Time for procrastination

Shift 01 and 02

2008-04-01T23:55:00.002+01:00

Shift is another favourite game of mine, because it makes you think laterally. You start walking around in the white space on the top of the black space. If you press SHIFT, the screen is reversed and you start walking in the black space on top of the white space. Confusing? just a little...

The link for the first version is here and to the second, with more tricks, here.
