Sound Shapes Celebrates One Year With Sale, Free DLC, Contest

PlayStation 3 and Vita musical platformer Sound Shapes turns one year old this week. The celebration is underway with three pieces of good news for fans (and soon-to-be-fans).

First up, if you haven't yet played Sound Shapes, you can get it now for 50 percent off. That's $7.49 (for both platforms thanks to cross-buy) for a title that we absolutely adored. If you do already have it, all of the DLC and avatars are also available at half-price.

Sound Shapes features a level creator, and Sony wants to see what you're made of. If you create a new level and upload it with the #BDay tag, you can get some nifty things. The top six entrants will receive a signed poster and inclusion in the one-year anniversary milkcrate album.

Finally, Sony is giving away the Car mini-album and Entity pack. All you have to do is post a birthday wish for Sound Shapes in this thread. Codes will be distributed via XMB or email before the end of the month.

Our Take
Sound Shapes is one of the most unique and engaging games I have played in quite some time.  It continues to see expanded official content and solid contributions from the community. The DLC continues to take the game in new directions, as a variety of music styles and varied visuals provide new experiences. Celebrating with free DLC, a sale, and an incentive for creators to give it their best is a wonderful way to honor this title's first birthday.
