Testimonials for Blackshift

I've played a lot of puzzle games before, but it's been a very long time since I've been this enthralled by one! — Jasmine_SteelI could not think of a better puzzle game. — dr omskIf you like solving mazes with different mechanics, this is for you! It's challenging enough to keep you thinking, and with new mechanics the further in you go, it doesn't get stale. — Ashman The GuyA true hidden gem. — randomized0000As far as Chip's Challenge like puzzle games go, Blackshift is probably the strongest one I've played. — AspIf you've never heard of it, but like puzzle/platformers, this is one of the best. — peterbresI had so much fun playing this, feels like it was made for me. Uncountable mechanics, surprises, secrets, different ways to play. — Novato ZottoBest puzzle game on Steam! — Ubu(All quotes from Steam reviews)

The Level Pit

Make your own levels with the built-in level editor, and upload them to the Level Pit where other people can play them. There are thousands of user-created levels in the Pit, each with its own leaderboard. You can even watch replays of other people playing your levels. The Editor and the Pit are both built into the game; you can do everything from within Blackshift itself.

Very fun and addicting!! Only wish there was an undo button to undo a move I did, but I understand it's probably impossible to do since there are automatically moving objects

The original was amazing and I remember it fondly. This is a great continuation / expansion / re-imagining and well worth your time and money!

A top-down maze-based action puzzler, with elements and influences from Sokoban, Chip's Challenge, Boulderdash, and even Deadly Rooms of Death (DROD). Over 100 levels with optional secret challenges you won't even notice at first, and perfect level design. Controls are satisfyingly chunky, with excellent feedback and just the right amount of buffering; and chain reactions are frequent and fun (and often dangerous). There is an optional story, it's not going to blow your mind but it's another layer of interest. Custom levels are implemented seamlessly. Play-testing is instant and you can upload levels to the Level Pit and watch high score replays as well as death reels, which can be quite funny when people fall in your traps : ))) Finally, the negatives: All of these have been fixed since the game is still in active development. New features and performance enhancements are still being added to what is already a polished and satisfying game. I've gotten the good ending of the game and still haven't uncovered every last secret, and I'm still playing and making maps. More people should play this game, it feels great to play and the puzzles tickle your brain. If you like death maz…

super interesting action puzzle game that has a shocking amount of really cool ideas going on. it's a lot like chips challenge, and in fact, it's a remake of a 2005 game, so it's very Of The Era, but unlike chips challenge, I think it does way more interesting things with the mechanic set, introducing a huge range of really interesting ideas and using all of them to their fullest potential. it's also got a nice layer of secrets to hunt! you can see my playtime to know that at this price it's an absolute steal, and if you finish the game and still want more, there's even a level editor and a custom level browser! It's an action game, not just a puzzler, so there is a few difficult-to-execute challenges, but I believe in you..!

I played the original like 20 years ago and was totally addicted. I often thought about it over the years, having good nostalgic feelings. I am so happy to have found it here. I Solved the first stages and got used to the updated design. I could not think of a better puzzle game.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
