ShiftTrap

Overview

After a freak laboratory accident, ninja-in-training Nina finds herself trapped in an alternate dimension where the walls shift each time she jumps. Now she must collect the scattered gears to fix this shattered world and escape! But with 32 challenging stages to outwit, that will be no easy task...

SHIFTTRAP is a puzzle-platformer with a focus on fast gameplay and a novel mechanic-- each time you press the jump button, the walls will shift between the foreground and background! you can also cling to walls and jump off of them to reach greater heights. Some of these puzzles are really tricky so good luck!

On February 24, 2025, JustDanPatrick released SHIFTTRAP - Enhanced which added some quality of life improvements such as redone audio, a difficulty toggle, longer hour glass duration, and 3 punishing levels were tweaked to smooth the difficulty curve.
