My name is Cameron White, known to the GameFAQs boards as Tidus9554 and under the contributor name Zelikman. This is my strategy guide for the iPhone game :Shift:, published by Armor Games and developed for the iPhone by Antony Lavelle. This game is an adaptation of the original :Shift: Flash game available on Armor Games's website, armorgames.com. Let's get cracking! +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | Copyright Notice {11} | +_______________________+ This file is Copyright (c)2009-2012 by Cameron White. All rights reserved.

Probably the last, too. Everything you need to complete the game is here. Version 1.1: Minor of all updates; I've confirmed that there is no difference between the iPhone and iPod Touch versions. Same game, same 40 levels. THE REAL VERSION 1.1. UPDATE is now done, to coincide with the release of Shift for iPhone version 1.1. I've overhauled the search function and added walkthroughs for all the new levels. Version 1.12: Updating the copyright to ensure maximum protection. Will re-visit this game to see if new updates are needed. (My goodness, this guide is ugly. What was I thinking?) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | | | GAME BASICS {20} | | | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ This section will cover some of the basics needed to play the game. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | Controls {21} | +_______________________+ All of your controls are on-screen. The Left and Right Arrows move your guy left and right, obviously. While moving in one direction, the other arrow becomes your Jump button; if you'd like to jump while standing still, just tap the screen once. There are three different ways for you to Shift (that is, to switch from black to white and vice versa) in this iPhone version of the game. Two methods involve using the accelerometer - you can flip your iPhone side-to-side or top-to-bottom to Shift. The third option is to include a button in the upper- right and upper-left corners of the screen that says "Shift" - push either button to Shift from black to white and vice versa. This Shifting mechanism is key to solving the puzzles in this game. Finally, double-tap the screen to open the Options menu. Here you can Resume, Quit, turn on/off the Music, and change your Shift method. If you're curious, I don't really trust the accelerometer in the iPhone/iPod Touch, so I prefer the button method. It doesn't really matter, though - it's mostly personal preference how you choose to Shift, as long as you can do so quickly and comfortably. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | Hazards {22} | +_______________________+ There are only two kinds of hazards in this game: Stationary and Moving Spikes. Stationary Spikes will usually be found in various pits throughout the game. Falling on these will instantly kill you, and you'll have to start the whole level over again. Moving Spikes can only be found on certain levels. Shortly after you start the level, they will come forward from one of the four sides of the screen, instantly killing you if they make contact. On these levels, you will have to move quickly if you want to survive and make it to the door without dying. I will denote these spike levels with an asterisk (*). There are two other things worth mentioning in the stages: keys and platforms. In most stages, you will have to collect some keys in order to make platforms move, allowing you to reach the door. I've written this guide in a very linear fashion, but in most cases it should be pretty obvious how to get a key or how to get to the door. If you're having trouble (and you aren't playing a spike level), stop moving for a moment and examine the board (both upside-down and not upside-down) and try to trace a path from where you are to where you need to get to. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | Timer {23} | +_______________________+ At some point, the game will inform you that you are being timed. The timer counts in seconds, but will not always be visible. The reason for this timer is that the game was built to be completed quickly; the faster your time, the more "elite" you are. It is NOT a countdown timer, so don't freak out if you think you have to finish the whole game quickly. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | | | WALKTHROUGH {30} | | | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ Believe it or not, this is the walkthrough section of the guide. Nifty, right? {A0} +===============+ \ \ / Level 1 / \ \ +===============+ Walk right to the door. {A1} +===============+ \ \ / Level 2 / \ \ +===============+ Head right, jumping over both pits, and enter the door. {A2} +===============+ \ \ / Level 3 / \ \ +===============+ Go right and jump over the two pits, then jump onto the higher ledge and jump left and upwards to the platform with the key on it. This will rotate the lower edge. Fall onto the ledge and enter the door. {A3} +===============+ \ \ / Level 4 / \ \ +===============+ Head right to the very bottom ledge, then Shift. Fall left into the hole, then Shift again. Jump over to the door and enter. {A4} +===============+ \ \ / Level 5 / \ \ +===============+ Head right and fall into the hole, then Shift. Head left across the key ledge, then Shift in front of the spikes. Jump over the spikes to the pit on the other side, then Shift. Fall left into the pit, then Shift again. Jump over to the black box platform and Shift to get the key. Now Shift back, fall right into the pit, and Shift again. Jump over the spikes and fall through the hole where the key ledge was onto the platform on the other side. Shift, jump over the pit to the door, then Shift to enter the door. {A5} +===============+ \ \ / Level 6 / \ \ +===============+ Start by Shifting, then follow the black path until you're right underneath the key. Shift, then fall left onto the black L-shaped box. Shift, jump up on top of the key, and Shift again to get the key. Now Shift, fall right, Shift, then jump up and fall through the hole the key ledge was blocking. Shift, fall left, then Shift again. Fall left to catch the second key. Shift again, fall left, Shift, then fall right and walk left into the door. {A6} +===============+ \ \ / Level 7 / \ \ +===============+ Shift, fall left, then walk right to grab the key at the end of the hall.

