Yet another forgotten underdog from a company famous for adventure games, this quirky little gem puts you in the role of assembly line operator who must fill a production quota (robots in this case) in each shift before time runs out. Night Shift puts a lot of spins on the idea, including robot parts that need to be assembled in the right order, various interesting machines, and great animations. Levels become more and more difficult as there are many more machinery that you must learn to operate, spanning multiple screens. This is made more frustrating by the fact that the manual is mum about most of the tools you’ll need to use. It’s a fun game that’s definitely not for the easily frustrated or reflex-impaired.
