- Fixes for Shift Quantum - 23 January 2026
Hey Shifters, it’s been a while!Some of you recently reported issues when launching or playing Shift Quantum, especially related to connectivity or offline play, sometimes resulting in crashes. While working on our other projects, we took the time to revisit the game and release an update to address those problems. Because the game has been out for quite some time now, a few libraries and third-party services we were relying on are no longer supported. One of the biggest impacts of this is the Community tab, which hosted all the levels created by players. Unfortunately, there was no simple or safe way to restore that service, and the content hosted there is sadly gone for good. As a result, we decided to remove access to that part of the game to avoid further issues. On the bright side, we’re currently exploring the possibility of adding new extra levels to Shift Quantum in the coming m…

- FREE UPDATE: 3 new deadly blocks, 30 new levels, infinite hours of fun! - 12 November 2018
Hey Shifters, During the development of Shift Quantum, we had to cut on a few gameplay blocks that remained in our “nice to have” list. We really loved them, so we continued to work on a few after releasing the game. Three of them are now finished and available for free in game. All you have to do is to launch the game, select the new branch in the menu called “Traps” and enjoy 30 new levels specially created to showcase these new traps. We hope that you will enjoy them as much as we did and can’t wait to see the deadly levels you will create using them in the level editor. https://youtu.be/ipYx-CgDuvU Update Content Laser block Burner block Spiky movable block New menu section 30 new levels More search filters in the community tab Featured levels in the community tab Now tell us what’s your favorite gameplay block and what kind of block you imagine for the game?

- Learn more about the level editor with Mary from Axon Vertigo - 8 June 2018
Shift Your Imagination with Shift Quantum’s Level Editor We wanted Shift Quantum to be more than just a puzzle game, where we aim to draw you into the world, give you purpose and ask questions. Shift Quantum’s core creates perspective duality by inverting the world between black and white, but we wanted to deliver this conflicting two-sided existence beyond more than just the aesthetics. During development, we paid particular attention to the details; making it an interesting, rewarding and challenging experience. Shift Quantum’s Level Editor is not just a tool, it is part of the detail that brings the story to life. When you play Shift Quantum, you participate in the Axon Vertigo’s experience. When you use the Level Editor to create your own puzzle challenges, you are no longer as an experimental subject, instead, you put yourself into the shoes of an employee of Axon Vertigo creating…

- Phoenix Point will be playable at EGX Rezzed - 1 March 2018
Our corporate siblings who run EGX Rezzed go on about how it’s a games show with all sorts of video games to play and talks to hear , but in reality it’s a front. Rezzed exists because we believe you will pay money to breathe the same air as RPS staffers, getting some of our air inside you and some of yours in us, but both sides are too embarrassed to publicly acknowledge that. So sure, okay, let’s keep up the facade. For example: Rezzed today announced more of the games playable in London this April, including X-COM co-creator Jullian Gollop’s fine-looking grid ’em up Phoenix Point . (more…)