Shift and enter the door. {A7} +===============+ \ \ / Level 8* / \ \ +===============+ Run right, Shift, jump right across the gap, fall into the smaller gap, Shift, fall, Shift, run like hell to the end. {A8} +===============+ \ \ / Level 9 / \ \ +===============+ THE TIMER IS A LIE! Fall down the gap and get into the rightmost pit, then Shift. Jump left and grab the first key, then fall into the leftmost gap and Shift. Now head left to the hallway and grab the next key. You'll gain access to the lower-left corner. Land on top of the ledge where the final key is and Shift to get it. Get back to that lower-left gap and Shift, then jump across the small black box to the platform and run to the door. {A9} +===============+ \ \ / Level 10* / \ \ +===============+ Jump right across two pits, then Shift.

Shift to grab the first key, then Shift back and fall into the pit to get the second key. Shift, then fall into the pit and Shift again. Jump across the platform and Shift, then jump across the spikes and Shift to get the final key. Now make your way back to the original platform (the one you started on), and jump up on each of the ledges to the door. {B1} +===============+ \ \ / Level 12 / \ \ +===============+ Fall into the pit, then stand on the leftmost platform and Shift. Jump across and stand directly above the key, then Shift and grab the key by jumping. Now fall left and Shift, then fall down the pit to your right. Fall left and Shift. You'll be standing in front of the door. Jump left onto the ledge, then jump left and grab the key as you fall. Now make your way back to the door (the ledges will be in place but you can still Shift underneath them) and grab the final key that is unveiled to shift the other platform into place. Jump onto that platform, then onto the other ledges and enter the door. {B2} +===============+ \ \ / Level 13 / \ \ +===============+ Jump left, Shift, fall right, Shift again. Follow the game's instructions (jump across the first two ledges to the third, then Shift) and fall left. Shift, then fall left while howlding down Left in order to get onto the platform where the key is. Now repeat the game's instructions, fall left, Shift, then fall through the pit again, but this time hold Right. You'll land on the ledge with the door. {B3} +===============+ \ \ / Level 14 / \ \ +===============+ Head right - across the pit to the other platform - then Shift and grab the key. Shift back, then fall and hold Left to land on the lower ledge. Shift, then fall to the door. {B4} +===============+ \ \ / Level 15 / \ \ +===============+ Go right, fall into the pit, and Shift.

