Robin Kocaurek (Co-Founder Klonk Games):

“Shift Happens is best played as co-op together on the couch and we are very excited to see people’s reaction to the console version.”

Jan Klose (Managing Director, Deck13):

“We can’t wait to publish Shift Happens on consoles and invigorate couch co-op play with it.”

Shift Happens is a co-op platformer. The game features challenging puzzle gameplay that two player have to work together on to solve. At its core the game revolves around the “Shift” mechanic. The players use that mechanic to change the size of two protagonists “Bismo” and “Plom” reciprocally to master different levels.
