Just Shapes & Beats

exactly as advertised, there are in fact just shapes and beats

quality stuff hoping for new updates

is a really good nostalgic game and fun throughout the whole thing and is very simple
fully reccomended to play without any recollection of the game whatsoever for the best gameplay

An enjoyable game for all skill levels. While Story Mode doesn't have any mind-blowing lore, it's a great and stress-free introduction to the game.

The real grind comes from getting the Grindcore achievement, which can be more fun done in Multiplayer (with no in-game chat, perfect for introverts), or more practical in Local (where each player contributes and up to quadruples your gains, that is, if you have friends willing).
On that note, I've never seen a Multiplayer mode encourage bad players and experienced players to work in such great harmony, where reviving each other is a fun added challenge which rewards you in a pinch.

This does mean the main gameplay loop beyond Story Mode is playing Challenge Mode (three levels in succession, last one being 1 out of 8 possible Boss Level) and Playlist Mode (Freeplay with an option to chain levels together), either for Beat Coins or Ranks, but there's a surprising amount of ways to play each level due to its open design, making it hardly repetitive if you are ever daring.

w game tbh, love everything. requires some grinding, but it feels so good to finally get an s rank on a level

the beats are good the shapes are good all of it is good this game is good

Sick game needs more people in its fanbase however.
Good one timer and if your bored you can do multiplayer .

I love story games. Also I love rhythm games.
How on earth this game combined both, and both of those parts are insanely good?
Story is little on short side, but insane quality, so it's understandable.
Gameplay is hard when you just joined, but becomes easier to control yourself over time.
I really enjoyed the game, worth buying for a full price ;)

The greatest bullet hell of all time, challenging but not too hard, very fun

this game is the best!
with the beats and the shapes and BULLET HELL it is a very well made game and so is the forgotten chapter.

Really cool story, the gameplay isn't boring or obnoxiously difficult. Very, very nice overall. The multiplayer also gives it a nice competitiveness after finishing the main game. Was worth it.

Good game to play when you're bored and love the multiplayer mode

Game + music + timing = Good.



That simple :)

Amazing game no bad comments it is a bit short but the challenge mode makes it just a fun couch co-op game to play sometimes after you completed story mode also party mode is an amazing edition if you just wanna chill at night or something Amazing game overall

mortar combat bing bing bing bing bing bing bing bing bing bing bing bing

This is a great game my favorite level is barracuda

This game has had an impact on my childhood. I remember when i was 11-ish, I came home to watch the Pink Corruption, an amazing fan animation. 10/10 absolute cinema.

The game lives up to its name. Its making sick beats while shapes dance along to them.

this game is soooo good i played so long and i have 88%! it has multiplayer and stuff its perfect for my wants. absolute 10 out of 10

It is a great multiplayer game, great storyline, etc.

pretty fun, but theres more than shapes and beats, there's beats

its very fun but hard but that helps me get stronger at problems

this is the first bullet hell game i have ever played, and its really fun!
the story was really good and the levels were fun (except close to me that level can die in a fire)

got a bit frustrating at times, but the levels i liked were so cool.


my only complaint is that i wish there was a level editor and steam workshop support, that would be SO cool. but you can only dream


worth the $20 for sure

Very fun and silly game with awesome music. Genuanly entertaining and easy to follow!

this game was really good story mode short though but i like that im able to play online

So much care and thought went into this game! Every level is unique. Highly recommended.

only took 4 hours for me to love this game! I don't really care about the price, it's just really fun to play! 10/10

soundtracks are great just hate that it is super hard in challenge mode

this game is the closest i've come to being able to touch and feel the shapes of early 2010s EDM with my two hands. if you were a fan of that era of music, pick this game up for indescribable feelings of nostalgia and a way to just maybe reach through the ether to touch a world we do not and can not exist in, but that exists there beside us all the same.

its a nice fun game and it has amazing music so you should play it

Truly an amazing bullet hell game that clearly draws inspiration from geometry dash and undertale two games that I hold in very high regard. However, it is its own thing and will not get stale if you've already played these games before. I especially appreciated the homages it left to both gd and undertale in its extra content. I would 100% recommend this game if you enjoy difficult 'beat' games ( :

Very cool game with great Soundtracks and fitting level design! Hope they add some more to it someday or make a JSAB 2.

Good game, unfun dev team.

Gatekeeps a level editor from most of the community and gives access to only big content creators, then cancels it without a word and threaten the dev behind an unofficial level editor to take legal actions if it ever goes public just shows the real face behind Berzerk Studios.

Also if you dare to say anything about the hardmode levels mostly consisting of pellet spam, or give the slightest critique to any level design, you WILL get a negative response from one of the devs.

Shame, cause the concept of the game is great... but I guess "Never meet your heroes" has some truth to it.

Great game, just sadly had issues with performance and delays on linux.

This game is amazingly engaging and extremely re-playble. there are literally hours of gameplay and bonus challenges to be found. It is great how it can be played solo or with others. JSaB is perfect for parties and would be challenging fun for everyone who plays it. Though I must warn, this game is challenging and there is definitely a learning curve. I would say it's a combination of the Undertale fight scenes and any music based rhythm game. Would strongly recommend. 10/10!

Good story line and multiplayer is pretty funny with my friends tbh would recommed if you are a bullet hell enjoyer or just want a new fun game with lots of songs. Peak game.

Very beautiful game, all it needs is a level editor

buy it fr fr its a bullet hell game that has 3 diffuculties casual normal and hardcore. i played nomal the whole way through and i think that the diffuculty was perfect on normal for me atleast and it was my first bullet hell experience ever and it was a good introductionfor me

Easily one of my favorite Bullet Hell games, with some great music, sick visuals, and cool patterns. Love how perfectly the attacks sync up with the music, and how intentional every little bit of each song is intentional.

awesome, chill game. Played it before, came back, and I still enjoy it. Wonderful work, I am still waiting for additional updates. Thanks to Partition Zion for recommendation!

Extremely good.I would reccomend for people who love bullet hell and music games with a little kick to the story also.Multiplayer is also fun since you can play with other people

makes music give me war scars, NEVER AGAIN, IM NEVER DOING COOL KIDS AGAIN. and it makes you feel like ur in the music, and the music choice and desgin is fire, and its hard, and MOST are fun hard!

So much fun! The designs are so simple, yet super cool looking! Even the menu music is a banger! Totally worth the 12$!

amazing game, cool songs cool features cool bosses, everything is so good in this game. especially the story mode. if ur thinking about buying, you should

Its a challenge but also not too hard. Just perfect difficulty, and even if you want it to be harder, you can just enter hardcore mode. Great game. (also why does the end have to be so long? is there a way to skip the end credits?)

Love this game, the music is so epic and the gameplay is just magnifecent. This game is worth the 20 dollars, trust me.

The concept of the game is really fun. First off, the story may be short but they have really cool levels and good music to go with it. Its quite difficult so its fun. Also multiplayer is fun and people still play it.

this game has everything. The music is god tier and the gameplay is SO fun.

very fun game, playing online with others is even more fun.

even tho its not very replayable (at least imo) its incredibly fun for the time you get! worth it
