A bunch of Musical Shapes!

AKA had to doodle possibly every single protagonist/ player character that's a shape AND is from a music based/ rhythm game or just a game with really good music.

Every single character and their game, from top left to bottom right underneath the cut:

a little concept!

Rhythm platformer Vectronom coming to Switch ⊟

The levels change in sync with the music, making a sort of psychedelic rhythm Q-Bert looking thing that I’m totally into. The announcement for the game also mentions you can use alternate controllers like dance pads! Which, again, into. I hadn’t thought about trying to get some kind of dance pad into the Switch, but it must be possible, either through USB or USB>GameCube.

Have yall ever heard of Vectronom?

I think it's the first thing I've played since 140 that successfully integrates the gameplay and music this well (without cheating and being a pure rhythm game), and that's saying something. Also 140 is great. Everyone go play 140.

I guess also like 140 this technically qualifies as a puzzle platformer, although instead of being about running and jumping like that one is it's about moving along with the music and finding the right path and timing to get through the levels.

There were a couple frustrating moments here and there that I didn't love, but the levels are short enough and restart instantly so I either threw myself at something a few more times and got the hang of it or went and did something else for a little while and it clicked when I got back.
