About The Last Shape
Sink into the Breathtaking Atmosphere of a Destroyed World
Somewhere, among an endless void there was a universe named Gaos. The universe was inhabited by 4 races of creatures that were similar to geometrical figures. The relationships between them were hostile. The whole world was destroyed as a result of the war.
Adventure Through the Looking Glass
Finally spirits of the dead have been reincarnated as the last shape, that was a little cube, which gave them an ability to see what they've done when they were alive in a different light.
The game has many dark floors that the little square has to go through and when it reaches the end, at this moment the spirits of creatures are ready to be reborn in an entirely new universe. At the end all spirits leave the last little cube behind and disappear.
Features:

✦ AI summary
The Last Shape features appealing hand-drawn artwork and atmospheric world design that draw players in, but is hampered by poor tutorials, clunky movement mechanics, and unfair difficulty spikes that frustrate rather than challenge. Players praise the visual style and creative level concepts but criticize unclear platforming mechanics like the long jump, low visibility in later areas, and a lack of developer support for fixes, making the experience feel unpolished despite its potential.

[h1]Before I played The Last Shape, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]1 found this helpful
Far too many issues pile up and ruin an experience that could have been excellent. After three hours of gameplay, I unfortunately cannot recommend spending time on this game. It claims to be difficult, but it’s not the "good kind of difficulty"—rather, it feels unfair, filled with errors that make the game frustrating. Just because a game is hard doesn’t justify a horrible experience, especially when the difficulty stems from game design flaws. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of points that need improvement, although the developer doesn’t seem to be planning any updates: Game Design & Readability Issues The game is absolutely not sight-readable, especially from the cyan crystal zone onward: Invisible doors, hidden paths behind the environment. Constant darkness, imprecise and invisible objectives. Scenery obstructing the action. The monochrome palette (mostly black and white) makes it difficult to distinguish between the background, foreground, and action plane. Feedback is sometimes too weak, sometimes too strong: In the cave, where visibility is already low, it’s hard to realize that you need to break the same wall three times. …
I really like the hand drawn artstyle and I really want to see all of the different worlds or levels, but I cant enjoy the movement in this game, the long jump mechanic never gets explained you just get thrown in and you have to figure out how to do it on your own. Also the general movement feels very clunky and unfinished, what definitely is not good in a platformer game... just make a better quick tutorial to show the mechanics you need for the game and try to make the movement more smooth. But i think this game could have some potential for a little fun atmospheric game.
I had fun, the art style is nice at least. But the game is probably way too difficult for me to realistically handle. I'll recommend it to fans of difficult platformers anyway.
This game is pretty good but cant get past this one part may install it another day
