Overview
Description

140 is an indie 2D rhythm puzzle‑platformer that blends tight platforming with a dynamic soundtrack. Every beat influences the environment, turning music into a core gameplay mechanic. Players must time their movements to the pulse, navigating ever‑changing levels that react to the beat. The game offers a unique fusion of strategy, action, and musical interactivity across multiple platforms.

Sound Shapes blends classic 2D platforming with a music creation engine, letting every jump, slide and bounce add to the soundtrack. The campaign features artwork from Pixeljam, Capy, Superbrothers and more, with tracks by I Am Robot and Proud, Jim Guthrie and Deadmau5. Beyond the story, players can build their own musical levels using all campaign assets, then publish them for the community to explore. The result is a living, ever‑changing musical world that can be enjoyed at home or on the go.
