One bug I discovered in the Atari ST version. If ingame you press the shift key, the game crashes and exits to the desktop. Which is a bit ironic, but also the first thing I tried when I started the game, as I seem to remember that the Flash version used the shift key for shifting!
I love this idea! One hint on the ATARI ST version: as it is a monochrome game I intuetively tryed it in High-Res mode. And it chrashes without any information. Best add the information that this is an ST-Low game.
That said: this would be an amazing game for this ST High-Res mode! Please make a High-Res version!!! Hahah!
Thanks. I've added a note about the Low Resolution configuration.
As for the high-resolution version, Shift uses the Line-A emulator for the software sprite. I will have to check if it works in he high-resolution configuration too.
C64 version, level 17. There are two ways to get in the exit door. One is the long way, and the other is very short. Unfortunatly, neither are the answer to the secret level. Maybe a bug? (I have not tried the Amiga version yet.)
See the VIPER's retrogame videos comment below and follow the YOUTUBE video to find the answer to the secret level. Nice homage to Tenebra and Tenebra 2 for the exit to the secret level. I would have never found it without the comment in VIPER's video.
What a wonderful game! It’s great to see that c64 games are still being written all these years later. I really hope you create a sequel as I had a lot of fun completing this game. Never found the secret level but it is a reason to play through again. Keep up the great games. Thank you.
Excellent puzzle game, reminds me of ‘And Yet It Moves’. Works seamlessly under FS-UAE on my old Mac! Thanks to Haplo for supporting the Amiga platform in 2024.
Despite (or perhaps because of) the simple graphic style, this is certainly one of the most innovative puzzle games we have ever played.

I loved it! I was looking for games that could be played with an e-ink monitor when I discovered Tenebra, now this one works perfectly too (though it adds a bit of extra difficulty due to the low refresh rate). Thank you for making these games!
yea this is quite something, i have to wonder if the levels are a.i. generated or some people actually got around a table and wrecked their brains to make up interesting puzzles
that makes it even more amazing, you seem to have a thing for monochrome off-the-track puzzlers ... im looking forward to more, thanks for all the work
I guess the access to the secret level can be found in level 26 (that was too easy). However, I didn't feel like re-recording the video from there, so here's my longplay without the secret level.

Will there be a ZX version sometime in the future please?
Have you considered plans to bring the game to Atari Jaguar, Jaguar CD or 3DO?
Maybe one day. I'll have to talk to Armor Games first and get their permission.
Thanks for bringing this game to home computers!

Not really a bug...during the development I used the SHIFT key for a clean exit back to the desktop, and I left it in there.
Amazing game!!!

Yes the short way to finish 17 was unintended. A couple of other levels have the same issue. They were fixed in the Amiga version.
Thank you for the information. Playing Shift has been a lot of fun.

Awesome game!
Haplo, I got Amiga Bill addicted to your game hahaha https://www.twitch.tv/amigabill
Thanks, this was most entertaining!
Excellent AMIGA-Version. A friend of mine played it. We love it! 😉🕹️
yea this is quite something, i have to wonder if the levels are a.i. generated or some people actually got around a table and wrecked their brains to make up interesting puzzles
The latter...
that makes it even more amazing, you seem to have a thing for monochrome off-the-track puzzlers ... im looking forward to more, thanks for all the work
Thank you. A third of the puzzles were from Antony Lavelle, the rest were designed by me.
thats good to see in this day and age, thanks for the great game
Hi! Great conversion and greatg game in general... no Plus/4 version of this? ;-)
Jokes aside, are you planning to port it to any other retro-platform?
Yes, that's the intention. Let's see!
The Amiga port is amazing.
I guess the access to the secret level can be found in level 26 (that was too easy). However, I didn't feel like re-recording the video from there, so here's my longplay without the secret level.
Update: It is not on level 26. If anyone wants to know the solution, it is in the comments on my video.
Very good game. I also added it to my new "Gameplay of New C64 Games from May 2024" video.
Just finished it. Last level was evil! A great game from the start to the beginning. I did not find the access to the bonus level, too bad :(
