The best shapes are Sound Shapes.

These trophies are tough D:

I am so damn impressed with Sound Shapes right now. Not only does the game allow for LittleBig Planet or Minecraft levels of customization, with so many uber talented people creating levels with amazing results, but the online community is excellent. I think I talked about Sound Shapes awhile ago in the way that it is half musically expressive, half challenging platformer something along the lines of an easier Super Meat Boy. All you do is collect coins that add notes to the music and run, jump, and stick to various surfaces. The Death Mode levels are ridiculous hard, and many of the user generated ones tend to be as well. The user generated ones... oh man. I have literally gone from seeing cool levels that pay homage to other games or songs to eventually these vastly intricate levels. Masterpieces  Jaw-dropping creativity. I played one recently that was a retelling of the story of little red riding hood, complete with comic book style panels. One look and you couldn't help but wonder, how the hell did a guy do this with stock level design tools? The song as you crawled your way to the end was not half bad either. It was amazing. Now the dudes at Queasy just dropped some sick knowledge on me. Not only can you browse user uploaded levels on their community site, if you log in with your PSN ID, you can queue them and play them later as well.

DAMN.

Also, if you like story levels, then you will also like my other levels "Ninja", "A nightmare on chuch st" and "the egg and the beanstalk" as they all have a story theme and even require clues to leave the level. ENJOY!
