Mr. Shifty
Developer: Team Shifty
Publisher: tinyBuild
Release Date: April 13, 2017
Genres: Action, Adventure, Indie, Beat ’em up, Top-Down
Dive into the electrifying world of Mr. Shifty, a high-octane action game that blends stealth, strategy, and teleportation-fueled chaos. Developed by the talented Team Shifty and published by tinyBuild, this indie gem first launched on April 13, 2017, delivering a fresh twist on the beat ’em up and top-down genres. Available on Steam, Mr. Shifty invites players to step into the shoes of a cunning thief with a unique superpower, embarking on a daring heist that’s as thrilling as it is unpredictable.
In Mr. Shifty, you play as the titular character, a silent, badass protagonist tasked with infiltrating Olympus Tower—the world’s most secure facility—to steal a mysterious and dangerous weapon known as the “mega-plutonium.” Guided by your sharp-witted partner Nyx via radio, you’ll navigate a linear series of increasingly treacherous rooms filled with armed guards, deadly traps, and cunning foes. The game’s top-down perspective keeps the action fast and fluid, drawing comparisons to adrenaline-pumping classics like Hotline Miami and Superhot, while carving out its own identity with a slick teleportation mechanic.
Shifty’s signature ability is his power to “shift”—a short-range teleport that lets him zip through walls, dodge bullets, and outmaneuver enemies in the blink of an eye. With a limit of five shifts before a brief cooldown, mastering this mechanic is key to survival. One hit from an enemy’s shotgun, flamethrower, or rocket launcher—or a misstep into a laser or mine—means instant death, sending you back to the start of the room. But don’t rely on guns yourself; Shifty’s arsenal is all about melee mayhem and improvisation. Wield everything from fists to thrown vases, tridents, and even explosive mines to take down waves of goons in satisfying, close-quarters combat.
The gameplay is a delicate dance of skill and strategy. Shift through bullets to close the distance, toy with enemies as they fumble through doors, and use the environment to your advantage. Fill up your combat meter by chaining kills, and you’ll unlock “Slow-Mo”—a glorious moment where time crawls, shift recharges instantly, and you become an untouchable force of destruction. Each level is meticulously designed to test your reflexes and creativity, blending stealth and action into a seamless, heart-pounding experience.
Beyond the action, Mr. Shifty weaves a tongue-in-cheek story dripping with ’90s action movie vibes. Expect witty banter, unexpected twists, and a villainous Chairman Stone who’s equal parts menacing and charismatic. From the decoy plutonium trap to the explosive showdowns, the narrative keeps you hooked across its roughly 4-9 hour runtime, depending on your mastery of the game’s challenges.
With its comic book-inspired art style, pulse-pounding techno soundtrack, and addictive gameplay loop, Mr. Shifty stands out as a must-play indie title. Whether you’re teleporting through walls to outsmart group tactics or laughing as enemies fall into your traps, this game delivers a power fantasy that’s as empowering as it is entertaining. Join a group of industry veterans behind 21 games—from GameBoy Advance to Xbox 360—as they raise the bar for independent action adventures. Are you ready to shift into action?
