* TriumphantReprise: Most likely unintentional, but the proper intros of [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss Final Boss]] and [[EleventhHourSuperPower Till It's Over]] have almost the same chord progression.]]

* MakeMeWannaShout: The FinalBoss, during its second phase, constantly blasts you with lasers from its mouth. This, combined with the background noises in the music, makes it seem as if he's screaming out lasers.

* UnexpectedShmupLevel: The [[spoiler:final part of the final boss fight is this. After two of the three MacGuffin The triangles rebuild and empower you, you gain the ability to fire lasers and a WaveMotionGun at the villain to actually hurt him. During which, you're invincible too.]]

* MickeyMousing : This is the main mechanic of the bosses and levels because they move and attack with the music it also serves as a way to have their attacks be telegraphed

* SymbolSwearing: The player character does this on two occasions. Coincidentally, both of them involve the helicopter.

** Also, an updated added four ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' tracks that were remixed. They are unlocked by using amiibos or getting enough beat points.

* ClippedWingAngel: During the final boss battle, [[spoiler:after you get your EleventhHourSuperpower, you start destroying the BigBad. At first, they appear in their OneWingedAngel form like a LivingStructureMonster, but you quickly start destroying the segments that make the "room", and they opt for an OrbitingParticleShield. After enough damage, they're badly damaged, without any weaponry/terrain and unable to even fire a single shot. Their only attack becomes a futile bid to kill you by smashing the floor and create a shockwave.]]

* Mondegreen: The song in the final boss does NOT say "You have been destroyed" (as per the game itself). It's actually a name drop to the composer, "You been been Destroid".

* EasyModeMockery: Averted. Similar to VideoGame/{{Celeste}}, there is a "Casual Mode" which gives players double health in Story Mode, and unlocked songs can be played in a relaxed "party" mode (albeit without getting a ranking or points). In the words of the developers: "Don't worry, we ain't judging. Just have fun!"

[[caption-width-right:350:It's a game about shapes, and beats.]]

''Just Shapes And Beats'' is a indie video game developed by Berzerk Studio for UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}. The game is best described as a combination of intensely difficult bullet hell games along with rhythm action. The game offers four-player co-op multiplayer, a story mode, and a electronic-chiptune soundtrack by 20 different musicians.

** Another unlockable track is themed off ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' and features pink sprites of Liu Kang attacking.

* RhythmGame: See BulletHell

IT'S[[labelnote:*]] '''NOT'''[[/labelnote]] OVER

* FissionMailed: [[spoiler:During the FinalBoss fight, you're cornered into the boss's mouth and eaten, resulting in what appears to be a GameOver. You can revive as usual...but the boss simply subverts this trope by killing you again, and if you continue to try, it'll just keep knocking you back down. Double subverted when your friends come over to revive you and revive you with an EleventhHourSuperpower.]]

* BigBad: The pink, one-eyed horned circle as seen in the picture above. It survives your first encounter, pulls a surprise attack, [[MacGuffinDeliveryService steals the]] {{MacGuffin}}s and corrupts the world to turn it pink and makes itself king of the world.
* BloodlessCarnage: Double subverted. Everything in the game is made up of simple shapes, so blood isn’t really shown. Until the BigBad [[spoiler:gets stabbed in the head with the {{MacGuffin}} and bleeds from their eyes.]]