Jump left over the spikdes and Shift again. Fall right into the lowest pit, then Shift again. Fall left, but tap over to the right to land on the platform with the key inside; Shift to grab it. Shift back, then fall left and Shift again. Head left and fall to the door. {B7} +===============+ \ \ / Level 18 / \ \ +===============+ Grab the key immediately to your left. Shift, then fall through the giant pit to grab the next key. Shift, then jump to the door. {B8} +===============+ \ \ / Level 19 / \ \ +===============+ Shift, then fall into the pit and hold Left to land on the small ledge. Shift, then jump right to land on the bottom of the stage. Jump onto the black ledge and Shift, then fall right onto the door and Shift. Done! {B9} +===============+ \ \ / Level 20 / \ \ +===============+ Shift and grab the key. While standing where that key was, Shift again and jump over the pit to the right. Shift, fal linto the pit, Shift again, and fall to the next key. Shift again, then fall into the pit and Shift. Head left and fall through the pit, then Shift. Move right, past the barrier, and Shift again, then do the same (Shift and walk past the barrier) for the bottom barrier. Enter the door. {C0} +===============+ \ \ / Level 21 / \ \ +===============+ Grab the key as you fall; you'll land on the ledge it activates, but hold Right so you don't fall into the spikes. Shift, fall left onto the platform, then Shift again. Jump and grab the key, then hold Right to land on the ledge and enter the door. {C1} +===============+ \ \ / Level 22 / \ \ +===============+ Start by Shifting, then fall right into the pit and Shift again. Jump across the large gap and Shift. Fall left to the bottom fo the stage, then jump onto the lower white platform and Shift. Fall right and shift to grab the key. Fall and hold Right to land on the straight white platform at bottom-center, then land on the raised white platform to your right and Shift. Fall left, then jump onto the activated ledge and grab the other key. Jump back to the starting platform, Shift, fall right, Shift, jump across the large gap, Shift, go left to the lower white platform, Shift, fall right, Shift, enter the door. {C2} +===============+ \ \ / Level 23 / \ \ +===============+ Shift, then fall all the way down the left side of the screen. Get into the middle black notch at the bottom-left of the screen and Shift. Jump up onto the ledge to the left and grab the first key. Fall back to the starting platform and Shift again, but this time use the newly activated ledge to grab the key floating in the corner. This will open a new pathway to your right, so go and fall through to grab the final key. Fall to the bottom of the screen, get on top of the door and Shift. {C3} +===============+ \ \ / Level 24* / \ \ +===============+ First jump right onto the upper ledge and grab the first key, then fall into the pit, Shift, jump across to the white block, Shift and grab the second key. Shift, fall into the pit, Shift back to the original platform, then jump onto the upper ledge and fall while holding Left to land on the platform safely. Walk left to the door. {C4} +===============+ \ \ / Level 25* / \ \ +===============+ Walk left and grab the key. Fall through the hole, then fall left and hold Right to land on the lower platform next to the spikes in the lower-left. Shift, fall onto the white block, Shift to grab the key, then Shift back. Fall, Shift, then jump across the pit to the door. {C5} +===============+ \ \ / Level 26* / \ \ +===============+ Jump across the two platforms to the first key, then fall and Shift. Do the same to get the second key. When you land after grabbing the second key (you'll have to fall through the pit to grab it), you will then be able to Shift back to the original platform. The two ledges will now be active, so jump up and to the right to get to the door. (Alternatively, you can grab the key in the black area first, then quickly leap across the ledges to the other key. It's much more difficult to get back to the original platform doing this, though, because by the time you grab the second key, the spikes will already be coming. Pick your poison.) {C6} +===============+ \ \ / Level 27 / \ \ +===============+ Head right and Shift, then fall into the pit and Shift again. Jump left across the platforms and Shift to grab the key. Shift back, then fall all the way to the bottom of the screen. Jump onto the black ledge and Shift, then head left and grab the next key. Shift again, then head left and onto the small black platform now open to you. Shift, then fall and grab the final key stuck between the two ledges. Fall to the bottom, then Shift. Jump down and Shift again, then jump onto the ledge and enter the door. {C7} +===============+ \ \ / Level 28 / \ \ +===============+ Shift, fall left, Shift, fall left to grab the first key. Shift, fall left, Shift, then jump right onto