Obstacles form in ways that line up with beats and melodies, and as a moving shape stuck in the middle of a song you can’t stop, each level is about surviving the chaos each song creates. Each beat, note, and melody has some sort of on-screen representation, whether in snow-like patterns falling down the screen or violent manifestations of the beat made to look like monsters infecting an otherwise cheerful visualization. Each level is set to one of more than 30 EDM tracks, ranging from ambient songs to bass heavy and erratic. Just Shapes & Beats is best described as a game about surviving the music visualization screensaver your computer probably leaves up when it’s left on idle. The name “Just Shapes & Beats,” while apt, doesn’t quite encompass the chaotic, colourful, anxiety-inducing, and mesmerizing game Berzerk Studio has created, and one that perfectly executes upon its premise. If you’ve ever been a small person in a mosh pit, you’ve already lived a lot of what Just Shapes & Beats has to offer: shifting around and attempting to find a safe spot to avoid being pummeled in the mess that’s destructively moving along with the music.
