Shapes is an immersive, one of a kind experience that helps you improve your self. A simple enough game, Shapes is an easy to learn game, that progresses into a challenging, engaging experience. CLASSIC MODE - Designed for competition - Engaging, competitive, lots of fun! ZEN MODE - Designed for relaxation - Relaxing, great to play without trying to get a high score I created this game to help me before taking my SAT and other school tests. I've found that personally, I feel more prepared and work better after playing this game. Even if its not a math class, Shapes helps. This also helps with older people, who need to keep their brain active. The game shows that anyone can improve their performance through practice and focus. Can apply to any area in life.
