Developer Lachhh & Friends told me that an editor so you can craft levels for your favorite tunes is already forthcoming, meaning even more awesome bullet hell action is on its way. Unlike a similar title - Soundodger - every level in Just Shapes and Beats is hand-crafted and many of the songs are from indie chiptune artists. Unfortunately, checkpoints won't help you in the elaborate boss battles. Just Shapes and Beats has checkpoints if you die after passing a checkpoint, the song simply rewinds back to that checkpoint. On the bright side, you don't have to be perfect over the course of the entire song. If you do, your friends can bring you back to life by simply running over your floating corpse. You can move, but your only other input is a short dash. It's a little bit music game and a little bit bullet hell. Just Shapes and Beats is what it says on the tin: you and up to three friends navigate a musical minefield, where hot chiptune beats create shapes that try to kill you.
#JUST SHAPES AND BEATS LEVEL EDITOR PRE ALPHA DOWNLOAD#
The game is still in early development, so you can actually download the game from Tipping Goat's website right now. Not only was Super Slam Dunk Touchdown pretty fun in person, the developer had the game running at PAX South with six GameCube controllers. Everyone brings something to the table and the development team at Tipping Goat plans to add more sports in the future. Hockey players can charge shots, while soccer players can steal. The football player can tackle fools, while the basketball player can shoot over the goalie's head. Both goals are protected by an AI lacrosse goalie.Įach athlete has a different way to handle the point-scoring item it switches between football, baseball, basketball, and hockey puck. It's a 3v3 match-up, with players choosing an athlete from one of the sports above and attempting to score on a hybrid soccer goal/basketball hoop/goal post. Do you like sports? Even if you don't, do you have an opinion on which sport is the best? Super Slam Dunk Touchdown is an 12-bit style free-for-all pitting hockey, football, football 2: shoulderpads and leatheregg, basketball, and roller derby against one another.
