Blackshift

Post by eMTe »

This game kinda reminds me of famous Chip's Challenge. Tons of blocks, switches, zero-friction floors, conveyors, teleports, keys, crumbly walls, landmines, trapdoors... And about hundred levels to beat. That explains all I think...

Dammit, I always get stuck in puzzle games...
This is one of those where it actually bothers me...
Great game, and I would have sworn this could have been a commercial game at some point...
Free entertainment is generally good entertainment, but this one is just GREAT entertainment. Good game, and is available for download here at CWF.

This one is for the pure puzzleheads out there. There's no two ways about it - this one is a brainteaser. With that many levels, you need patience and lots of coffee to get through Blackshift. Reminds me of some of the old C64 puzzlers (which I never got very far in either).

Being a follower of Chip's Challenge when I see a game even slightly resembling it I immediately fall in love. I'm not good in rating such titles...

If you like to have your brain being teased Blackshift, along with Quadrax and Hex-A-Hop is the best out there. IheMTe'so. ;)
