  • Summary: A game about shapes, and about beats.

    "Just Shapes & Beats" is a chaotic co-op musical bullet-hell based on three simple things: avoid Shapes, move to the rad Beats, and die, repeatedly. It's a new spin on SHMUPs, adding a layer of coop that's at the core of the game: 'cause everything is    A game about shapes, and about beats.

    Play alone or with up to four players, local or online, through the game's Story Mode or Challenge Runs.

    MUSIC TO YOUR EARS, AND HANDS

    You like music? SO. DO. WE. That's why we have 35 hand crafted stages with licensed tracks from over 20 chiptune and EDM artists.

    Hits like a ton of brick straight into your eardrums and your eyeballs; BAM

    EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH FRIENDS

    Gather up your squad and play up to 4 player co-op, drop-in drop-out, either all on your couch for a house party, or an online party!

    Don't have/like your friends? WE GOTCHU MY DUDES, make new or BETTER friends by playing a few quick online challenge runs. Let us pick your new best buds for the next hours; strangers are just friends you haven't met yet.

    Kind of a lone wolf, back hurts from carrying people, would rather play with yourself? Do it, the game is just as fun, just a different experience waiting for you; ain't nobody judging here yo.

    SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

    We have many different game experiences to offer! Story mode helps you learn the ropes with our intermediate-ish tracks and the optional Casual mode. When you think you're ready, Challenge Runs is where you get to prove yourself: get judged on your skills by playing through randomly picked tracks.

    Need some kind of training montage to get better? Rip off your sleeves and practice the tracks you're struggling to master in the Playlist.

    A simple but addicting "rythm dodge" game. It features great chiptune music and 4 player co-op and party modes.

    And yet I loved this game!

    It is fun, colorful, with a great "story"... and the gameplay is incredibly tight! The blend of music and gameplay is on a level I have rarely seen from any game that I would consider approachable.

    If you enjoy music, and love indie games with good gameplay, give this one a chance, you won't regret it!    … Expand

    Such a good game. Haven't played a music game like it. Multiplayer is fun, feels collaborative even though everyone's doing kinda their own thing.
