There's an overarching sense within the gaming community that stealth gameplay automatically equals slow gameplay. While that's not 100% true in every single case, it is certainly a trope and one that Publisher tinyBuild intends to change with their new game, Mr. Shifty.
Mr. Shifty does away with shadows, security guard patterns, and needlessly complicated equipment that you probably won't even use. Your player character, Mr. Shifty can get in and out of any building or bunker he wants with brute force and the power of teleportation. The game features fast top-down action-packed gameplay that is reminiscent of games like Hotline Miami so fans of the genre should find plenty to like here.
Mr. Shifty is the debut title of a small development team aptly named, Team Shifty; a tiny group of four developers hailing from Brisbane, Australia. TinyBuild has published two other indie favorites this year in DoubleDutch Games' SpeedRunners and Lazy Bear Games' Punch Club.
