including the occasional backstabbing and taunting. Play with a friend on a couch, online or even special singleplayer levels.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by $11.25, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $15.99 launch price. That is 30% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
