Just Shapes & Beats

i actually really enjoy this game! the story is fairly replayable and the challenges are so cool!

I LOVE this game, its fun, charming, and has many options for re-playability, with that said, i spend at least 100 of these hours trying to S rank Spider dance in hardcore. i finally did it and am now giving this a thumbs up.

please PLEASE change mortal combat, my sanity needs it.
also, story mode multiplayer REALLY shouldn't require mods.

its amazing, the beats being so good, and some songs being challenging to dodge and win. you get to vibe and go through an amazing experience

absolutely great game, fun mechanics, and the boss fights are great. would strongly recommend.

cool game about a tragic story of a goddamn cube. Music is great. Tottally worth the money :)

Short rhythm game, banger songs, good gameplay and fun. (ignore my playtime I played offline for most of it)

10/10 Game, it's so fun, bought it on console and HAD to get it again here, it's a challenge but a really fun one

Game is dead now unfortunately as no one really knows about it anymore and this is sad because this is a very cool rhythm game and it also has a surprisingly good story. Everything is good in this game: the music, the mechanics, the menus. Unfortunately the developers rarely update the game and the players can't create their own level so there isn't anything new. Overall it's a good rhythm game that wasn't too hard for me.

Short but very sweet, a surprisingly touching story set to banger after repeated banger

the music is so good and makes a good challenge for me since I have been looking for a difficult game to play and now I have Just Shapes and Beats, I can't stop playing.

this game improves your rizz and grows your penix! make sure to download this game and other rhythm games, just because u want a longer schlong. Let that thing grow! Maybe then you might get girls to talk tuya, and maybe even get some of that hawk tuah. Those Who Know: 💀💀💀

Very good awesome game, worth the money. I would recommend to play this if you're looking for a fun rhythm game!

How this game escaped my notice 6 years ago, I have no idea.

This game is so much fun!

This game, is beautiful. There's really not much else to it, the music is a jam, the gameplay can be very tricky or easy depending on how you would prefer to play the game. Another plus is the abundance of extra content, from multiplayer, to an extra chapter and songs or fun challenges to fill up the menu screen.
Either way, I see games as a method to take a break from reality for a while, there is no game that does that better than this one, it might be silly, but I like that, in these rough times why not just have an adventure where the good guys win and the world is good.
(also the devs are really cool for putting 150% effort into their work)

ok, you might call me poor for this. but ive been a JSAB fan for 5 years now. but when it came out I didnt have the money to buy the game. I practically waited 5 years to buy this so this game is always gonna have a place in my heart.

It's a good game, the game's art and level design are cool and nice, but from a single player pov, the game is relatively short, about 3-4 hours give or take with a third portion locked by arbitrary challenges (either high number of actions like dashes or saving an friend [lol], I just wanna chill, listen to the music and play levels) and point rewards that require you to replay the same set of levels (more than likely the story ones which you've completed once already to even see on the select-able song playlist). I'd say pick this game up on sale if you think the game sounds cool to you knowing it's short runtime and busywork to play the final portion

Good beats, good shapes, good times. 9/10

Tiny game, really fun. Great beats. Funny shapes. And feels really satisfying at times. Also bought the soundtrack for the game and listen to a few songs of it. Although the soundtrack does not seem to include all of the soundtracks that are in the game.

My favorite stage was MDK - Interlaced.

Game's name is a lie. There are more than just shapes and beats.

This game is Just Fun and Jams. With this being one of the first rhythm games I ever saw, I was immediately hooked. I waited a couple years, bought it, and had no regret. This game takes some of the best songs I knew and smashed them together with amazing gameplay and visuals. On top of that, there's also a compelling storyline that'll keep you asking for more.

If you like unique rhythm games, I recommend this.

The game is not bad by any means, I just can't stand the it's not over screen. The first time it happened really pissed me off. Without warming I had to waste time just clicking to play the level from the start. Losing all checkpoint progress without warning is one thing, but it happens in levels without check points too. I just want to grind difficult levels, not to have to waste time every few attempts. In a fast paces game 10-15 seconds to restart a level feels like an eternity.

This game is extremely good, the music, gameplay, fps, everything about it is good. (wish the story mode was longer, though. it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete the story mode.)

short and sweet, i consider more of a "really good songs, but with gameplay!" instead of "gameplay, but look, there's also music!" oh and also if you're like "oh what if i dont like the songs ughhhfhfhrhh" SO WAS I! I CAME IN WITH THE EXACT SAME ATTITUDE AND LITERALLY OVER HALF MY PLAYLIST HAS JUST TURNED INTO ONES THAT I HEARD FROM JSAB!!!!

I originally wanted to play because I liked the music but there is so much more to this game than I expected. The story is very well done, the levels are interesting and unique which also makes playlists and challenge modes very fun. Playing in hardcore also adds additional elements and levels so it makes a second play through worthwhile. I also personally really enjoy the visuals and how they interface with the music. It doesn't take very long to beat the full story mode so if you're a fan of games like this I highly recommend.

