4.4/5 (117 votes)

Shift 4 is now available to play and it brings with it a shiny new iPhone app of the original Shift experience to take with you on-the-go. If you're familiar with the Shift series so far, a lot of the elements in this game will seem very familiar. However, twists do come, as you will eventually find yourself having to control more than one silhouetted fellow. You've now got to use a team of folks to reach the exits and advance.

There's a shift 4? Consider my day made!

I really like the overall concept, even not having played the other games of the series.

Maybe it's just me, but I have a problem with those circular buttons. When I touch them something happens, ok. But when I walk out of them, something 'unhappens'! I tried all possible ways; jumping, waiting, pressing something... there's no way to not unpress those kind of buttons or I'm doing something dumb :D Maybe there's something to do with Firefox, or the Flash version I'm using. I stopped playing then.

Shift 4. I love it already and haven't even started yet! Loved Shifts 1, 2 and 3. Roll on Shift 5. Just love it all!

Shift 2 was enough... boring, Armor Games. You can do better!

Diego:

You need to hold the button with one family member, and switch control to another one.

I'm stuck on Room 11, the one with

the pit of spikes, saying 'this level is impassible'

Do I need to do something in another level to get through?

General Hint:

go to the green rooms on the map to make it to the end

Probably the best Shift of the series. The

Shaft Parody

was kinda awesome.

And the circular buttons need to remain set.

Best ending ever! LOL :D
Great game, as usual. Even the music was stepped up! Wish there was a way to quit a level for when you go back to get to the extra rooms.

For those of you how can't get to the end, the end song is to Issac Hayes' "Shaft" theme song. Here are the "Shift" lyrics:

Who's the game that's all about bein' black n' white and flipin out?

Shift!

You damn right.
And aint' talking about no Ikaroogi either.
He he.

Who is the game that risks it's rep on sequel shame?

Shift!

Will you dig it?
Cause er... we really need the page veiws...
I'm bein' serious!

Who's the game that might just crash-save files lost because it's Flash?

Shift!

Right on!
Unless of course you get on one of those er... what do you call it?
Fancy iPhone!

It's just a complicated mess that noone understands except its coder...

Code Fudged!

was this made by the guy that made closure because 16 is an ad forclosure.

Great game, as usual. Still looking for the Foreclosure and Fake Timer medals.

Reply
ganondox May 21, 2009 4:39 PM

I won! The secret is to not think for the final 3 levels, just do. I got all the medals put hardclass....

Reply

blahhh on my mac pressing the ctrl key and arrows takes me to different spaces....kind of ruins the ability to play the game

Reply

Help on room 13?

Reply

Bflatt, I think on the Mac the Option key functions as the Window's Ctrl key. If not, then try the Command key.

Reply

There's a problem with the "music: off" setting. That is, it doesn't work. The music keeps coming back on. It can be frustrating.

Reply

The Ctrl key isn't working for me.

Reply

It keeps crashing in Challenge mode when I try to shift really quickly.

Reply

I feel like an idiot, but I'm completely stuck on room 6 after you free the first person. I feel like I've tried everything...

I can't figure out 3-21. Help!

What do you have to do to get the Appreciator, Foreclosure and Hardclass medals?

Reply

I got all the trophies, but...you mean to tell me...

The CC isn't a lie anymore?

Reply

This game gets worse and worse for each release. The first one was good. Since then, it's just been less good every time. Crappy programming and finish.

Anonymous May 22, 2009 6:37 AM

Finished the really final level with:

0 seconds on the clock. So tense!

And the timer's actually real on those levels, too.

Is there a reward for getting all the medals? I didn't see one.

Reply

I'm a huge Shift fan, and I'm liking this one so far... But I do have a slight complaint. I can't turn the sound off, I try and a minute or so later, it comes back on. Very annoying.

Reply

Does anyone know how to get past room 9? I can't figure out how to hit the second switch!

Reply
Razorhead May 22, 2009 7:56 AM

Got the trophy with 23 seconds left on the timer!
For fake timer trophy:

just let the 10-minutes timer run out

For appreciator trophy:

view credits

For hardclass trophy:

complete players pack hard

Is there anything more to do in the "trofii" room? It feels like a tease.

Reply

Eh, Shift 4 was a disappointment to me. I LOVED the previous versions, but this one just... lacked. It seemed rather short (especially considering it has four "chapters") and the storyline was lacking in comparison to previous Shift titles, especially Shift 3. Also,

both endings felt awfully anticlimactic to me, especially the "good" ending... again, mostly in comparison to Shift 2.

Also, though not a huge problem, a quality setting would've been nice considering this one hits a bit harder than previous titles and lagged on my computer a bit.

Reply

I can't get to do the conclusion. Once I get through two or three rotations, the script wants to stop running. Pleh. Oh well, I enjoyed it up to here and just sad that I can't finish!

Okay, how do I get the Foreclosure and Hardclass medals? Someone said to play the players pack hard, where is that?

Anonymous May 23, 2009 4:25 AM

Foreclosure:

I think you have to get to Room 16 - it's a dead-end room you wouldn't normally visit, anyway.

The Players' Pack is an option under the Chapter Selection menu, I believe. There are Easy and Hard choices, although I don't think either are that bad. Maybe I'm just used to Shift by now, but several of them seem to be less concerned with puzzles and more concerned with aesthetics. One of them was just a single-player reworking of one of the Shift 4 campaign levels.

LotusGramarye May 23, 2009 12:30 PM

For the guy wondering about the cirle buttons...duh? That's part of the puzzle; when you ove off the switch, whatever happened 'unhappens.' That's why you have more than one person to ctrl, so the second person can get across after switch is activated.

Reply

I'm terribly sad to say that I can't seem to work out room 7. I can't get to that cage over there, open it up, use the magic button to switch control... what am I missing? >_

Reply

Wait, no... I feel stupid. Never mind :P

Reply

I'm on a Mac, and no key is working to control the other player, not CTRL, not Option, not Command. VERY FRUSTRATING! Anyone got a suggestion?

Reply

NM, power of posting and all that.

Realized I had to let the 2nd person out of the cage before I could control them.

Reply

I'm stuck. I've already rescued the other person but I don't know how to get back to room 1.

Reply

Never mind. Power of posting. And by the way:

The timer

is fake

Reply

I can't play the final challenge. It keeps lagging and causes my Flash player to run slowly.

Reply

Just finished em. Feeling very happy.

Reply

If you get the bad ending, you hear a nice little French tune. Does anyone know what that tune is, or where I might get it? It's stuck in my head now.

Reply

@Steven: The French tune you hear at the ending is Charles Trenet's "Boum". Find it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0KWyWwVp0E

So you mean to tell me...

That Mel Gibson isn't making an appearance in this game as well?

Mel Gibson = Fancy Pants Man

Ah well. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

Reply

Is it weird that 'Mom' looks more like a man and 'Dad' looks more like a woman? And didn't they have a son in Shift3?

Reply

I get a bug where I can't move for about 2 seconds after I hit a gravity changing button. In places where you don't fall off the button, I never get to move, and can't do anything but reset the level. This makes some levels completely impossible. (Firefox, WinXP, Flash 10.0.22.87)

Jen using a mac,

You can change the keys that control your spaces in the Spaces preferences window - I change mine to one of the other options just while I'm playing, then I go back in and change them. It'll allow you to use the CTRL key like it's meant to.

Hope that helps!
