About
Blackshift is an action puzzle game with over 100 carefully crafted levels full of mysteries and danger.
New items and mechanics are introduced steadily throughout the entire game, with almost every level containing something you haven't seen before.
Secrets and hidden paths abound; if you stray from the main path and thoroughly investigate, there are hidden things to discover on each level, as well as secret levels to find.
I've played a lot of puzzle games before, but it's been a very long time since I've been this enthralled by one! — Jasmine_Steel
I could not think of a better puzzle game. — dr omsk
If you like solving mazes with different mechanics, this is for you! It's challenging enough to keep you thinking, and with new mechanics the further in you go, it doesn't get stale. — Ashman The Guy
A true hidden gem. — randomized0000
As far as Chip's Challenge like puzzle games go, Blackshift is probably the strongest one I've played. — Asp
If you've never heard of it, but like puzzle/platformers, this is one of the best. — peterbres
I had so much fun playing this, feels like it was made for me. Uncountable mechanics, surprises, secrets, different ways to play. — Novato Zotto
Best puzzle game on Steam! — Ubu

Make your own levels with the built-in level editor, and upload them to the Level Pit where other people can play them. There are thousands of user-created levels in the Pit, each with its own leaderboard. You can even watch replays of other people playing your levels. The Editor and the Pit are both built into the game; you can do everything from within Blackshift itself.

An excellent puzzle game that everyone should play
Sci fi chip's challenge but with more possibilities and 3D graphics.
A great Chip's Challenge-like (but holds up). Kind of what you want a game like that (grid-based puzzle game with tools that you pick up) to actually to be (in terms of design/difficulty/etc) to a puzzle game liker. There are a decent amount of secrets, too, and there are QoL tools within the game that make finding them not a frustrating task.

非常有意思的游戏! 很喜欢那个单向板的设计! 有一个挺好用的关卡编辑器,而且可以放置的物体是随着游戏进程逐步添加的,倒不用担心被编辑器剧透
This game is cool! there are a lot of puzzles and other staff. Sometimes lagging a bit and crash the game, but the game itself is very good. The pits are barriers so you can't fall into it. Enemies are allowed to walk on it. The plasma balls are difficult to found and there are a lot of locked doors.
어릴 때 윈도우 설치 버전으로 즐겼던 추억의 게임이 스팀에 나왔다길래 바로 주저없이 구매해서 지금까지 생각날 때마다 하고 있음. 그땐 진짜 별의 별 방법으로 맵 만들어서 했는데, 지금은 그 때 처럼 하기는 힘든 것 같다. 어릴 때의 난 뭔 생각으로 그런 기괴한 맵을 만들면서 놀았던 걸까... 아무튼 이 게임은 무려 100단계 까지 있다. 퍼즐 좋아하는 사람이라면 100단계 까지 도전해보길 바란다. 참고로 Level Pit 이거는 창작마당 비스무리한 거다. 다른 플레이어들이 만든 맵을 직접 해볼 수도 있고, 자기가 직접 맵 만들어서 올릴 수도 있다. 물론 슈퍼마리오 메이커처럼 자기가 그 맵을 깰 수 있어야 맵을 올릴 수 있다. 전작에는 BGM도 없고 치명적인 버그도 있었던 2D 퍼즐 게임인데, BGM 없으면 지루한 걸 개발자도 아는 듯, 이 스팀판에는 BGM이 있다. 그리고 이건 전작과는 다르게 3D라는 점이 매력적이다. 그리고 무엇보다 이 게임 사운드트랙이 듣기 좋은데, 특히 메인 메뉴의 곡이 제일 신나서 좋다! [spoiler]허허 이것 참 ㅎㅎ[/spoiler] 그리고 게임 시작할 때 나오는 BGM들은 어째서인지 집중하기 딱 좋은 곡처럼 느껴진다. 다른 사람들은 어떤지 모르겠는데 적어도 난 마음에 든다. OST 따로 DLC 안 주려나?
Absolutely brilliant! I used to play the first 2005 blackshift and for the longest time i couldn't remember the name. Many times I googled trying to find it, then one day I did find the original game. After playing it and enjoying myself tremendously, I found out that the creator, Robin Allen of Foon made this revamped gem. I had so much fun playing this, feels like it was made for me. Uncountable mechanics, surprises, secrets, different ways to play. Also it was amazingly challenging sometimes. Just thank you, this made me immensely happy. This deserves much more recognition. I wish a famous gamer would get wind of this. All the best. Looking forward for the next games you make!
アクションとパズルの配合が半分ずつな感じで、どちらにも偏りすぎておらずよいバランスだと思う。 ステージクリア型のゲームなので隙間時間に少しずつ進められる。 「R」ボタンで直ぐにステージの最初に戻せるしretryも簡単。 [b][u]※100面以上もある[/u][/b]のに1000円くらいだからそれもお薦め要因。 ※100の公式レベルに加えて、世界中のプレーヤーによって作成された数百のレベルを備えています。 <<開発へ要望>> クリアしたステージでなおかつシリコン未取得のステージは視認しやすいように点滅表示にするとかして欲しい。現状ではステージ未クリアの赤表示とステージクリア済の青表示しかない。 When there is a Silicon left in cleared level ,plz make a mark on map blinked not to take the trouble to check whether Silicon is still there or not. Currently only blue and red color exist.
If you love puzzles, then this is the game. Also, pretty much keyboard actions.
