About

Shiftlings is the universally (and we mean that literally) popular hyper-show that has our two tenacious tech’s bravely battle blunders and booboos through the most zany and exotic locales of the known universe. Shift work at its best. Jump into the thick of things and take control of either (or both) of our state of the art custodial clones and jump, push, puzzle, and giggle-snort your way through over 50 levels of shenanigans and insanity through five gorgeous, quirky, and hilariously narrated worlds. Come make new friends (or dispose of old ones). Accidentally conjoined but happily inseparable, team work and mayhem are the only way to get the job done on Shiftlings as you shift the bulk between the two characters to solve mind-boggling puzzles and death-defying traps.
