Because of the game's lack of dialogue, we never do find out what its role and motives are. Ambiguously Evil: The giant pyramid that attacks you out of nowhere in the 'Barracuda' stage.The player must then climb over piles of trash in a quick-time event to avoid being killed. After unlocking the Helicopter friend, the player falls down a chute onto an actual conveyer belt with a similar wall of sawblades.Most notably, the level “Cool Friends (Murtagh & Veschell Remix)” has a literal wall of spinning sawblades which chases the player along a conveyer belt. Advancing Wall of Doom: Many of the levels feature at least one, with the intention of forcing the player into a small area and limiting their movement.Action Bomb: One of the common 'enemies' which can be seen at the start of the game is a pink shape that shortly explodes into a Spread Shot of pink projectiles.The game offers four-player co-op multiplayer, a story mode, and an electronic-chiptune soundtrack by 20 different musicians. The game is best described as a combination of intensely difficult bullet hell games along with rhythm action. Just Shapes & Beats is an indie video game developed by Berzerk Studio for Nintendo Switch and Steam.
