About the game
Shift Memory is a pairs game that fights back. Each level starts with a quick look at every card, then they all flip face down and you tap two at a time to find matching symbols. Find every pair to clear the level.
The twist comes when you miss. Both cards you just flipped slide over and swap places with a random face-down neighbour, right in front of you, so the spot you memorised may no longer hold what you think. Each level gives you a limited number of hearts, and every miss costs one. Fifteen levels grow from a tiny 3 by 2 grid to 6 by 7, and you earn up to three stars for few misses, with streak bonuses for back-to-back matches.
