Reviews for "Shift: Freedom!"

lag and bugs

great except for the lag except if that happens i just refresh my page and i will have no lag for a few levels. but the bug that ticks me is in the first level of the rock solid category. while pushing the blocks my guy will randomly go though the block and teleport to an area where i cant get out or die. this also happens in some other levels and because of this i cant fully beat the game which sucks. i think it may be connected to the lag but i cant find a way past it and for that i give an 8/10.

Fun, but flawed

This is a really great game, but I did find a flaw (aside from the lag problem others have encountered) in the section of Chapter 4 called "Mindscrew 2". When I'd go to move the first white box across the thing that changes it to black, I'd sometimes disappear into the box and wind up at another part of the screen.

Other than that bug, everything is a lotta fun. Great music, easy controls, addicting gameplay. If that bugs were to be worked out, and the lag issue (though, it may be my computer) this definitely would be a 10.

lag and bugs

Aside from the horrific lag time, which resulted in the player dying multiple times, this causes controls to be unresponsive. Even with the pipe game or differences game, it was so lagging that I had to give up, even though I was doing well. I finally beat the main game, but not after suffering from lag related deaths countless times and repeated failed escapes due to same. How can you guys take a simple game like shift and screw it up so badly? It's like taking something as wonderful as a hamburger and insisting it have a million other things to it, and you end up with Applebee's: overflavored, overcooked, overrated. I can see why you had to offer this for free, because it must have really not sold, for the pure suck factor of the lag and minigames.
One big bug in the thing is that when you are pulling a block, for no apparent reason, you'll suddenly appear somewhere else on the board, same orientation, but you basically have to restart. As a result, I had to skip a few and come back. Then, once I did have my skips back, and I tried the minigames, the controls for the pipe game were unresponsive. Just for no reason, the thing would freeze up, but the counter would still clock down. I was already disappointed by Shift 4, with all its lags, but then this just breaks the mold for all time bad games. Understand, I played it and beat it, because it was fun and challenging, but the problems in game play make it so that I never want to do so again.
Simplify and streamline the code, so it plays easier, please.

Glitchy.

Good premise, but WAY too glitchy.

Liked it :)

I think that the characters are very cute.
Despite previous reviews, the game ran very smoothly (although I may have been playing after an update).
A problem I noticed was that when the character is pulling a box and backs into a wall, the character is "sucked" into the box with no way out. The player is then forced to reset the level.
Within the slider minigame, it took several clicks on the arrow for the piece to slide.
Otherwise, the game was good overall.
