Shift Happens On Steam Next Week
Shift Happens is the name of a cool-looking co-op puzzler from Klonk Games that will arrive on Steam and XBox One next week. Two players take control of Bismo and Plom, two jelly blob creatures that were joined together in a freak accident and must work together to escape 40 levels filled with puzzles and traps. Bismo and Plom have the ability to swap sizes and abilities between one another, and you’ll need someone you trust at Controller 2 to make it!
That being said….the game DOES provide a little incentive to sabotage your partner in the form of the coins and collectibles you’ll be gathering in the stages. If you wind up “accidentally” knocking the other person off a large ledge, you’ll get the coins he or she has collected so far. But you wouldn’t be mean, would you?
Klonk is recommending the game for couples, but that just might be due to their press release coming out on Valentine’s Day. If you’re by your lonesome, it is possible to play the game solo by swapping between the creatures yourself, much like the 90’s classic The Lost Vikings.
