    There are good ideas in Sound Shapes. The music is (usually) well done enough, and there are some interesting platforming abilities. However, the way both interact each other is poor and ineffective. Beck and Deadmaus commit great soundscapes (heh), unfortunately the platforming doesn't hold up.

    Sound Shapes is one of those games where the concept is better that the execution. Mixing music with the platform genre has been done well in the past (the music levels in Rayman Legends being the best example) but in this case the platforming is slow, and rather dull, and you never really fell as though the the music is actually part of the gameplay. I gave it a good 45 minutes toSound Shapes is one of those games where the concept is better that the execution.

    If you're the type of person that enjoys user generated content, then this will definitely be your jam – and even if you don't, the clever concept and cross-buy compatibility still make it a sound investment.

    An inspired and creative musical platformer game with indie values but a great execution.

    Almost, nearly, but not quite painfully indie cool, Sound Shapes delivers a simple, stylish and highly enjoyable platforming experience that packs some seriously good tunes.
