Mr. Shifty

Mr. Shifty:




The mega plutonium has been stolen and well-guarded in the impenetrable Olympus Tower by its owner Chairman Stone and his goons. We need the best person to break into this facility and recover the plutonium and we need it fast! The only name that I have in mind is Mr. Shifty and his brilliant operator, Nyx. Give me the phone - I need to make a swift call to Mr. Shifty!

--- I did not have a history with Top-Down Shooters (also known as Twin Stick Shooters) until Hotline Miami. Since then I have started to enjoy them more, especially with Nuclear Throne. I usually saw them as cheap little games that had very little to offer, but those aforementioned games and a few others (Enter The Gungeon) have put them back on the map. However, those heavy-hitters are already so good that one might find it difficult to break some new ground. And yet, Mr. Shifty comes and seduces with a mechanic that just feels perfectly at home with this viewpoint: a “blink” or “teleport” ability, that you might know from Dishonored’s Corvo, X-Men’s Nightcrawler or a few MOBAs that borrow it from WarCraft III’s Warden hero. *– [Real player with 7.3 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197979741653)* ---
