Mr. Shifty
Stop sneaking through the shadows, stop monitoring security patterns and throw away the fancy toys. As an experienced thief and master of infiltration, Mr. Shifty can penetrate anywhere with the power of his fists... okay, teleporting helps. Mr. Shifty is a kung-fu fighting game about a teleporting thief that combines fast-paced top-down gameplay with the ferocity of '90s Hong Kong action cinema, coming to PC (Win/Mac), PS4 and Xbox One in 2017. Fight your way through 75 levels of heists, rescue missions, boss fights and dirty brawls. Outsmart your opponents by luring them into traps and making them shoot each other. Activate slow motion to dodge when the shots get too close, and watch out because one bullet is all it takes to take you down. Mr. Shifty is the debut of indie publisher tinyBuild GAMES, a group of four developers from Brisbane, Australia, who previously worked as a team at Halfbrick for over five years and have collectively published 21 games for consoles and handhelds.
Story
Mr. Shifty is a thief who can teleport short distances—he blinks through walls and slips past bursts of gunfire in the blink of an eye. Under the guidance of his contact, Nyx, via radio, he breaks into the Olympus Tower—StoneCorp’s heavily guarded headquarters—to steal a dangerous weapon before the sinister Chairman Stone can use it for malicious purposes. Fighting and dodging his way through one room after another filled with armed guards and deadly traps, Shifty ventures deeper and deeper into the tower to settle the score with Stone.
