Just Shapes and Beats

Just Shapes and Beats is a music-based action game that blends chaotic bullet-dodging with rhythmic visuals. At its core, it’s about survival—your small shape must avoid dangerous patterns while the screen explodes in sync with energetic music. There's no shooting, no attacking—just precise movement and fast reflexes. The game emphasizes multiplayer cooperation but is just as playable solo, offering different experiences depending on how you choose to play.

Music as the Arena

Each level in Just Shapes and Beats is built around a track, usually from chiptune or electronic genres. The music isn’t just background noise—it shapes the environment. As the track progresses, it spawns enemy patterns that pulse, explode, and shift in time with the beat. From sudden drops to rhythmic pulses, every sound is matched by a visual hazard. Playing the game means reacting to both sight and sound, making it a unique blend of rhythm and reflex.

Modes for All Players

The game features a story mode where players are introduced to mechanics through curated levels with increasing difficulty. It also includes challenge runs where tracks are randomized, testing memory and adaptability. A free-play mode lets players pick their favorite tracks and practice or experiment. Whether you're easing into the mechanics or pushing your reaction speed to the limit, each mode adjusts the experience to your style.

Designed for Party Chaos

Just Shapes and Beats shines in multiplayer. Up to four players can join locally or online, working together to survive levels and revive each other. The difficulty doesn't scale down, but reviving teammates adds a layer of teamwork to the chaos. Party Mode transforms the game into a visual concert, running tracks continuously while players drop in and out casually—perfect for gatherings, streams, or relaxed play sessions.
