Hello, and welcome to the world of Shift Cooking!

Shift de Cuisine is a cooking themed falling block action puzzle arcade game, where you form matching lines of falling ingredient blocks by shifting the rows and columns of the play space. The shifts wrap around, so ingredients far on this side in the pot will shift onto that side! Match more blocks and set up chain reactions to score big! You'll need sharp wit and fast action to survive in the shifty kitchen and become the greatest in the culinary art of Shift Cooking!

This initial jam version of the game features Chef Francesca, a talented Italian Shift Chef who specializes in pasta, particularly spaghetti. Please don't mind her... stiffness... at the moment. With the rush to have everything look presentable for the grand opening, we were rather pressed for time and haven't prepared everything we'd like, so she's feeling rather unemotive right now. But don't worry! We have plans to continue renovations and add additional features, and I'm sure by then she'll be feeling a lot more animated! But until then, Francesca will accompany you in Marathon mode, internally cheering you on as you try to survive as long as you can as more and more ingredients rise into the pot. What we have here is merely a taste of what we hope is yet to come, so we hope you enjoy what is on offer regardless.