the platform and Shift. Grab the key to your left (get out of the way quick, the ledge is swinging toward you!) then head back right and Shift. Fall down the pit and enter the white notch at bottom-center, then Shift. Jump left onto the platform, then fall left and Shift. Fall left to open up the lower-left corner, then Shift again, fall to the bottom and Shift once more. Fall down and head left to grab the last key, then jump back up to the white notch and Shift again. Jump left onto the platform again, fall left and Shift. Fall right onto the ledge and head left to the door. {C8} +===============+ \ \ / Level 29 / \ \ +===============+ Jump up the steps, then jump onto the black platform where two keys are. Shift and get those keys, then Shift again. Go all the way to the lower-left corner and grab the key, then jump back up to the highest black platform you can reach and Shift. Fall into the deepest pit on your left, then Shift again. Jump left onto the small black platform and Shift, then fall right into the deepest pit again and Shift. Jump left onto the platform and into the door. {C9} +===============+ \ \ / Level 30 / \ \ +===============+ Jump right to the very right of the screen (the deeper of the pits on the right side of the screen) and Shift. Jump right and grab the key, then fall into the deepest pit and Shift. Fall to the bottom of the screen and Shift, then head right andf all onto the small white box with the key. Shift, grab the key, and Shift again. Fall, then Shift. Fall to the bottom of the screen again, then jump right onto the ledge and into the door. {D0} +===============+ \ \ / Level 31 / \ \ +===============+ Jump right across two sets of spikes to the raised black platform and Shift. Fall left, head into the small notch to your right, and Shift. Jump left across the spikes, then jump left and grab the key on your way down to the starting platform. Jump across the spikes and Shift again, then fall all the way down the pit and Shift. Head left across the pit, then Shift, fall into the pit, and Shift again to grab the key. Now fall back to the starting platform, Shift, and enter the door. {D1} +===============+ \ \ / Level 32 / \ \ +===============+ Head right, grab the first key, then Shift and grab the second key. Jump across the pit of spikes, then fall and hold Left to land on the lower black platform in the lower-right. Now it's just a matter of falling into the pits and Shifting until you reach the door. Don't let the red letters saying "YOU SHOULD HURRY UP!" worry you - no spikes on this level. {D2} +===============+ \ \ / Level 33 / \ \ +===============+ Head right across the ledge, then Shift. Jump left across the pit of spikes, then Shift and grab the first key. Shift again, jump across the spikes, then Shift and fall into the black ledge below you. Shift, then jump left and grab the key. Fall and jump across the spikes again (or if you feel daring, just fall into the notch just past the spikes) and Shift, then fall left and into the lower pit below. Shift, jump right across the spikes, then Shift and fall left to the bottom of the screen. Run right and grab the key, then Shift, fall back over the spikes into the notch again, Shift, then fall left onto the left-center ledge. Jump across the spikes and enter the door. {D3} +===============+ \ \ / Level 34 / \ \ +===============+ Head left onto the black ledge and Shift. Jump on top of the key to your right and Shift to grab the key. Shift back, then fall to the bottom and Shift. Jump right and land on top of the key, then Shift to grab the key. Fall left and Shift again, then jump left to the black ledge again and Shift. Fall to the bottom and Shift again, then fall down the left side of the screen while avoiding the spikes. At the bottom, Shift, then jump over the large gap again to where you originally landed on top of the second key. Now jump up to the door. {D4} +===============+ \ \ / Level 35 / \ \ +===============+ Jump up and to the right, then Shift. Jump across the spikes to the platform where the black spikes are, then fall left and Shift. Fall to the right and hold Left to land on the platform below, then grab the key. Shift, fall right, jump across the spikes again, and Shift at the bottom of the pit again. Jump left into the platform where the swinging platform was originally blocking, then jump up and left to the door. {D5} +===============+ \ \ / Level 36 / \ \ +===============+ Jump right across the pit, then run right and jump over the spikes to the lower-right corner. Shift and grab the key, then Shift back and jump over the spikes again. Shift, follow the black path to the end, then Shift again. Fall through the first pit and grab the key. Shift on the little black ledge, then fall right and Shift again. You'll be back on the starting platform. Go back to the lower-right corner and Shift, then fall all the way left and Shift again. Jump