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.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
