Shift

Shift is a wonderful game I just discovered. As usual, the most marvelous and innovative games are Flash...
In Shift you play the part of a monochromatic man who runs in black and white labyrinths, trying to get to the exit. What sets the game aside from the rest is the ability to press Shift to turn the world upside down, and go where you couldn't before. If you're white you're walking on white blocks into black space, and vice versa (if you're black you stand on black and can move into white space).

The author, Antony Lavelle, has made three of them. I recommend playing the third first if you only want to give it a quick go, otherwise start from the first (they tend to repeat the first tutorial levels).

Shift 1
Shift 2
Shift 3

Amazingly, the second and third games also have a level editor! I love level editors!!