left onto the platform, then onto the black ledge and Shift. Fall right and Shift again. Jump right over to the upper-right corner and Shift, then jump on the white box and Shift to grab the key. Shift, fall, Shift, then jump left to the spikes and Shift. (Alternatively, you can land on the small black ledge next to the key ledge and Shift, then fall.) Jump across the spikes and Shift, then jump left to the door and Shift. {D6} +===============+ \ \ / Level 37 / \ \ +===============+ This one is very tricky. Go right and grab the first key (I recommend jumping to it, it will make your landing much easier), then grab the second key and struggle to stay on the key ledge as it swings upward. (There's no easy way to do this, trust me. Just keep trying and you'll eventually be able to stay on top of the ledge.) Once you're on top of the ledge, jump left to the platform and Shift. Fall right onto the key ledge, then jump left to grab the final key. Shift, fall right, and jump up to the door. {D7} +===============+ \ \ / Level 38* / \ \ +===============+ Fall, Shift, fall, Shift, fall, Shift, fall, Shift! Land on each small ledge and Shift to quickly make your way to the door. {D8} +===============+ \ \ / Level 39 / \ \ +===============+ Fall right off the platform, but tap left so you don't fall into the spikes and fall into the pit directly below you. Shift, jump across the pit to the next platform, then go left and fall down the pit to the left. Shift, then fall left but, again, tap right to avoid falling into the spikes and land on solid ground instead. Shift, fall into the pit directly above the door, and Shift to enter the door. {D9} +===============+ \ \ / Level 40 / \ \ +===============+ Start by Shifting, then fall left into the lower right box and Shift. Move over to the box on the right and Shift. Jump onto the platform to your left and Shift again, then fall right and Shift to grab the key. Now make your way back to the starting platform. This time, Shift, then jump onto the ledge that was just opened up to you. Fall into the central pit and grab the key on your way down. Retrace your steps back to the beginning of the level once more, and jump across the ledges to the door. Shift to enter the door. {E0} +===============+ \ \ / Level 41 / \ \ +===============+ Jump right onto the platform, then Shift. Fall left but tap right to land on solid ground, then Shift. Jump over the spikes to the ledge below (a running start helps), then jump up to the ledge on the right and Shift. Fall left into the pit and Shift again, then jump up and to the left to the nearby ledge and Shift again. Fall right and follow the path to the key, jump to get the key, then head back left and enter the lower notch. Shift, then fall to the bottom of the screen and head right to enter the door. {E1} +===============+ \ \ / Level 42 / \ \ +===============+ Jump onto the black platform to the right and Shift. Head left past the barrier, and Shift. Now jump onto the barrier to your right, then onto the upper ledge. Shift, fall left, then head right and jump onto the white ledge. Shift again, then head left. Fall into the key, but tap over to the right to avoid landing on spikes and land on the original platform. Now Shift, go past the barrier, Shift again, and jump up to the upper ledge again. This time, jump across each of the black box platforms and jump up to the key hovering above. A third key will be uncovered; grab it. Now, back on the original black platform, Shift, fall left, jump onto the white platform, Shift, and walk into the door. {E2} +===============+ \ \ / Level 43 / \ \ +===============+ Jump right twice to get on the ledge with the spikes, then Shift. Jump over the spikes and grab the key. Jump back over the spikes and Shift again, then jump onto the barrier and then onto the black ledge on your left. Shift, fall right, then head left and climb to the upper white ledge. Shift, fall onto the black platform, and Shift to grab the key. Shift, jump back across the spikes, then get back onto the black ledge next to the key barrier. Shift, fall right, get onto the upper white ledge and Shift. Jump up and to the right to the door, then Shift to enter the door. {E3} +===============+ \ \ / Level 44 / \ \ +===============+ Shift, jump onto the ledge to the left, and Shift again. Fall right and Shift, then fall left and Shift. Fall right and land on the lower ledge next to the spikes at the bottom, then Shift. Fall left and Shift, then fall right and Shift again to enter the door. {E4} +===============+ \ \ / Level 45 / \ \ +===============+ Jump right across two sets of spikes, then fall right and Shift. Jump right across the spikes you just crossed, then Shift next to the second set of spikes. Fall left onto the small black ledge, then jump right over two sets of spikes. Shift, fall left, and Shift again. Fall right and head left into the