Shift is a deceptively simple match-four game for Playdate that requires a little strategy, a small amount of luck and occasionally a deep breath and a fingers-crossed gamble.


Your task is to shift tiles around the 4x4 grid to get an entire row or column of tiles to be the same color. Tiles will move until they are no longer able, be that by hitting the edge of the grid, or another tile.
Your task, with the help of a droid named SAM-Y, is to shift tiles around a grid to get an entire row or column to be the same color.


Tiles can be shifted left, right, up and down. When a match is made, the tiles in the match are removed from the grid and the entire grid shifts in the direction you moved to make the match. New tiles are then added to the grid.
Maintain your energy, make efficient moves, and enjoy a meditative, relaxing game designed with the Playdate’s casual nature in mind.
