Sh!ft is a hybrid between a 15 puzzle and a match 3 game. It is simple yet addictive. The game challenges users with the skills of moving and matching colors. The free version provides basic movements and limited options. The paid version unlocks the full potential of all the game plays.

SCORE AND LEVELING:
- Player receives score when there are at least three same color blocks connected vertical, horizontal or diagonally. The more blocks match, the higher score player will get.
- User level is based on the score user received. High level will unlock special additional game features, such as more tiles, more color blocks and wild card block.
- When a game starts, no matching is performed so that player has an opportunity to match with more blocks during initial moves.
- Matching consideration only applies to those blocks that have been shifted, whether they are moved by tapping, swiping or falling to fill the removed blocks.
