Ladies and Gentlemen, Children Of All Ages, Shape Shifter beckons you to a delightful convergence of action, intrigue and fun!

ShapeShifter has two fun-filled modes of play; Beat The Clock, where you fill a specified number of rows before time runs out; and Shape Speedster, where you clear a number of rows before the board fills up. As they are cleared, another row appears. If the rows reach the top of the board, then your game is over. Higher levels bring more and varied types and colours of shapes to create a greater challenge. Beat The Clock also includes special bonus levels to test your speed and dexterity.

ShapeShifter also features the same zingy sound effects as the PC version and has a carnival-style music soundtrack courtesy of Astraware’s Aurora Sound Engine.
Shape Shifter features:

* A massive array of colourful and bright shapes!
* Original musical score!
* 2 Game modes
* Selectable levels of difficulty, from level 1 to level 99!
* Bonus levels to test your wits and reflexes

Astraware has done it again with this awesome addition to their library. When I saw screenshots of this game initially I was a bit skeptical of how much fun it would be. All in all it turned out to be alot of fun. Easy at first and very hard as you progress through the levels. There are two modes. The first mode is called beat the clock which includes bonus rounds. I like this mode better then the second mode. The bonus rounds are cool but easy once you get the hang of it. The second mode, shape speedster is to try to make rows disappear. This is harder then it sounds. If the rows go past the top it's game over. I lose pretty fast here. My favorite thing in this game are the sounds and music. They are pretty loud even on the subway. Don't know why this game and Tip Top are the only Astraware games that I need to turn the sound on. The ghaphics are cool too but I think animating the shapes would be even cooler. If you want a great addition to your games library download this and have a great time.
