Summary
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.

Shiftlings Reviews & Ratings
It looks great and works fine, but the gameplay is tedious when playing solo. Might be fun in coop, you'll have to ask someone else about that.
Sierra is back. Not with a bang, but not with a whimper either. Shiftlings is a decent platformer that is best enjoyed with a puzzle minded friend.
From the opening cut scene through to the various platforming puzzles, Shiftlings feels like more than just a simple platformer with a gimmick. Instead of inserting a joke and then going about the level design like it never happened, here the joke is very integral part of the experience.
And interesting puzzle platform, despite the low difficulty level and a general lack of content. The cooperative mode really shines, offering an entirely new experience.
In the never-ending universe of puzzlers/platformers, Shiftlings has some interesting idea and an original twist, but some repetitive gameplay elements and a steep difficulty curve prevent the game from fulfilling its potential.
