Find a piece with a clear lane, tap it and watch it glide away. Tap the wrong one and it bumps into a neighbour, and a candle goes out. Keep one burning and clear the whole board to win.

Shiftwick is a casual little slider puzzle you can learn with a single tap and still be thinking about an hour later.

HOW IT PLAYS

One finger, one verb: tap. No timers, no dragging, no tutorial wall
Work out which piece is free, tap it, and slide it off the board
Cobwebs hold some pieces back: spend an extra tap to cut them
Clear pieces one after another and the sounds climb the scale into a little tune, with slow motion and confetti on the last piece
Three stars for a clean run, and a Perfect Clear when you win with no bump, no hint and no power-up

WHAT IS INSIDE

A campaign with no last level: boards grow from small to big and keep coming, and every level can be solved
A Daily puzzle that is the same for everyone, with a streak and a spoiler-free result card you can share
Optional leaderboards for the Daily and Endless play, a private Friends board, and Party contests with up to 8 friends
Seasons that change the whole game: Halloween in Crooked Hollow, and winter in Frostbound Hollow, each with its own look, music and sounds
Little hearses, pumpkin carts, coffin sleds, snowman carts and sleighs to slide away
Power-ups when you are stuck: Ghost Light shows a safe piece, Spare Candle adds a candle, Grave Shears cut every cobweb, Gourd Bash removes any piece
A Reduce effects switch for calmer play

FAIR AND FRIENDLY

Free to play, with a banner ad. Remove it for good with one small purchase
Any video ad is one you choose to watch, and the button says what it gives you first: relight your candles, double your candy, three more hints or a streak freeze
Small candy packs if you want them. Nothing in the game needs one
No timers that cost money, no loot boxes and no pop-up video ads
No account needed. Leaderboards are optional and use a made-up name you can change
Anonymous usage statistics are optional and stay off until you say yes

Tap gently. The hollow is watching. ## Rankings - #3,325,193 — Overall ## Similar extensions and apps - [Slidelock: Swipe Puzzle](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.luminous.slidelock) — 42 users - [Clear Path: Arrow Puzzle](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hiddenorder.puzzle_escape) — 13 users - [Ring Escape: Puzzle Game](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.FortuneMine.RingEscape) — 2,347 users, 4.85 / 5 - [SlidewayEscape](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.slidewayescapepine.routecove) - [SLIDE - Swipe.
