Next week marks the long awaited debut of Sound Shapes -- the PlayStation music/platforming game we've been talking up forever -- but today marks the first details on PSN Trophies for the PS3/Vita crossplay title. In short, they sound really tough.
Sound Shapes is packing a Platinum Trophy (an honor only awarded once you've unlocked every other Trophy in the game), but the achievements aren't spread through Sound Shapes many modes. Instead of making you play the title's albums in a certain way for online glory, Trophies can only be unlocked in Death Mode and Beat School.
Sound Shapes' Mathew Kumar explained on the PlayStation Blog.
"Death Mode is an unusual twist in our campaign mode," he said. "Once you’ve beaten our albums, you can flip each album over to a b-side and experience intense, single-screen timed challenges to collect notes without dying based on signature moments from each of the album’s tracks. Each win unlocks a Trophy, and it’s our hope that these will test the skills players have learned in our levels, making each Trophy win hard fought but deeply rewarding. Beat School is a different sort of challenge: here we challenge all players, even (if not especially) those who consider themselves “non musical,” to create beats on a single screen by listening and matching to a beat we have created."
Sound interesting -- if not totally sadistic. Look for IGN's review of Sound Shapes next week.
