About The Perfect Shape

Be warned this game will test your dexterity, patience and wit. Each level has multiple solutions and it becomes easier or harder based on your own choices.

The goal is simple - you control a geometrical shape and have unique abilities that you can use (or misuse) to complete each Level. The game has multiple layers of depth that you can find or miss (if you're not paying attention). At it's core it is a plain platformer but some features were borrowed from metroidvania genre and mixed in with a puzzle or two.

Everything revolves around your choices- your chosen shape at any given time will affect directly your special ability, the safety of the ground and the special power up. Your decision to change or keep is also very important and you should be aware of your surroundings, as it can often save you either time or effort.

Key features

Invincible but...


Your enemies won't be able to kill because you are invincible, but if you miscalculate your decisions you could run out of time which will reset the current level, and with that, any progress within the level.

Multiple endings


The game has more paths and you can't explore all of them in one go, although the beginning is the same there are hidden paths that will take you to another zone. Taking up one path you are giving up the other ones.

Linked consumables


Consumables are a resource to help you in your challenges but also serve as evolution requirement- would you rather exchange or use them?

Individualized evolution


Each shape has it's own evolution and it's up to you to decide if one or another will benefit your play-style.

Overwritable and cumulative power ups


There are 3 types of power ups:
-Temporal: their effect will last until your shape will be changed (red)
-Timed: their effect will last for a period of time (blue)
-Permanent: their effect will last until the end of the level (green)
With the exception of the special power up all the powers can be stacked up to 5 times.
Different types can be stacked together but the last picked up type will overwrite the old one.

Challenge system within levels


You only have one chance to complete the challenge for any given level, and once you're in your shape will be locked.
Multiple challenges are available for most of the levels and all of them were individually designed.

Change abilities as you change shapes. Nice time/point-based mechanic, strong use of upgrades and specials. Short but features challenges and branching levels that add replayability. If you're a casual gamer and love a platformer that mixes the best elements of retro gaming with modern graphics and dynamic gameplay, consider giving this a visit. It's super polished and a lot of fun. The further in you go, the better it gets. For more niche curation, follow me at: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/27440015-CSH-Picone/

Highly recommend this game to those who love a good challenge! I played for a couple of hours, It really has a lot of funny moments and very intense challenges. Definitely not a game for the faint-hearted. It´s nice that you don´t have to kill all enemies to complete the level. A unique approach of the fast paced action mixed with subtle puzzles to find your own way to the end of the journey. Can't wait to finish it!

What can I say about this game you may ask? It is challenging as all hell! It is a game that very well may make you rage... If you do not rage, you're likely playing it wrong! Its pretty neat, the idea of the game, the different play styles within the game and so many options to proceed throughout the levels! The animations are sweet, the many different shapes to help you advance... Or if you're like me and apparently don't understand the tutorial... You fail at ever part of the game but still enjoy it! The graphics are also nice. I like the art that is done in this game.
