Sound Shapes is getting a free holiday sound pack today
Sound Shapes is a really special game. Even more special is the game's community, which supports it with absolutely amazing new levels/songs every single day. Queasy Games has realized this, and to show their undying love for the community they're releasing the free Holiday Sound Pack right now. Just start your game up (while connected to the internet), and that's it! It's like Christmas morning, except it's December 19th and you're probably still at work or school. What exactly will you be getting in this pack? Well, you'll have five brand-new Christmas-themed instruments from classic carols that you and your peers of the Sound Shapes community get to play with. I can't wait for someone to recreate Led Zeppelin II or something with them. Actually, I think that'll now be my goal for the rest of the day. Happy Holidays right back at all you guys over at Queasy Games. Oh, and quit being so freaking adorable. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
