Niche Shift
About Niche Shift
Dive into the Deep Blue! Niche Shift is a deceptively simple strategy puzzle that challenges you to build a thriving ocean ecosystem. It starts with a simple swipe: merge Plankton to create Krill, merge Krill to create Fish, and evolve your way up the food chain to the legendary Leviathan. But the ocean is a dangerous place. Play it free, right in your browser, whenever a few minutes open up.
How to play
In Niche Shift, your goal is to slide the tiles and merge matching numbers to build your way up to the 2048 tile. It plays with your mouse on desktop and a tap on touchscreens — no keyboard needed. A run can end quickly, but restarting costs you nothing but a click.