door. {E5} +===============+ \ \ / Level 46 / \ \ +===============+ Fall right but tap left to land on the black ledge next to the key barrier. Shift, jump onto the upper ledge to the right, then fall right and grab the first key. Shift to return to the starting platform, then fall right and tap left again to get back to the key barrier ledge. This time, jump up and grab the key, then make your way back to the starting platform again. Now jump across the pit to the right, then fall onto the key barrier. Head left onto solid ground and Shift. Fall right to grab the key, then Shift. Fall into the spot where the key barrier was previously guarding, then Shift. Fall left, then Shift to enter the door. {E6} +===============+ \ \ / Level 47 / \ \ +===============+ Jump up to the highest black ledge you can, then Shift and head left to grab the first key. Standing where the first key was, Shift, then fall right and grab the second key. Shift to grab the next key, then fall right and Shift again. Jump onto the key ledge to the right, then leap left and grab the key atop the vertical key barrier. While still standing on that key barrier, jump right onto the ledge with the door and enter the door. {E7} +===============+ \ \ / Level 48 / \ \ +===============+ Start by jumping right onto the ledge, then Shift. Jump left across the spikes (you'll have to walk on air for a split second before jumping), then Shift again. Jump over the spikes to the right, then fall right and Shift. Jump up and to the right to the upper ledge, then Shift. Jump left across the pit of spikes, then Shift. Jump up and to the right to the upper right ledge, then jump up and to the left to the upper left ledge. Jump across the spikes and land on the upper left ledge, then Shift. Fall right, Shift, then jump up and to the left to the ledge with the door in it. Shift, then enter the door. {E8} +===============+ \ \ / Level 49 / \ \ +===============+ Shift, fall left, then Shift again. Jump right and land on the ledge to the left of the spikes near where the key is. Shift to grab the key, then jump over the spikes to the left and land next to the key barrier. Shift, then jump onto the key barrier and leap to the right to grab the key. You'll fall right and land in the doorway. {E9} +===============+ \ \ / Level 50* / \ \ +===============+ Quickly head left and grab the first key, then fall onto the key barrier and grab the second key (I'd recommend waiting for a split second, but don't dawdle - the spikes are looming!). Jump left into the white box, then Shift and fall right to grab the final key. Shift, then fall left onto the key barrier and enter the door. {F0} +===============+ \ \ / Level 51 / \ \ +===============+ Fall right, Shift, then jump left across the pit of spikes and fall left. Shift to grab the first key, then fall left, Shift, jump back across the spikes, fall right, and Shift. Leap of faith - jump right and grab the key, but keep pushing Right or you'll fall into the spikes! If you manage it, you'll land in the center pit. Shift, fall left, Shift again, then jump right onto the key barrier to grab the final key. Now jump right onto the key barrier where the door is to enter the door. {F1} +===============+ \ \ / Level 52 / \ \ +===============+ Head left across the ledge, then Shift. Fall right and follow the path to the key. Now Shift, then fall through the pit the barrier was covering and push left to fall onto the floor, away from the spikes and key barrier. Go all the way left and grab the key, then head back right, jump onto the first key barrier, then jump across the spikes to the second key barrier. Jump up to grab both keys. Now jump left back across the spikes to the raised key barrier, then jump left onto the new ledge. Now get onto the black ground and Shift. Fall right and Shift to enter the door. {F2} +===============+ \ \ / Level 53* / \ \ +===============+ Jump right and Shift, then QUICKLY head left and grab the key. Jump back to the upper right white ledge, then Shift. Fall onto the key ledge where the key is, then jump across the spikes to the second key when the next key ledge appears. Jump right onto the final key ledge and enter the door. CAUTION: the key ledges are very small. Once you land on it properly, DON'T ADJUST. You WILL fall off and into the spikes. Be quick, but accurate. This is definitely one of the hardest Shift puzzles in existence. {F3} +===============+ \ \ / Level 54 / \ \ +===============+ Walk right into the door. {F4} +===============+ \ \ / Level 55 / \ \ +===============+ Approach the trophy. You will fall into a hole and be skewered by spikes. Congratulations, you've finished the game! +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | | | CONCLUSION {40} | | | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ | Contact Info {41} | +_______________________+ AOL Instant Messenger: KhazarianPrince OR SpikeDMS Yahoo!
