Brain Warp

The player has to rotate the game in different directions so that the correct color is facing upwards.

[2] The spherical unit has six colored knobs – purple, red, green, white, orange and yellow – with numbers on them, and a blue base.

The voice calls out a color, a number, or both, depending on the game selected, and the player flips the unit so that the correct knob is facing upwards.

If the player responds incorrectly, the round is ended and the unit will make a raspberry sound.

The newer 2.0 version has a green arrow on the bottom of the brain warp logo on the purple knob.

Also, there was a bug in the older 1.0 version that lead to the voice and sound effects not in the right pitch against the music.

To access the test mode in Brain Warp, one must detach the yellow/six knob containing the batteries, move the yellow cover while holding the unit with the purple/one knob (1..0 with green arrow on bottom of logo or 2.0 with the blue arrow on bottom of logo) facing the upwards position, and then pressing the button.

[8] The game requires close attention, and teaches children to recognize and replicate patterns.

[11] The hype around the release by Tiger Electronics of the Furby at the same time allowed the company to concentrate its marketing on Brain Shift.

Some units of Brain Shift had a 'Tiger recommends Duracell' sticker attached to where the batteries are inserted.

If the user press 'on' and 'pause' buttons on the front of the device and inserts one of the top right, bottom left and bottom right battery whilst there are three batteries in the unit, the game will enter test mode and play Happy Birthday To You using the sound that plays the melody during the game.

It will cut out several parts of the audio file with either some background distortion, or in a very rare instance, the voice will try to say "You shift" but doesn't say the whole phrase properly.

As the batteries get lower, some Brain Shift units have been known to lose their memory and start counting random players who are considered 'out' of the game or have crashed.

In version 1.04, all known audio issues will be fixed and will include a quit button for the PC and Mac builds.

For version 2.0, it will be the biggest update which will include better scripting for the game with a new design and a new male voice.

[15] In November 2018, the Android version of Mob Shift developed by DO PLAY was removed due to a copyright issue submitted to Google by Samtastic Games.
