It's fast, furious and utterly enthralling." -Pocket Gamer Features - Completely original gameplay, celebrated by the PAX 10, IGF, and critics.* - An old-school arcade experience based on developing pure skill. - An addictive progression system which constantly teaches you to improve. - 7 gameplay speeds, up to the impossibly fast Gentle Rain. - 60fps silky-smooth and responsive gameplay. - Customization via a wide variety of atmospheric backgrounds and color sets. - 5-song licensed soundtrack. - Colorblind-friendly color set swapping. - Leaderboards across multiple categories to challenge your friends. * Praise for the original Shibuya (2010): “Shibuya is a great puzzler that I recommend without hesitation. It’s rare to find a fresh color-matching puzzle game, but Shibuya succeeds.” -IGN "A touch-controlled narcotic" -Gameshack “While Shibuya is very easy-to-learn, it isn’t so easy to put down once you get hooked by its charms” -Macworld Selected for the PAX 10 Indie Showcase, 2010 Honorable Mention for the IGF's Best Mobile Game IOS Indie Game Of The Year - DIYgamer About in-app purchases: the only in-app purchases in Shibuya Grandmaster come in the form of optional, one-time purchases of additional backgrounds and color schemes, nothing that affects gameplay in any way.

Has serious Lumines vibes, in terms of art and sound. Nails its claims of simple-yet-challenging. Definitely sending money their way.

Welcome back, old friend. L0ck Well-Known Member Jan 29, 2015 212 2 0 #4 L0ck, Jul 29, 2015 Where can I get this soundtrack? Who are the artists? I am in love. aeranth Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 91 0 6 #5 aeranth, Jul 29, 2015 Wow, I am kinda floored right now... I loved the original Shibuya, I still have it on my phone and play it every so often. How great to have a newer, updated version. Here's hoping it has a few of the original tunes. Qwertz555 Well-Known Member May 22, 2010 2,318 29 48 #6 Qwertz555, Jul 29, 2015 Exactly \o/ and it's out, already. Same Devs and the original disappeared from my swiss shop. I had to download it from my mac. Still playable (5s, 8.2) with old screen size. jibjelly Well-Known Member Apr 17, 2015 356 0 0 #7 jibjelly, Jul 29, 2015 Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Andy C83 Well-Known Member Oct 20, 2010 3,630 25 48 Over the Rainbow #8 Andy C83, Jul 29, 2015 Aha, I didn't realise the game was out already; cheers for the heads up! I haven't played it in a few years but I'm sure it'll all come back to me, it's just like falling off a bicycle. skatter New Member Oct 24, 2013 3 0 0 #9 skatter, Jul 30, 2015 I actually bought the EP the original Shibuya got its music from, on the strength of that game. I'll be interested to see how this newer version is. Guise Well-Known Member Jul 10, 2009 2,027 14 38 #10 Guise, Jul 30, 2015 I couldn't disagree less, Andy! L0ck Well-Known Member Jan 29, 2015 212 2 0 #11 L0ck, Jul 30, 2015 I never played the old version, but I love the music on this new one and wish the artist/ep info were in the app. Cccee Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 250 0 0 #12 Cccee, Jul 30, 2015 I still have the original version but was so thrilled to find this one!!!! Twice the fun!!! SHIBUYA is a true classic!!! Hooray!!!! jplewe Member Jul 30, 2015 5 0 0 #13 jplewe, Jul 30, 2015 Last edited: Jul 30, 2015 Hi guys, Shibuya Grandmaster dev here. I really appreciate the kind words! Shibuya can be kind of a tricky one to convince people to try because it looks so simplistic, so we're hoping we can overcome that. The music was actually licensed, after a lot of listening and editing, from a stock music place, so I'm not sure the artists' work is available any other way, but I'll check. Feel free to friend me on the iOS or Android leaderboards. So far I'm still at the top, but that'll change. Here's a gameplay video of scoring about 7,000 on one of the faster speeds using my weird two-hand style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgk-MPiQWPk Brettedwards Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2015 75 0 0 #14 Brettedwards, Jul 31, 2015 Thanks for your efforts. I like this game a lot was getting a bit sick of the match 3 games. dydiec Member May 20, 2012 15 0 1 #15 dydiec, Aug 1, 2015 Loving this game! I loved Lumines, and this game reminds me a lot of it. I bought the lifetime unlock of DLC for $5 to not only support the dev, but the all the different skins are a nice bonus on top of it Great job, dev! Keep up the great work and hope to see what other DLC you make available for it in the future. I'm hooked! scottbailey Active Member Nov 2, 2013 31 0 0 #16 scottbailey, Aug 2, 2015 This is a great game. Polished production, great music. I'm having a ton of fun, thank you! dasaff1 Well-Known Member Oct 25, 2010 88 1 8 #17 dasaff1, Aug 2, 2015 I'm really having trouble with the 10-4x combo challenge. Any tips? jplewe Member Jul 30, 2015 5 0 0 #18 jplewe, Aug 2, 2015 Last edited: Aug 2, 2015 The most frequent tip is to try getting used to a faster speed. If you're surviving your current speed, try bumping it up a notch and you'll get more chances. Also, try the tutorials and practice mode if you need to work on your strategy! Edit: one other tip -- only match two of each color, then separate them with a different color. If you have three or more of one color it'll take away space you need to get a 4x. Guise Well-Known Member Jul 10, 2009 2,027 14 38 #19 Guise, Aug 3, 2015 This game is GOOD. raravan Well-Known Member May 18, 2014 829 38 28 #20 raravan, Aug 3, 2015 awesome game.
