Just Shapes & Beats

The game's story is quite simple and cozy, which no doubt is one of the reason why it was so popular back in 2019 (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i'm old).

The tutorial does a pretty good job at showcasing this as it progressively gets more intense as you master certain parts of it, reflecting the chaotic nature the gameplay can have.

The difficulty progression is really well made and the level design is amazing.

I was introduced to this game through a friend who has it on the Switch and I love it, although it's definitely best played with a friend in local multiplayer.

Great multiplayer experience [played local co-op mostly on Switch] where the controls are easy to learn, the style is minimal, and at least in the beginning, the deaths are aplenty... but there is hope - you can save each other if you're quick enough [which means you'll probably be yelling at each other to get saved, it's a lot of fun].

This game's soundtrack had an insane influence on my modern music taste, really getting me more into EDM and introducing me to artists I still listen to today(e.g., Pegboard Nerds, Tokyo Machine, MDK).
