Sound Shapes , a 2D platformer, combines environments and challenges in harmony with music. The player controls a yellow blob with a beady eye that can jump around, cling to walls, and hang upside down. Controls include movement, jumping, speed up, and unstick. The goal is to complete levels based on platform jumping challenges and avoid all red elements.

The twist in Sound Shapes is that all levels are built around famous musicians' soundtracks. Levels start with a basic sound, but collecting notes can open up more soundtrack elements, changing the animation and level design dynamically. The game uses music to influence the environment, such as glowing elements or temporary platforms.

The main campaign consists of five albums with three to five levels each, featuring environments like city rooftops, factories, and 8-bit dream worlds. Artists contributing songs include Beck, deadmau5, I Am Robot and Proud, and Jim Guthrie. Additional game modes, such as Death Mode and Beat School, offer challenges and creativity.

Players can create custom levels through Edit mode, using a grid-based music sequencer and level editor. Custom levels can be shared with other players and downloaded from a central community hub. The game is available for both platforms, with a single purchase, and community creations are accessible regardless of the originating platform.
