H4plo Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Step into the monochromatic and mind-bending universe of Shift, where black and white landscapes hide more than meets the eye! This is a preview release. It contains the first 10 levels of the game. It is missing a few features (e.g. sound effects), and very likely contains bugs.

Beeblebrox Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Video of gameplay just listed on Atarionline.pl I've seen this clever engine before, with the inverse flipping between the black and white on screen. Love it. Ah yes, Flob and it's upside down flip engine, (which is a similar mechanic, but different to Shift's inverse engine), is one of the best games on the A8. One thing - given this is 2 tone colour, I wonder why it wasn't done in gr8 hi res, with the main character highly animated? Given there is no colour, it seems idea to do gr8. Edit: ah, actually on closer inspection is it gr8 already, but with just the main character in a lower res? I am viewing on my mobile. Can't wait to boot this up on my 600xl test rig, (currently tbe only A8 I have that isn't in bits being tinkered with, or missing chips Heh Heh! 😁 Edited May 11 by Beeblebrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, but it is done in hi-res, just the main character - as a hardware sprite - is not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelen Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Very nice game, great graphics and smooth (jumping) animation of the player! Reminds me to the inverse key I used alot in Basic programming 35 years ago 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
