Vertical Shift features 4 multiplayer gameplay modes. Each mode can be played with up to ten people with crossplay.

Freeze Tag 

Team up and work together for this fast pace reimagining of everyone’s favorite playground game! In our premiere competitive mode, two teams will face off in ten-minute matches. Each player is equipped with an EMP blast, which will freeze the other team in their tracks. Keep an eye on frozen enemies, the EMP blast can also unfreeze your teammates! The first team to ten points wins!

Players compete in a free for all to capture and hold the Hot Seat! Steal the hot seat by tagging the golden player. Keep the Hot Seat by moving quickly! The player who holds the hot seat the longest wins!

Infection

Race 

The Race is on! Will you be the first across the finish line?

Vertical Shift also features a single-player campaign! Explore the City of Orion, a futuristic metropolis on the brink of collapse. Join the resistance and help take down the evil government through a variety of missions and activities. Or just swing around and take in the sights!

This is a horrible clone of Jet Island's movement system and physics

Developer let me beta test this and the optimization is very good for the valve index. I maintained a very high FPS consistently throughout a 20 minute play session with other players.

Give this one a try.
