Link & Shift

Fast-paced tether arena combat where players build connections, power their tether, and defeat evolving bosses across handcrafted arenas.

How to Play??

1. Control two linked nodes connected by an energy tether. Enemies touching the tether take damage.

2. You control one node at a time, that is active node which can move, but is restricted by the tether connection. The other node is Anchor node, which stays at one place. 

3.You can switch between the nodes by "Space" key on keyboard or "A"(South key) on gamepad.

4. If enemies touch the player nodes(Anchor or Active) you get damage.

Tips

• Wrap the tether around pillars to extend attack paths
• Use Power Pillars to charge the tether and deal more damage
• Complete 2 waves + Boss to finish each level
• Choose upgrades after every level to strengthen your build

Goal: Complete all 5 levels and stabilize the connection network. 

The Story:-      

After a catastrophic system failure, two energy-based exploration bots find themselves stranded in a hostile environment. Their escape mission has failed, and only one of them has enough remaining energy to stay operational.

To survive, they establish an electromagnetic energy link between them — a fragile connection that keeps both units alive.

But there is a problem.

The energy transfer system can only power one bot at a time. While one unit moves, explores, and overcomes obstacles, the other must remain stationary, acting as the anchor that sustains the connection.

This link is more than a lifeline.

The electromagnetic wave disrupts hostile machines that cross its path, overloading their systems and eventually destroying them. Scattered across the world are transmission pillars that amplify the signal, extending the connection over greater distances.

Some pillars emit a dangerous red frequency boost, increasing the EM intensity and turning the link into a devastating weapon against enemy units.

In this broken world, survival depends on balance, positioning, and maintaining the bond between two machines that cannot survive alone.
