Sprunki Anti-Shifted came out in 2024 from a small indie team. It’s basically an arcade challenge game where the screen keeps shifting and you have to react fast to survive. It looks simple at first, but the more you play the more it throws you off.
The controls are easy: just tap or click to shift into the right spot. That’s it. But because it speeds up the longer you last, it’s not about knowing what button to press, it’s about pressing it at the exact right time.
It gets hard because the screen starts to mess with your rhythm. The patterns keep moving faster, and sometimes they don’t match up with what your brain expects. You’ll feel like you had it and then suddenly you’re out. It’s one of those games where a tiny mistake costs the whole run.
If you like this kind of thing, check out Dandy’s World Pyramixed Edition or Scrunkly REVAMP. They have the same fast reaction, “just one more try” feel.
