Shift Happens is a puzzle platformer with a focus on the 2-player couch co-op experience. Players take on the roles of Bismo and Plom, two blobby guys whose masses are bound together. When one shifts sizes, the other shifts to the inverse size. Mastering this mechanic will be key to solving the puzzles as Bismo and Plom traverse the levels, which consist of four stages (laboratory, forest, canyon, grotto).

Puzzle Platformer Shift Happens Headed to Xbox OneJason Love

Most of the puzzles in Shift Happens revolve around you and your co-op partner shifting your sizes back and forth. It's an idea that appears to be similar to how Shiftlings operated, with the alien janitors in space suits that inflated and deflated being swapped out for sentient blobs. That's totally fine as far as I'm concerned as I feel you can never have too many co-op puzzle games.

The little jelly tubs Bismo and Plom can do what most puzzle platform stars can do, including jumping, grabbing things, and shoving blocks around. The twist in Shift Happens is that size matters, meaning the big dude has to push the big blocks around while smalls squeezes into tiny spaces and makes the long leaps. Characters can toss each other around, too, and certain switches require more weight to activate. Swap sizes back and forth as you work both characters towards the exit. If Bismo or Plom dies the other can resurrect them, just make sure one character is safe and you'll stay in the game.
