About the game
Night Shift is a short, lively reaction game for when you have a minute to spare. You are keeping watch over an old copper clock tower, and its windows are full of curious owls. At first they take their time, but as the clock hand sweeps round they appear faster and vanish sooner, and more bats join in to catch you out. The trick is to stay calm and look before you tap. Because a round lasts exactly 45 seconds, it is easy to have another go and push your best score a little higher. It works well on phones as well as with a mouse or keyboard.
