shapeshift beat by Allov
*** This is my first ever entry but not my first try! This is more a completion achievement than anything else!
shapeshift beat is a game where the song dictate what happens. Shapes will fall down comming from low, mid and high frenquencies and you have to grab them while shapeshifting to the correct shape!
Grabbing multiple shapes while avoiding bad shapes will get you combo for more points!
Have fun!

wold've lked a way to drectly switc to a specifc shpe rther thn cycl throug tem.
It's a fun concept, with lots of potential.
A few things I would add: a way to select what shape you want to be, apart from cycling (as in a 1-2-3 for triangle-square-whateveritwas). Changing up the terrain from a flat line would work well too.
Apart from that, the graphics are minimalistic but solid, the songs are nice, and it's just a fun game to play. Well done!
On a side note: for my game, on the third level, you need to be the same 2D shape as the object you want to go to in order to swap to it. Please try again, once you get that the game is a lot more fun! =)
I could've used a bit more to ease me into the game and some more depth to keep me trying.
However, great game for a jam! Well done
Now the game :
Good minimalist graphics, the beating "volume-bar" contributes to the good feeling.
I didn't feel the link between the shape-spawning and the music itself...
The audio is good, once again it adds something.
There is a pause : ++
Good not invasive tutorial.
And finally : original concept !
Some details I don't like in the mechanics :
The horizontal speed is too high and the shape has too much "inertia". Once you pressed left or right, you have to travel at least a quarter of the screen.
The shapes disappear instantly. Having them fade out would remove the frustration of missing one by a split second.
Apart from that is a solid finished entry ! Once again : well done !