Loved the game, wish the story mode was longer though

I never would've expected such a touching and immersive story from simple shapes but this was one of the best stories I've seen in an otherwise simple game made epic. Awesome character designs and music choices as well.

While the game only has shapes and beats, the good news is the shapes are really good and the beats are catchy. 7/10.

One of the best rhythm and bullet hell game ever made. Great art, level design and epic music.

good game for passing time and lovely soundtrack

This game is genuinely so peak!!!!!

I liked it cus it's cool, my perfect game, online multiplayer, great bosses, the best story in a game about shapes dodging other shapes while music is playing.

this is really good like the music, design and the story i recommend this game

8/10, in love with the concept, gameplay is serviceable but presentation is great, the music and animations/movement works so well together with the music

If you feel like the game is too expensive, don't - I'd guess that's about the minimum it can be with all the excellent music in it.

This game just *feels* great to play. That can be an incredibly important detail for a game like this. It's not absurdly long, but it's fun, so I do earnestly recommend it.

If I had any requests it would be for an option to remove all checkpoints to make the game harder, but there is more content after beating it, so I'm still going through that and enjoying every minute.

funi game with shapes and pink stuff and seizures.
def reccomend if you have the ability to use a keyboard

close to me sabrepulse is way too difficult and i cant progress story

Potatoes in solitary confinement will be good for humanity because they are a source of ethylene gas, a natural by-product of ripening, which can cause the spoilage of the rest of the potatoes. This enforces the idea that one bad apple can spoil the bunch.

if this game had a workshop with custom levels it would be PEAK. still cool though :3

it is a good game it keeps on challenging me every time i play it so i recomd it to poeple that like to be challenbed

Today on a Monday, September 23rd - 2024 the game has 19709 positive and 488 negative votes at this time,
here's a little best of from the red thumb street, whether i secretly agree with it or not.
But one little thing before we get to that; “Best Music Game E3 - 2016 by Gaming Trend”
I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, but does this "award" mean that for gamingtrend.com
this one was the best music game? (and only according to their opinion?) I mean when they were at the E3? GTFO!
Either way, I'm a bit allergic to artificial hype, I see so much fraud in the world every day, and the frequency still increases.

Best Best Of The Best Downs by STNGTE

"...incredibly disappointing...It's got so much potential...every third song feels like a slog..."
There was even a comment, but instead of talking objectively or kinda mature about something,
there was just a blunt: “stfu” ^^

"The art is good, the music is good, the game overall I wouldn't say good enough for $20."

"I wish I loved it...increases difficulty and game duration by practically forcing you to lose until you memorize the level...
trailer doesn't explain what the game is. I did not actually know I was buying a bullet hell game..."

"Attacks are unpredictable, which makes the game very frustrating, you have to memorize level after level..."

"This is a very confusing game to me...because of how everyone seems to be ignoring all of the game's flaws and turning them into positives...I didn't have fun while grinding beat points, and I even got to the point where I gave up on listening to the game's music and just muted the game while mindlessly grinding the same levels..."

"can't say I particularly disliked any one song in this soundtrack, but despite the large diversity this game has in artists, Nearly all songs are either Chiptune, dubstep, or some other very obvious electric-based genre..."

"The soundtrack is very samey...generic songs...sound much the same, most levels borrow or reuse elements from other levels..."

"...on the whole, it's more frustrating than fun to play..."

a fun game that has a lot of hard an fun levels and boss's that you can enjoy with freids and lots of fun a sad parts that you enjoy and play

Fun yet simple game. Just Shapes and Beats is a rythem game at heart but having to dodge attacks after attacks with many songs to choose from and a great online and local multiplayer experience makes for a great game.

a good game in general, especially the online mode. a bit overrated but still fun.

this game is quite good. im quite fond of rhythm games, but if im being honest this one took me by surprise. aft6er playing only through tutorial i know i liked it.
honestly doesnt need a good pc to run it and it worth the price.

Just shapes and beats is a game about music and games from many years ago and having them used in a fun bullet hell game where you doge the colour red as a blue cube.(or other shapes if multiplayer) really good game with good music and gameplay.

Yeah i like it :)


am i good at it? No!

Do I still love it? Of course!

The game-play feels snappy and well-made, Some of the hardcore songs are chaos at its peak, you will die... a lot, but the game doesn't feel too unfair, every time I died I always felt like i learnt something about a song's general pattern to improve on my next respawn.

i'm gonna be honest..... i didn't really enjoy just shapes & beats... i finished the story in about 3 hours and it felt like a chore the whole way through, theres cool graphics and nice music but the gameplay just never clicked for me.

As a player of games I can tell you that this was worth my purchase. The visuals are stunning and if you want you want to train, this a good game to go with! 10/10
