Quantum Shift

1. Coloured orbs and spiked anti-matter drift in from the edges of the board. The Core sits in the middle.
2. Press and drag anywhere to open a gravity well. It bends the grid and pulls everything nearby toward your pointer.
3. Pull two orbs of the same colour into each other to fuse them. Orbs of different colours just bounce apart.
4. Each fusion sends out a shockwave that destroys any anti-matter it reaches, and repairs the Core a little.
5. Anti-matter homes in on the Core, and every hit knocks off 20% of its integrity. The game ends when the Core reaches 0%.

How does scoring work in Quantum Shift?

A fusion scores 10 points times your current chain. Fuse again within about two and a half seconds to grow the chain. Anti-matter destroyed by a shockwave adds 5 points each.

What happens when anti-matter touches an orb?

Both are destroyed and your chain resets. It costs you an orb, but it can save the Core in a pinch.

Does the gravity well pull anti-matter too?

Yes — it pulls everything. Use it to drag anti-matter away from the Core, or into the path of a fusion shockwave, but be careful not to pull it into your orbs.

Does Quantum Shift get harder?

Yes. Matter arrives faster over time, more of it is anti-matter, and a fourth orb colour joins after the first 40 seconds.

Is Quantum Shift free to play?

Yes. It's free in your browser on desktop or mobile — no login and no download. Your best score and longest chain are saved in your browser.
