Tapping Enter ( PC/ Steam), A ( Switch/ Xbox), or the Cross button ( PS4) multiple times causes the square to fix itself and changes the screen's text to read 'It's NOT Over', allowing the player to continue from the beginning of the level. Three breaks within a single level results in a Game Over screen, with the text stating 'It's Over' and the cyan square breaking down to pieces. If the shape breaks entirely, the game rewinds to the previous checkpoint, or in the case of the boss battles, back to the start. Players can take up to three hits in regular tracks and six hits during boss tracks. īeing struck by one of these attacks causes the player to lose a part of their shape, represented by either a cyan square as player 1, a yellow triangle as player 2, a green pentagon as player 3 or an orange circle as player 4. These attacks appear and move in rhythm to the music, with difficulty increasing the further players progress. Up to four players each control one small shape, surviving via dodging a variety of attacks, such as huge beams, bouncing waves, snake-like spirals, pulsating shapes, and bouncing circles. Just Shapes & Beats consists of multiple levels based around individual tracks by independent artists in the Dubstep, Trap music (EDM) and chiptune genres, such as Nitro Fun, Danimal Cannon, Tristam, Noisestorm and Pegboard Nerds. The game was nominated for the 'most self-explanatory title' award, but lost. In this game, players move a colorful shape to the beat of background music and dodge pink shapes. It was also released on June 30, 2020, for Stadia, and on May 31, 2022, for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
