How to start the game:
Java 1.7 must be installed and *on the path*. (Sorry...)
You can then click run.bat (on Windows) or type 'java -jar shapematch.jar' in a command shell within the unzipped directory (Windows / Mac / Linux).
Shapematch Beat Jam is my take on the Shape Shift theme.
Harder than Dark Souls, but practice makes perfect.
Please let the menu screen run for a while before you start playing!
I worked very hard on it :-)
Object of the game:
It is a combination of a rhytm game and a match game.
You control the center shape. Move the shape to the matching shapes along the edges. If you manage to hit the shape on the beat you increase the score multiplier.
Sound is highly recommended!
Controls:
Choose shape with buttons 1-2-3-4-5 (1=dot 2=line 3=triangle 4=square 5=star)
Choose color with buttons q-w-e-r-t or cycle with tab
Move shape with arrow keys <- ^ v ->
If you fail to match both shape or color you die.
Match shape or color for small score, shape AND color for larger score, and shape, color AND on the correct beat for megascore and increased multiplier.
Can you beat your own highscore?

STRATEGY TIPS
- If you manage to match shape and color at the correct beat, you will rack up points quickly!
- If you have no multiplier to lose, it is sometimes better to just match either color or shape quickly to get the time bonus.
