About the Game
The two jello jelly creatures Bismo and Plom got connected in a tragic yet funny accident and thus can exchange their size and abilities at will. Welcome to the world of Shift Happens - the only game out there which doesn't take a closer look at the body mass index and where players are actually forced to work togehter (and occasionally stab each other in the back).
Experience thrilling adventures in four totally different worlds:
- Explore a freaked out laboratory where Bismo and Plom had their accident!
- Uncover the secrets of the overgrown green forests...
- ... and survive the dry canyons where a deadly wind awaits you...
- ... just to prepare you for the bitingly cold caves!
The twist: Shift Happens is pure fun for solo players, yet its full potential can only be experienced together. Play it with your best friend while hanging around on a couch enjoying a pizza. Together you can solve puzzles and fight over precious coins. Coordination and communication are key to a successful journey. We recommend using gamepads for maximum enjoyability™.
The game also features a singleplayer mode with different level content. Although the game is primarily meant to be played by two people, you can play the completely different singleplayer levels without another person.
The game features all the good things you should expect from a co-op platformer:
- Over 40 levels of handcrafted fun
- Local and online co-op gameplay
- Extra challenges/rewards in the levels for completionists and explorers
- More than 30 different levels designed for the singleplayer mode
- 8 unlockable bonuslevels (4 single- & 4 multiplayer)
- Achievements
- And timechallenges for each level

Almost four months have passed now and we have been quiet for a long time since the release of Shift Happens v1.0. To celebrate our first patch the game will be on discount for 20% for a week! :)
We were working on different other projects (contract work) but collected all the feedback in the forums and tried to squeeze in as much extra time as we could to improve Shift Happens.
We also felt that the hat feature we implemented was too hidden in the game to get recognized and so we changed it. Now you can simply select any hat in the lobby. You might also recognize some of your favourite youtubers amongst them:

Hey gals and boys! First off, a late happy new years to you all. All Klonkers have had their hard-earned vacations over christmas and new years and we are back in 2017 with fresh energy.
We are so very happy to tell you guys, that this will be the last patch before our final release. Everybody has been busy working on the game and finishing the last stage, the grotto!
Although the release date is still not exactly set in stone, we can definitely say it will be soon and launched for Steam, XBOX and PS4 aswell!
For everybody that has had the game on the wishlist for a while now and always waited for the full release, I'd like to tell you that we will raise the price for the full launch to 14,99$. This means, you should definitely get it now since it will be a little bit more expensive when fully released. And you'll get the same version anyways.
As a reminder, the game will fully feature the following content:

Hey girls and boy! First off, I owe you all an apology:
It has been so very quiet around the forums and the launch of Shift Happens and I am sorry for that!
For everyone that was wondering why the game still hasn't launched yet, I will try to clarify and give an insight into what's happening @Klonk Games lately.
Although we thought the launch would be this july we had to delay it to an - even for us - unknown date.
This was back in August, pre-gamescom and now it is November already. During this time a lot has happened for us, especially when it comes to marketing the game.
That said, our initial plan was to release Shift Happens on steam this july together with the XBOX One version simultaneously.
Now, speaking from a marketing point of view as a small developer, everybody you talk to regarding this issue will tell you that timing your launch means "everything". Simply said, your release date will have a big impact on how your game will eventually sell. Obviously there's a lot more to it than just the release date but it plays an important role anyways. Most importantly, releasing an indie game in Q4 (sept to december) is always a higher risk because around this time all the bigger companies are announcing and releasing their triple A titles. So chances are very low for your game to get picked up by press and therefore won’t get much attention or any at all. Of course, there might be exceptions but exceptions prove the rule, right?
With this in mind, we had lots of discussions and came to the conclusion that, since we didn't manage to get everything perfectly done for a launch in early august, we would have to delay the release even further.
Now you might obviously ask: "Well, if you had to delay the launch, why hasn't there been an update/patch on steam?"
One reason is staying alive. As mentioned a lot of times, we are constantly doing contract works to make ends meet and still be able to develop Shift Happens.
The other reason for this is that we had to switch yet again to a newer version of the engine we use, which is Unity 3D. From a game dev's point of view, having to switch to a newer version of your engine sometimes can mean re-doing a whole lot of work. In our case it meant playtesting (looking for old/new bugs) and lightbaking EVERYTHING again. Lightbaking is a procedure that takes a long time and a lot effort. Very simply put, lightbaking takes real time lighting from a scene and "bakes" it onto your objects so they look illuminated. This process comes with a lot of issues/bugs itself which means setting it up with parameters that work is a walk on a tightrope itself. Now having to re-do this with an updated lightbaking process means re-setting every parameter again to ensure the game looks still like before the engine update. That alone took us 2 months. Which brings me to my last point:
We have currently finalized light baking processes and bugs that came with the update of Unity. This patch is a bigger one due to the re-done lightmaps and will include a few bugfixes as well, but mostly minor things.
With all that explained, we are aiming for a simlaunch for early 2017 Q1 where we will launch on every platform Steam, XBOX One and PS4.
The full release will still feature the current game including:
I'd also like to encourage everyone to give feedback or ask questions if there are any!
Other than that I will make sure to update you more consistently on what is happening or if anything has changed for the release of the game. Believe me when I say there's nothing more that we want than to finally release our baby "Shift Happens”

- The story cutscenes, explaining Bismo and Plom's connection
- Bug fixes.
