I window popped up telling me to press the "okay" button, which I did, then that window went away, and not two seconds later a second window popped up telling me the "evaluation period has ended".

Just like the other reviewers, I got stuck on level two after finding only 4 differences. Also, I am not a fan of timers. I like to relax with this sort of game, not feel under the gun, no matter how large the timer may be.
I wish I could give this more than two stars, but since I only got to level 2, I can't in good conscience rate anything I haven't played.

""You equipped the goggles" wut?"
(spoiler)
Equipped a wooden log, and got the message "You equipped the goggles." Equipped a second log and got the message "You equipped the metal glove."
Those items never appeared in the game, since I finished it two seconds later.
Ok game, but fixing those messages makes sense. :p

After shooting the target in question 3, no matter where I click I cannot move on to the next question, even where it says "click here". It appears to be an error.
Because the game cannot be completed I cannot give this game a score.

"Poor puzzles makes a poor score"
I have to wonder where does the score come in? I got 0/1000 at the end, with a grade of "F". How does a score come into this? That confused me a tad.
Anyway, I cannot give this submission a high score, sorry. Bad puzzle design, few that there were, which in this type of game I would consider to be of paramount importance. Graphics & sound I can overlook, normally, but with poor puzzle design it is simply not an attractive package.

I absolutely loved it. I would love to see more, with your excellent humor and fun puzzle design.

I have loved all of the Shift games, and I enjoyed the addition made to this one of using multiple people, although it seems odd that they travel with you when you go through a door, even if they couldn't possibly reach it. I suggest that you explain that away in Shift 5. I did not think it was as fun as the other Shift games, however. At first, when I thought the timer was real, I was frustrated, and it left a horrible first impression as I raced through the first set of levels. Then I freaked when I thought I would run out of time on the second set, and almost reset myself before time ran out, which would have been an awful mistake, of course. Messing with the player's head is something you do well in the first Shift games, but it was more for humor value originally; this time it flustered me.

I like the idea of it, and find that this is much better than the second one. Although it was too short and could have had more levels to it, you made a good game that wasn't frustrating, and was a fun diversion to relax with. I would suggest you move this and the sequel to the Puzzle section since you've gotten a lot of complaints that there is no action.

The single biggest problem with this game is that you only have four lives. The first game was much better because you could play a level until you completed it.
It is a nice simple game to relax with, but unfortunately only having four lives destroys that idea, and makes the game too frustrating.
The graphics were fine, except for the dizzying background gave me motion sickness. You may want to consider dropping that from the next version of the game. The sound was fine, and I think you added a mute feature, which was wonderful. I enjoyed the gameplay, and the idea works well, if only you did not have four lives...

The concept of it is great, my only conerns are:
It would be good to have the slider following the music as it plays instead of moving it yourself to watch it; and also, perhaps other guitar or bass riffs would be nice, especially ones from different-sounding instruments (like having five different-sounding guitars to choose from, for instance). After hearing enough of it, it gets tiresome. You can only listen to twelve riffs for so long, you know?
