Shiftex is a turn-based tactical puzzle game, crafted with deep respect for the golden era of 8-bit computing. Developed specifically for the ZX Spectrum 48K.

About the Game

In Shiftex, every move counts. You find yourself in a world of harsh logical challenges, where you must maneuver through diverse enemies, decipher level mechanics, and strategize your path to victory.

Features:

  • 29 Unique Levels: A journey from simple introductory stages to hardcore labyrinths that demand serious tactical planning.
  • Diverse Enemies: Each enemy type has its own distinct behavior pattern. Learn them to outsmart your opponents.
  • Pure Old-School: The game is written entirely in Standard Sinclair BASIC. No machine code hacks or external libraries—just pure 1980s-style coding.
  • Authentic Experience: Tested on real hardware (the "Robik" clone from Cherkasy). The graphics and sound evoke the true spirit of retro gaming.
