TideShift: Pixel Platformer

TideShift: Pixel Platformer is a free pixel-art platformer where swimming is something you earn. Run, double jump and wade through the shallows, find the hidden red SWIM switch, then dive back for the stars that wading can't reach.

THE BIG IDEA

Every level starts without swimming. Explore, find the SWIM switch, and swimming unlocks for the rest of that level. Float, dive and stroke through pools to collect stars under the surface and reach the exit door.

500 LEVELS IN 10 WORLDS

• Shallows, Coral Gardens, Kelp Forest, Sunken Ruins, Twilight Zone, Frozen Depths, Storm Reef, Amber Caves, The Abyss and TideShift Core
• 50 levels in every world that get harder as you go
• 3 optional stars in every level, with your best score saved
• Underwater steps in every wide pool, so you never get stuck

TIGHT CONTROLS

• Jump and double jump
• Wade slowly in water, and swim once you find the switch
• Two-thumb touch controls in landscape, which you can turn off in Settings

MEET THE LOCALS

• Crabs patrol the ground. Stomp them from above!
• Fish hunt you in the water. Swim smart.
• Birds glide overhead. Land on their backs.
• Hawks shake and show a red warning before they dive. Keep moving!

PIXEL ART AND CHIPTUNE SOUND

Retro night-sea visuals, an 8-bit soundtrack that softens underwater, and fun sound effects. Music and sound effects can be switched off in Settings.
